I'm not buying into that really. His line coach, Washburn, is with Philly; his coordinator, Schwartz, is in Detroit; his head coach there, Fischer, isn't anywhere.

Who's the guy that'd want him in there? Bud Adams himself?

Not saying it WON'T happen but the argument of they know how to get the most out of him is mostly moot, especially since he's not due a new contract quite yet.

Funny how NFLN said they think the redskins will finish with the worst record

Dennis Dixon is intriguing. He looked really good during Rapistburger's suspension.

I love everything about what Vince Young brings to the table athletically. He's shown some serious flashes of star potential during his few years in the league. It's the 5 inches between his ears that worries me. But he's still better than anything that we've got at QB right now, so if the price is right I'd take him.

You took the words right out of my mouth. That article was terrible. Spelling and punctuation errors, and lame speculation. The funniest was when the author said "reek havoc." LOL.

"A very likely scenario is Young for Haynesworth straight up." ??? Really? Haynesworth isn't worth a side of rice pilaf at this point.

Besides, the Titans are likely to release him, so that we can get him without giving up anything, should we so desire.

Agree, poor article.

They even said we didn't have a great draft because we passed on Gabbert

Im holding out on the redskins signing Billy Volek

Here is next years quarterbacks. Some solid talent. I like Kellen Moore.[/quote]


Wow, no Dan Persa in there? Persa has to be top 5 in Qbs in next years draft. He was voted First Team Big Ten QB by the coaches and second team by the press, beating out Pryor in both. 73% completion rate 15 TDs and only 4 INTS. I know he is from Northwestern, but the guy is mobile as hell, and was virtually the entire NU offense. If he has an outstanding season again next year I do hope we give him a look.

Re: Redskins 2011 Starting Quarterback: John Beck?
 

I would love Moore or Jones, but assuming they aren't there when we pick, I still think Persa would be a good look, if not for a second QB pickup.

Serioulsy, I'm looking at his numbers from years past and they should at least earn him a chance to compete for a starting job. Then again collecting a 6 or 7 figure pay check to wear a red "don't hit me shirt" in San Diego can't possibly be to bad of a deal.

Volek could be the bridge we need until Shanahan drafts the guy he wants to mentor.

I don't know. Theres always something intriguing about trying to make a zero to hero story happen at QB. So long as you have a proven Offensive Mind behind then you can at least drink the kool aid.

Personally I think the Redskins will be better off if they focus on building their offense around the running game regardless of who they bring in at QB. And right now I think it should be Beck because despite him being 30 years old he still has the most upside for the Redskins in 2011. I went back and looked at his preseason numbers in 2009 under Cam Cameron in Baltimore, which was a system he had spent time in and he was productive in those games so maybe the time spent here really has helped Beck.

Someone like Young on the other hand has more upside overall but bottom line, Beck has an extra year in the system.

Still the Skins are taking a huge risk but the Shanahans have spun straw into gold before so I'll hope for the best but still look at the Cardinals as a cautionary tale.

As for Voleck. I don't know about the Redskins but he really should get a chance to start somewhere.
