[diehardskin2982]

Maybe their feelings about RGIII are stronger after the interview with him.

I understand that this franchise wants a franchise QB.
But I don't get the level of angst.
There are really only 4 QB 'needy' teams and outside of Miami I don't see how the other teams desire for a QB rivals ours.
The way I see it there are 4 teams with different levels of need for a franchise QB.
But there are 4 candidates:
o Manning who's actually a franchise QB
o Flynn, Griffin and Tannehill potential franchise QBs

I don't see a problem.
We sit back and let the draft come to us.
I have full faith that come training camp we'll either have a franchise QB (Manning) or a potential franchise QB or both.

Wow, that's a surprising rumor.
Must come from Osweiller's camp, I can't imagine any team is looking at Osweiller anywhere near 12.

I think the "angst" is because aside from Manning not all these teams agree that the QB's you mentioned are all franchise QB's. If you only like 1 or 2 of the 4 there is no time to waste in getting your guy...

Well to be clear I'm not saying any team thinks any of the non-Manning QBs are currently franchise QBs.
The only franchise QB available is Peyton Manning the others are potential franchise QBs.

Sure there are endless speculations about which team likes which QB more or how the teams rank the QBs that we'll never know.
But don't you agree that its fair to say that the top QB prospects are considered potential franchise QBs?

Sounds like they're going to offer Landry something low due to him still not being 100%, but will easily let him walk too. Personally sick of his games and think for the long run it's best to cut ties.

Great news, originally you had mentioned a rumor about maybe moving him I think.

4-3 d with Long at one DE and Orakpo at the other. I think the feeling is Po is better suited for a 4-3 End. the move would put Quinn at a LB spot or possibly Po at a LB spot. Rams are looking for a QB rushing complement to Long.

how did you end up qualifying for the 500?

I would agree the rookies you mentioned are potential franchise QB's even though the teams will differ on how likely they are to fulfill that potential.

As for Flynn...I think it is very up in the air what the NFL really thinks of him. He's a former 7th round pick with 2 game tapes. I would think the consensus on him would be that he could be a starting upgrade for some teams but is not franchise QB material.

Weeden is Weinke and he did not impress me enough to make him QB 1.

Nah, I just asked if people would move him

Hearing it's really down to the Redskins or Dolphins. Browns not willing, for now, to move two 1sts[/QUOTE]

So I know a few weeks ago from what you were hearing it didn't look as if we were going to trade up. Would you say now from what you are hearing it looks like we are trying to move up?

Based on what? I can say RG3 is Akili Smith and Luck is Ryan is Tim Couch.

This is outstanding, Davis and Fletch are key. The decision on Landry, would it be a franchise tag or actual deal? While asking and commenting on new deals, any word on bringing Carriker back?

Might be about time to admit my belief they weren't serious about moving up for RG3 is wrong.

yeah, but that is a positive thing. you believe they make a play for Manning as well if we do indeed get R3? that would be something...
