Redskins Quarterback Situation - Short, Intermediate and Long Term

[VegasSkinsFan]

OK, based on this interview there is no way in hell the Redskins should pick Kyler Murray... interview is the second video in the link.

yeah that was a mess. I do wonder about the Murray/O'Connell connection though...they did a camp together.

Agree that 1 of the top 4 guys will be there when we pick. The mock I just put up today, I was planning to take Murray if he was there but we was gone. Ended up with Clayton Thorsen in the 5th...turned out to be a pretty decent draft for me.

i will be horrified if they take murray. i think that has the potential to be a disaster.

I'm very interested to see how/if Murray can play in the NFL, but I'd prefer he not do that on the Skins.

found this interesting. the bruce allen QB record. in all that time, and think of the draft picks and the guaranteed money we have spent, we had one QB with a winning record. smith.
i suppose that one could argue that we must have surrounded them with rubbish support at all levels but you'd think that even the law of averages would have given us a few more winners.
if you were a QB in the draft, you'd be scared stiff of hearing your name called by the skins.


The Washington Redskins' starting quarterbacks since Bruce Allen took over as executive vice president/general manager in 2010:

Kirk Cousins 57 26-30-1
Robert Griffin III 35 14-21
Rex Grossman 16 6-10
Donovan McNabb 13 5-8
Alex Smith 10 6-4
Colt McCoy 6 1-5
Josh Johnson 3 1-2
John Beck 3 0-3
Mark Sanchez 1 0-1

Not nearly as scared as the fans will be with mid first round pick as a QB. We've been shell shocked by constantly failing at the QB position. But the drafted QB could look forward to a decent OL assuming they stay healthy for once and a promising running game. sigh

Not if I thought it would eventually lead to an 84 million dollar contract lol.

[kbg]

fair point.

I didn't realize he had been with the organization since 2010...yeesh, time flies.

Specially here that has potential of a meltdown type issue.

[kbg]

always wondered if kirk bumping up his stats when it didn't matter was just with us or if it was him. was reading this about manning when a name popped up.
might not have been us.

Manning also spent a significant chunk of the season throwing in garbage time. He threw 90 passes on drives that started with the Giants holding no more than a 1 percent chance of winning the game, third most in the NFL behind Kirk Cousins and Matt Ryan.

Not only that, two sport athletes can always "retire" from football to focus on their baseball career. I could see a situation where he struggled with the Skins and then quit for his baseball career. I'd let some other team take that chance.

that is exactly a major part of why i have concerns. it would be such a skins move.

I'm not sure how accurate the reports are, but a couple are circulating that we were potentially in the market for Joe Flacco. If true, that makes me really rethink on how the offseason plays out. If the FO is looking at outside QBs, then I would have to think that Andy Dalton/Teddy Bridgewater/Ryan Tannehill are in play. Maybe Case Keenum or Nick Foles too ??? Signing any one of those guys definitely takes us out of a QB at #15 pick.

[VegasSkinsFan]

^^ to piggyback on my above post. Looking into Flacco, to me, suggests for sure that Allen & Co are all in for 2019. Colt McCoy does not scream "all in " , so I have to believe that a FA QB is somehow in the cards...they wont risk "all in" with a rookie QB...not even one with flash like Kyler Murray, who I really hope we do not draft.

Dalton and Bridgewater maybe. Keenum if cheap and 1 yr maybe. Foles too expensive and a trade so no, Tannehill also costly and proven inadequate so no.

Yeha, none of the options make me get overly excited...maybe Bridgewater?? Even Bridgewater comes with his set of question marks. I like Foles but like you say, too expensive + trade. Keenum could be realistic, esp if cut and we can get him before FA. Never been a fan of Dalton or Tannehill, but Dalton has the Gruden connection....but I still wouldn't be wowed.
As far as the draft, only a couple of guys interest me honestly. All have question marks, but Drew Lock, Jarret Stidham, and Clayton Thorson are still my 3 logical guys, but none really gives us a leg up in Allen/Snyder/Gruden " Win Now" mode. All I know is that if we draft Daniel Jones, I wont be a happy camper.
