i dont like this one bit. Cutler is one thing, Leftwich is another

Why???????

GMScud · 04-04-2009, 02:43 PM

I guess that would mean the end of Collins, and in that sense he would be an upgrade. But I can think of a handful of teams where Leftwich would be a legit starter. I don't really get this.

Plus, as SS pointed out, lots of people inside the organization are really high on Colt. So I'm confused here.

Collins is in trouble. He's clearly not competition for Campbell's job.

redskins5044 · 04-04-2009, 02:45 PM

this makes no sense. he is not a west coast system qb, his release is not quick he is so slow in delevering the ball and is not very mobile. when played played last year it was behind the steelers o-line.our o-line is horrible u need to be able move a little bit to play behind them.

Actually, the Steelers O-line was worse than ours as far as pass protection. That was their one real weak spot as a team last year.

The steelers line was terrible why do you think leftwich even played, cause we knocked bigben out. If we would've stayed healthy our line played very well that's why Portis lead the league most of the season, until injury put an end to all that.

couldn't have said it better.
This is odd. We should try to sign a guy like Garcia (though it's unlikely. he'll probably go somewhere where he'll have a chance to start.) or at least a qb with some experience in the west coast offense if we're going to make a move.
I like Brennan but it wouldn't hurt him to hold the clip board one more year before stepping up to the no.2 spot.

Nothing to see here move along.

Dblock804 · 04-04-2009, 02:53 PM

Just another week for the Danny. BL wants to start. It's clear that JC will not be our starter this year.

What are you on about? JC is the starter.

The Goat · 04-04-2009, 02:59 PM

WTF! Did i miss something...when did the FO decide QB was such an issue for us? It's like something happened all the sudden and Danny/Vinny whoever became hellbent on changing things around.

Dblock804 · 04-04-2009, 03:04 PM

I thought JC would start as well. But about 72 hours ago he was going to start in Denver. After reading the Wilbon articals Im wondering if Zorn even knows who's gonna start. I do know BL would like to come home to D.C. and start.

i just think they have lost faith in JC, but come on Leftwich is just a backup, campbell would beat him out anyway! What's this mean for Brennan?

WaldSkins · 04-04-2009, 03:04 PM

Leftwich would only slide into the number 2 role. BL's contract will be cheaper then what Collins is getting paid so we will gain some cap room. Plus Leftwich is a known diehard redskin fan. No Biggie.
