Better than throwing too much away for a FA QB who is not really a long term solution. And honestly none of them this year are. Save the ammo until there is something to shoot IMO.

Wow. Some really puzzling FA moves. Are we really eager to get some camp bodies?

I know. At first I resisted. Now I am a vocal convert.

The one guy I think it makes most sense to get is Caleb Hanie. He's a 24 year old RFA. There is no compensation for him. The Bears hold a right of first refusal, but they aren't going to match a legit FA contract. The Redskins should go get him, right now.

Yes, because: look at your calendar.

Haynesworth for Hanie!

This way, Cutler won't have to be victim to Albert again, because the Bears seem to be the only team he puts an effort in for.

They were all top two round picks. They all had really good predictive college statistics. They all can be acquired at bargain basement prices (I think Leinart is not coming here because there's actually a market for him).

Basically, the Shanahan's are making a bet that the market missed on a QB drafted between 2006-2008 and they can find him

Agreed. I'd rather have Clemens, Beck, Leinart under C in 2011 than any QB that was drafted this year.

To all those that are complaining about our QB situation....There is no franchise QB ripe on the franchise QB tree at Redskins Park. We gambled on McNabb, it didn't pan out. We're going to have a journeyman QB unless one of these guys steps up or we get one in the 2012 draft. Be patient, like it or not, we're rebuilding. There aren't any other options at QB out there that don't break the bank or require multiple top draft picks to get.

Done.

And as soon as I make that apart of my sig, it looks like I'm going to have to remove it.
