WyomingRedskin Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I like Rex and want him to succeed. But he is a short term solution to our QB position. I would absolutely draft a young guy to groom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Didn't Shanny draft Cutler after Jake Plummer had taken Denver to the AFCCG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichmondRedskin88 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Of course. Our pick can learn in the wings. There's too many great QBs next draft to ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterx Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 This is a stupid thread. We would have drafted a QB this year if one fell to the Shanahans based on their player rankings. It just so happened we had a lot more holes to fill and more valuable players were available in those positions. We will draft one if it fills their positional rankings and our team needs. Heck, any team would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Dirty30 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Rex is 31 absolutely we do but what if grossman is our elway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arundelredskin Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Its obvious we need a franchise QB for the future.Look what Cam Newton has done for the panthers.Bring one in and let him compete with Rex.We cant wait any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsince72 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Yes, we really need to draft a QB next year. The team needs to set it's self up for the rest of Mike's contract and possibly 15 more years for Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Yes...but if Rex can stay consistent then we can afford to let the rookie sit and learn for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, actually while we didn't do much to replace them, they are great examples of what we should do now. Doug Williams was signed as a backup/insurance. Rypien was allowed to develop, hidden on Joe Gibbs' IR list. Good examples of not drafting a high-ranked QB.Of course, neither lasted long, so the guys who say try to get a young franchise QB that can last have a point, too. Still, we may have something good with Grossman. We could at least start grooming his successor. Ideally, we got Rex as starter, Beck as vet backup. Would be nice to have a 3rd developmental QB.

Warhead36 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Shanahan drafted Jay Cutler just three months after Jake Plummer had them in the AFC Title game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pick6 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think the Skins will draft a QB next year. It looks like the Colts are going to go after Luck now, but there will still be other good ones out there. Personally I would like to see Allen go after a MLB in the first round. We seem to have more success with 1st round defensive players than offense players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieskin Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 yes because good (real good) QB's are nurtured into the NFL and Mike Shanahan would want the next QB to be trained properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'll go insane if the Colts get Luck. First they get Peyton Manning and then they get the NEXT Peyton Manning (obviously no guarantee of that but most scouts seem to think he is worthy of that title as a prospect).

Heck, any team would. I know that I started the thread, but I wouldn't call it a stupid question. If we go to the playoffs and the Shanahans feel that they are a couple of pieces away from being a super bowl contender, why would they use a draft pick on a QB this upcoming draft if they feel that the can go to the Super Bowl with Rex. On top of that, I don't think the Shanahans are going to draft a QB for the sake of drafting a QB, if there isn't a QB they like when its time for us to draft, then they won't draft a QB. Especially if we are drafting low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21cents Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 We should draft a QB but with 2nd or 3rd round. Get someone like kellen Moore and have him as the backup QB for 3-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Kellen Moore is teeny. He's like 180 lbs. He'd get crushed in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Vinny, is that you? You may kid about that, but moving UP in the draft to get a QB could well be in the cards. Remember that Shanny did so to get Cutler. A QB needs to be groomed to be the future of this team. Rex's limitations have started to show and he's already over 30.

21cents Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Kellen Moore is teeny. He's like 180 lbs. He'd get crushed in the NFL Like i said hes stock is gonna drop because of the size and playing in a weak conference. But he has all the talents in the world. Draft him, sign him, and have him sit for 2-3 years. Iam sure he can gain 20lbs in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 We've already forgotten John Beck is being groomed as the qb of the future. If Rex plays the Skins to the playoffs, then you have to resign him. And you can draft a qb next year or the year after. Probably need to target OL and CB next draft. This team still has a lot of holes to fill, depth to add, and playmakers to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I can't believe people are still talking about Kellen Moore, we've already been through this ad nauseum. The dude has a noodle arm, and is short. It.Just.Would.Not.Work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoDeep81 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If Rex took us to the SB, we should still "aquire" a young QB.. I'd prefer having a young franchise caliber QB watching for a year or two anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If he makes the playoffs, or even gets 9-7 and doesnt make it.. you have to give him another year. he's not old, never has had a serious injury. I say that the impetus on drafting a QB depends on who you can get. You can't just decide to take the future even if the talent isn't there. That said, this upcoming draft should be pretty good for QB, so it's a tough call. the days of grooming a QB for a couple years seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur. Draft a guy high, expect him to play. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
