If it means substantial starter upgrades at 5+ positions, would you endure another year of Rex Grossman?

BUT! then it would be a FA qb, i just don’t think shanny goes another year with rexy

But there are 2 things I must say.

First, it would be preferable to at least bring in an FA QB (Matt Flynn) for competition with Rex.

Second, if we are to substantially upgrade 5 positions I would rather it came almost entirely through the draft, not Free Agency. Maybe one position (probably Guard) could be upgraded in FA but the other 4 must come from the draft.

all in all I’ve been promoting this stance for months, but with Flynn in place of Rex.

The 91 team was cloned and he was QB.

My life depended on it.

It meant I married Oprah with no pre-nup.

Jesus appeared to me in a bowl of soup and told me that Rex was good.

It meant stopping a nuclear holocaust.

Should I go on?

Franchise QB > extra picks: QB ability to raise level of play for wole team. See Manning, Peyton; Brady, Tom (especially early SB years throw to likes of Troy Brown) Brees; Drew.

A franchise QB had the ability to make his own defense better by scoring points thus making it easier for his D to play from a position of strength. (rushing passer) see New England, Indy, New Orleans D’s.

More over elite ones make surronding talent better. If Shan-Allen see’s RGIII as that guy then trade & get him!

Build team around franchise QB > build team THEN find a “caretaker” QB. (Alex Smith, Kolb type)

To get Barkley, we will have to have either the 1st or 2nd pick in the draft in 2013. I don’t understand what he could give us over Luck or RG3. We are STILL going to have to give up a ton of picks to move up for him. Why are we going to postpone the enevitable?

Could’t we do the exact same thing this season? Bring in a WR, G and maybe C in FA. Move up in the draft for one of the two QB’s, then draft a T in the 3rd. Next year we could use our 2nd for a CB.

Doesn’t this in essence give us the same thing, just we get it done a year sooner, and can start the healing process that much quicker?

and put him in place of Train Rex.

NO! NO! NO! and HELL NO!

we got really lucky last year… the year before last think we only got 2 starter and 1 of them was banks. i say we deal picks 1-4 for the number 2 pick of the draft. its worth the gamble imo. specialy after they was willing to give a 2 and 3 for old mcnabb that got beat out by both vick and kolb.

No amount of substantially better players at every other position could negate the constant turnovers Rex brings to the table… whether those turnovers are picks, fumbles or inability to get a first down. Even the best defenses in history wear down if they are on the field 45 of the 60 minutes of play.

No sir. In all my years as a football fan, nothing gave me more of a hopeless feeling in the pit of my stomach then when the Redskins had no future, no potential, no glimmer of talent in the game or sitting on their bench at Quarterback.

A very sad season and I can’t go through it again.

I know it, you know it, Shanny knows it, Snyder knows it, Bruce Allen knows it and the fans know it.

Rex Grossman and John Beck are football suicide.

Not that I am promoting Rex, but the recent posts about Ponder, Colin Kaeperwhatever, have reeked of Cheech & Chong material…

No, I believe this is the year we make our move. It is all about timing, and with our salary cap, EXCELLENT draft last year, and the expectations on the HC, the writing on the wall is very legible….

Which NFL teams would be better/the same with Rex Grossman as QB?

if the texans and jags didnt choke down the stretch the colts woulda never won the afc south the year before even with manning. now that the texan have inproved on D they have alot of work to do imo. i think they keep luck but will be begging to deal that 1st pick of the second round for extra picks.

what are you guys talking about ? colts need a ton of help more then us even.i wouldnt be shocked to see them trade luck. but i doubt they will because qb worth more then any other spot on the team. but you can bet ur ass they will be trying to trade their 2nd rounder to get extra picks.

they do also get the first pick of the second round right?

1. who will be left at #6? that we need really bad without hoping a team makes us a trade offer to trade back?
2.do we want to get in a money war over flynn?
3.we are most likely gonna have to either trade up in the 2nd round to get a qb too. maybe even have to trade up to the first round to get 1 of the better 2nd round qbs. so good bye to our 3rd and maybe 1 of our 4s.
4.the seat will be warm for mike shanahan and snyder has got to be dieing to stick his nose in by now. and i couldnt really blame him since mike shanahan is at or near the bottom with the worst coaches he has ever had. and thats with a new gm and with out snyder hands being in the mix.

or we risk not getting a qb at all again this year. unless we wanna roll the dice on a later round qb and hope he will be better then john beck in 2 years. im just so sick of losing im willing to take a risk at a franchise qb while the the cost is cheap. i dont think the other teams behind us will offer over what we can offer from the 6 spot. plus gonna be alot harder to get that franchise qb in the future as the team gets better. we were john beck not starting 3 games awy from going 7-9 if we get even a tiny upgrade over grossmen we are 8-8 easy at that point its gonna take a ton of picks from a few drafts to get a chance at a frachise qb.

If, between the upcoming draft and free agency, we land a legit shackles corner, a jump up and grab it receiver, a new tackle and a pair of guards (rich FA year for guards), and a solution at strong safety, could you take one more year of Rex, knowing that we’d THEN push our chips in to grab Matt Barkley or someone else who proves himself?

The problem with this scenario (& I said above I would take it) is that after these moves, even with Rex Grossman at QB, we are probably going to be an 8-8,9-7 or even a 10-6 team that is in the play-offs but much farther away from being able to draft an elite QB prospect.
