Per Rotoworld (2/22/12): Redskins coach Mike Shanahan "loves" Oklahoma State QB Brandon Weeden

[Alaskins]

According to SI.com's Don Banks, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan "loves" Oklahoma State QB Brandon Weeden after coaching him on the Senior Bowl's South roster.

Banks says he heard a "theory recently" that the Redskins might trade down into the 20s or back into the 20s to snag Weeden at the tail end of the draft's first round. Weeden is considered pro-ready at the age of 28, and could give Rex Grossman or another veteran stopgap a serious run for the starting job in training camp. The Redskins have a defense ready to contend in 2012.

What do you all think?

On the one hand, he looks pretty good. On the other hand we're batting .000 with quarterbacks who came out of college late (see Beck, John).

[skinfan2k]

I love rumors. Remember how we were suppose to grab Ryan Harris, Vince Young. Mike S doesn't give anything away. You just gotta wait til draft day to know. Finally some structure at redskins park

[PCS]

What do I think? Oh ****. :paranoid: (Runs away from Stadium).

[mmzznnxx]

I'd rather have Tannehill, personally, but I'll support Weeden if we do get him. They've been missing on FA QB's the past two years but I think when it comes to drafting QB's the Shanahans know what they're doing.

[topdog]

I like the rumor he only likes the top 2 QB's better.

[s0crates]

I think Weeden is the best quarterback in the draft after Luck and RG3. The only thing keeping his stock down is his age.

This would be one of those RARE occasions where it's perfectly ok to scare folk out of the thread running and screaming at one of your alter ego 'Evil Jay's' spawn of the devil pics.

Hail.

it has begun.

[jwpanic]

interesting fact about weeden: he was part of the trade that sent kevin brown to the yankees in '03.

yep, dude's that old.

I think I understand the words that are coming from your keyboard...

So, nothing to see here folks, forget this thread ever was created? JLC, if you are reading this, we like Tanehill way more?

[s0crates]

This past season Weeden passed for 4727 yards, completed 72% of his passes, and had 37 TDs to only 13 INTs. He has prototypical size and arm strength. Most importantly, he was a winner in college, even beating Luck's Stanford team and RG3s Baylor team.

Weeden could be the steal of the draft. It may be idle speculation, but I would be happy with this move. At the least, I would prefer Weeden over Tannehill.

Trent's gonna love protecting 'The Weed'.

[HLF]

Like the guy on Twitter said *Cough* *Cough* Smokescreen

[LaRonDontLikeUgly]

With Weeden we get to kill two birds with one stone: he's a "project" QB and a "journeyman" all wrapped into one!

Perfect Redskin material IMO!

I was more playing with PCS on a long running theme I have with him; running behind this being nothing new; Rotoworld being a terrible, fan fuelled 'reference' source; and the inevitable reaction your gona' get as this grows in response.

Norhing personal.

Hail.

Here is Weeden at the Fiesta Bowl this year. He opens the game with a bad INT, and a few sloppy throws, but once he got warmed up, he looked good.

He finished the day 29 of 42 for 399 yards with 3 TDs and 1 INT.

He is pretty good.

[herb mul-key]

Dude is a baller....I mean I don't know much but I really liked him in the bowl game vs Stanford beating Luck and his post game interview, been wondering if Shanny would like him...could be very a interesting move... I kinda like it....

[Enter Apotheosis]

I don't buy it and if Weeden talk gains steam I anticipate avoiding the Stadium for a few weeks.

[wilco_holland]

I also love certain things...but that doesn´t mean there good 4 me.

Drafting Weeden makes sad...very sad when it´s before the 3th draft day. Just saying.

[Audible_Red40]

I'd rather have Tannehill, personally, but I'll support Weeden if we do get him. They've been missing on FA QB's the past two years but I think when it comes to drafting QB's the Shanahans know what they're doing.

This. x2, totally agree,

[IONTOP]

We could get a solid 8 years out of him. The 2020 Draft class looks good, although I'm not sure who might declare early or redshirt yet, because they're all High School Freshmen right now...

I say go for it...

<edit rule 11 violation: quoting video>

He is pretty good.

After watching those highlights... I would rather go with someone else. he misfire quite a bit and it also looked like he does not do a good job of moving off of his first target.

Weedon will take time to develope which might not be the ideal situation when you are 28.

You know, that could have also been pretty much said of Wienke except Chris didn't play with anybody of Blackmon's stature.

[Chump Bailey]

I'd rather have Foles instead personally...

[s0crates]

You know, that could have also been pretty much said of Wienke except Chris didn't play with anybody of Blackmon's stature.

Maybe, but Weinke's completion percentage in the NCAA was a full 10% lower than Weeden's.
