I kinda like VY and Beck dishing it out for the starter position this year.

[quote=CultBrennan59;801893]Half of them won't be playing and will be busts or cut. And No, we could have them play out, because it's not like they're all going to be pro bowl caliber players that are game changers, maybe Kerrigan, but I think he'll have struggles moving from a hand in the dirt DE to a standup OLB.[/quote]

You are still banking on [b]one[/b] player turning an entire franchise around. I honestly can't believe you're so adamant about this, being that you're a fan of the team.

I don't know who this source is, and if he's someone inside the Redskins organization. But if he is, what the hell else is he supposed to say? "Yes, we totally plan on signing a player who's currently under contract with another team"

[quote=Dirtbag59;801722]Another view on VY-to-Redskins talk

Posted by Mike Florio on May 6, 2011, 5:23 PM EDT

AP
Earlier this afternoon, MDS pointed out an item from Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel regarding talk that Titans quarterback Vince Young could be destined for D.C.

Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com pointed out in an e-mail to PFT that Redskins coach Mike Shanahan counts former Titans coach Jeff Fisher and former Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger among his closest friends. Neither Fisher nor Heimerdinger would be expected to endorse Young to Shanahan.

That said, the biggest question for Shanahan is whether he has any better options. Between Young, John Beck, and Rex Grossman, we’d take Vince Young every time.[/quote]

Maybe not an endorsement, but certainly seems like Fisher believes Young can be successful

and Matt Leinart. I think those 3 would be the best combo going into the new season. I kinda wouldnt like to see Grossman with the team, he would be takin playing time away from the development of a possible starter.

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;801915]Kind of like Brian Orakpo huh?[/quote]


Thing that worries me though Quake is Kerrigan is a Big Ten hog from Indiana. Those hogs tend to be hogs. Orakpo is a warm weather guy, which means a whole different way of playing. Not saying kerrigan can't make the adjustment like Brian, just saying it might no go as smoothly or as quick. Big Ten is power football, not known for speed. Kerrigan was a great pick, but if we wanted a 3-4 OLB, we should have drafted one and picked Kerrigan to shore up the DL.

Re: Skinsfaninok's Available NFL QBs Poll
 

Kerrigan would struggle more as a 3-4 DE than he will as a 3-4 OLB. He's the perfect size for OLB.

I rather get Palmer. He has a cannon arm, desires new digs, and never had to be pulled because of some mental/ attitude issues. Besides, if he was so great Tenn wouldn't be willing to just plain release him. Cincy doesn't want to get rid of Palmer, he just wants out of a losing organization on the downward spiral.

Don't ever say Matt leinart and redskins in the same sentence again

Kerrigan's measurables are quite similar to Rak's. In fact, he had a better 20 yard shuttle and 3-cone drill than Rak.

That seals it. Welcome to Washington Mr. Young.

I was more concerned about Rak making the switch than I am Kerrigan. RK is going to be fine.

For what it's worth, Peter King thinks Rex will start the season:

HOWEVER, rumors from Cincy include Rex looking sexy in stripes:

[QUOTE]Among the names that are real possibilities are Rex Grossman, Jim Sorgi and Charlie Frye.

Grossman, who is entering his ninth season, is 20-14 as a starter and led Chicago to Super Bowl XLI. More importantly, he’s also been a backup and would know the role.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]But since we’re in the midst of a lockout and the draft is over, we might as well start looking ahead. Also, we’re talking a free agent signing and not a trade, which means Kevin Kolb, Vince Young and Donovan McNabb will not be factored in here. Plus, we’re also trying to be realistic.[/QUOTE]
