I would much prefer Russell Wilson but as long as its Manning + OT I would be okay with any developmental QB.

Cousins in particular.

I'd be more than ok with that.

I'd really like Manning/RG3(for cheap) but I already ate all my cake.

I feel like the Redskins FO just decides to spin the wheel every week and obsess over whichever QB it lands on.

Change Redskins FO to fan base and you're spot on

Have a hard time believing Cousins is the young QB they have been waiting 3 years to get their hands on. Seems like settling to me and I don't want them to settle.

Hahahaha. Perhaps I've oversimplified how Front Offices evaluate talent.

SS, given that FA is coming up soon, are you going to release a semi-comprehensive list of targets we are going to be actively pursuing? (probably better for another thread but I've already started typing)

12thMan · 02-29-2012, 02:38 PM

I agree Matty.

In fact I've gotten to the point where I just tune out or flat out ignore people that still say shit like, "Danny Boy" or compare the current front office to the any of the previous ones. Whether the Redskins overpay for RGIII, in our opinion, or get him for a decent value, I'm pretty sure it will be a well thought out decision and will make sense for the long-term success of the organization.

Bruce and Shanny are well aware of the other pressing needs facing this team and will stick to the overall framework to get us there, even if it means moving around some current pieces to recoup picks we lost acquiring RG.

Hadn't planned on it. I mean I've kind of mentioned most of the names I've heard so far. But I suppose I could

I thought you did one last season or did you just comb through JLC's list and make comments (in conjunction with the names you dropped throughout the lockout period)?

If you don't then perhaps I can ask Chico to dream one up this evening lol.

It is kind of funny how people expect certain things from SS as though it is his primary job to fill us in on Redskins news.

Cousins looked legit at the combine, his passes seemed to have a lot more velocity than other QBs he was throwing with, with accuracy to match.

I'm certainly not qualified to do it.

I don't think so.

I think Dirtbag might have done a "What Potential Draft Picks Have We Met With" that I assisted on.

Mike Wise is pissing in our koolaid...

Robert Griffin III has Redskins, fans heading for a relapse - The Washington Post

I agree that maybe we are overhyping RG3 too much but come on. This line bugged me:

"Why not build up the offensive line, the receiving corps or find a shutdown corner and then go all-in for Barkley next year? He was thought to be a higher pick than RG III, after all, before he decided to return to Southern Cal."

You can make this argument every year! When do we finally get a QB????
