He's a total bum. Although Crompton is young(24), would he really be that much worse than Beck or Grossman?

I really don't know anything about the guy, so I could care less.

I know fans tend to have a soft spot for the unknown backup QB, but when does that guy ever pan out?

Trent Green was probably the last one here. And that was ages ago.

Rex knows the offense well, good teammate. Cheap and available.

I tried, that's all I can come up with.

Those are the only reasons we'd bring him back. I honestly think we're gonna go in an entirely different direction this offseason.

Might be a bit risky to not have one QB in the stable experienced in Mike/Kyle's esoteric system. Also if Rex is as good a guy as reported he could help RGIII develop.

I would do a combo of RG3, a rookie, and either Rex or some vet that has experience in the Shannies' system. There doesn't appear to be many of them on the market though, so we might have to settle for Rex.

Manning meeting with Titans' Munchak on Wednesday

Deepest quarterback stable...ever?

REDSKINS4ever · 03-14-2012, 04:52 PM

The Redskins were on the trail of Matt Leinart last off season after the lockout ended. With Leinart being released by the Houston Texans days ago, and given his availability to sign with a new ball club, should we go after him as a primary back up for RG3? The offense in Houston is practically the same offense in Washington so Leinart would already know the offense.

SmootSmack · 03-14-2012, 05:23 PM

Well, he was released because he failed his physical so it may be a while before he starts to talking to teams. He's still working on getting healthy

skinsfaninok · 03-14-2012, 06:04 PM

I'd rather have Rex than Matt leinart

Starting to wonder if Manning will sign anywhere soon. Also starting to wonder if there's really a great "fit" for him?

Manning has narrowed his targets down to four teams. It might come down to Arizona and Denver.

I just don't see an aging, career-dome guy going to Denver after 4 surgeries on his neck.

Elway is the key there I guess...plus their cap room.
