Who should be the back up QB

[twistedpower]

most of the threads on here are about the Trade or the drafting of a starting QB but Now that we know we'll get RG3, who should be the backup QB?

One option is to go veteran, but I like the idea of picking up a late rounder and let him develope along side RG3, if we can get Russell Wilson in the fifth round I think it would be a great fit. Both are accurate strong armed throwers that out up very similar numbers in college and at the combine. The offence wouldn't have to change when the backup comes into the game like it would if we had a veteran that isn't as athletic as these two are. Wilson would cost a lot less then a veteran and we could use that money somewhere else.

What are everyone's thoughts on this, and since I don't post cry often, if I didn't format this correctly can a mod fix it for me

It is going to be Rex.

[Redskins4ever]

It could very well be Jonathan Crompton if the Redskins don't re-sign Grossman. Beck will not be a Redskin. If he is, he'll be third string if Crompton outshines him in training camp.

I'd say Rex but there are other candidates that know the system, how about our old draft pick Sage Rosenfel?

[tibbidoe]

For as bad as he's been, I'd think Rex Grossman would be the logical choice. Can start until Griffin is ready, knows the system, not the worst mentor we could put around the rookie.

Hopefully we won't need to think much about the backup for the next 10 years or so.

I would love to get rid of Rex and go with Orton but I don't see it happening

Rex works for me. He knows the system. As a backup, he's fine.

Ditto. The only vets who would be interested in signing here now would be guys who know they aren't starters anymore, and that isn't Orton, imo. I would be fine with Rex. Brady Quinn would be a decent option if Rex won't re-sign.

I would love to see us get a young vet to be the number 3 QB. Max Hall, perhaps.

The guy with the clipboard who never gets his name called, you know, what's his face?

[NattyBo]

Rex would be great as a backup.

Why not do both? I think it makes sense to have a veteran and 2 rookies. Rex and RGIII can battle it out in camp for the starting spot (which will be RGIII's by the end of the year), and draft a 6/7 round QB to be the clipboard holder. Most teams carry 3 QBs, there's no reason we can't. And there's no reason to have 2 vets.

RGIII should back up RGIII.

good idea, how do i edit the poll to add that option

[skinsfan4life7]

Re-Sign Grossman to be the backup. Cut Beck and Crompton. Draft a project QB in the 5th round or later to groom to be the future backup (or maybe insurance if RG3 doesn't pan out).
