Nevertheless, it might not be a bad idea for the Skins to do that in this draft because there are a lot of decent QB prospects in this class. A young starter + veteran backup (Rex) + a young developmental QB would be a good thing, IMO.

Who besides Luck and maybe Barkley are said to be instant starters at the pro level? If we're lucky enough to land Barkley maybe he could start right away next year...but my word that's a tremendous amount of pressure to put on a 22 yr old lad!! D.C. Media. Mike and Kyle. A horde of desperate fans.

I think that's risky as hell and would be much more confident in a savvy, even surly lol, vet starting while our big gamble grows into the world, league, offense awhile. Problem is...who's that vet?! Probably Rex is that guy because we're not likely to spend our first pick and big FA money on QBs at the same time. Plus that new QB would be learning the system from the beginning (just like the rookie), so we'd be at an even bigger risk than with Grossman.

Moral of the story, Grossman is our QB for the time being...as...long...as...Mike's...here!!

I have more confidence in at least three available veteran coaches currently unemployed and at least that many coordinators who are probably a big part of the NFL through the rest of my lifetime.
