[quote=SmootSmack;892995]I'm tempted to flip the opinion of Sanchez and Kolb there

What if I throw in Schaub and Alex Smith?[/quote]

Yes to Schaub.

M-m-m-m, OK, I guess so, if we have to do it for the short term to Orton.

No to the rest.

If the Skins sign one of these players, it should be because they couldn't land the #2 pick to take RGIII. And, like some others here, I would still want to see the Skins draft a QB of the future this year. I would like to have either Tannehill or Cousins in that role.

Since we are throwing out names, what about Flacco? Can you imagine the Ravens with Manning?

[quote=skinsfaninok;892999]Sanchez=Grossman

Smith=JC

Schaub= Brad Johnson

Kolb= I don't even know????


So No I don't want any of those guys.[/quote]


Brad Johnson = superbowl win....Brad Johnson = best redskins QB season in last 20 years

Haven't we been down this dog and pony show before? Why do fans always fall for this short term fix? I don't even see why Manning would come here. His RT and best TE are one puff away from being done. No wr's. Shaky o-line. I just don't see him coming here.

Odd that people are shooting down the idea of Schaub so easily. He knows this offense and is capable of putting up big numbers, and he's only 30.

I think Seattle and/or Miami are going to offer him a ton of guaranteed loot. I don't see us staying in the bidding with them for long.

You mean his LT of course, but what if we sign Manning, Garcon, Royal, Grubbs, draft Blackmon in the 1st, Cousins in the 2nd...

I mean I wouldn't look at it just sign Manning and call it a day

[quote=CultBrennan59;892919]Oh my God...get ready for my smack down people.


For those of you out there that think Peyton Manning coming here will (whether or not we get Wayne and Garcon) make us instant contenders in the east...WAKE THE F#$K UP!!!!

I am so enraged right now.

Have we not seen this before over the years?!?!?!?!?!

Its like we're all trying to find the great big name free agent to sign to make up for all or most of the bad big name free agent signings we've had in the past.

People then come up with "Oh thats the old management, this new management is different..." well this new management is still being judged, because this new management is also being viewed as the same management that decided to trade away a 2nd and another pick for Donovan McNabb, a guy who didn't even finish out the season with us.
People here always do the old "yeah ___ ____ may not work out, but ____ ____ is different..." No its not much different because we've seen this movie before in the past.

There are people on this board that truly believe that if we sign Peyton Manning (the greatest QB of all time IMO) we will be instant contenders if he stays healthy.

So apparently we decide to look at the positives and ignore the negatives, which, oh, by the way, got us in trouble with Albert Haynesworth a few years ago.

People are here saying "Oh Albert is soo good; he's the best DT today!; he'll make our whole team good; he's a pro bowler; With him and orakpo watch out we could go far with our DL, possibly like the giants"

But buried in all that was a few smart fans here saying things like "I don't know he only played good when it was his contract year; he never stayed healthy; he got into fights with coaches and teammates; he stomped on a guys head and has a lot of character issues; he's going to be another Dana Stublefield signing"...

well same thing with signing manning

positives
+ he's one of the greatest QB's of all time
+ he's better than what we have now at QB

negatives
- he could be hit right in the neck and never play a down of football again or even be paralyzed.
- hes been in one offense his whole life
- hes had some great skill players around him in Indy
- he isn't mobile getting out of the pocket/he doesn't fit the mike shanahan zone blocking bootleg offense
- he is at the end of his career
- he wants $$$ and he knows we pay.
- we are out of the draft for a potential franchise QB like RG3

Guys it will be a blessing in disguise when Peyton doesn't sign here, trust me.[/quote]

A smart redskins fan. Great teams are built through the draft.

I worry about schuab because he's always hurt

OK, but the LT (you do mean TW right?) and TE are excellent players and if they have learned their lesson will be assets. I think if you take Gaffney, Hankerson, and Moss and add Wayne and Garcon it looks pretty damn good. O-line needs some help but that seems like something that could be addressed.

Plus, you can still play for the future by drafting a QB to learn behind Manning. I still think you go all out, trade picks for the ability to draft RGIII, sign Manning and free agents to improve now, and we are set for a long time.

Kind of a short sighted view don't you think, considering we have 8 draft picks and a ton of cap room to go along with Manning.
