We need to draft 2 QBs

[Riggo-toni]

Yes I know we need OL and FS help in the worst way, but...
We would be wise to pick up a developmental prospect in the draft this year. The Packers drafted Flynn the same year as Rodgers even though they had Favre. We drafted Frerotte the same year as Shuler, and he turned out to be a better QB from the get-go. Griffin has great character and athletic ability, but noone can definitively know if he will be durable, provided he is successful. Ron Mexico has been great on the field despite being a worthless scumbag off it, but he seldom lasts an entire season.

This year will be a transition/learning year. Even after Cam Newton's exploits, the Panthers didn't go far this year with a rookie sensation QB. If there's a late round prospect with excellent potential to be had on the 2nd day of the draft, we should jump on it. Remember the Skins once had 3 SB QBs on the roster at the same time - Williams, Rypien, and Humphries.

Beck is toast - not worthy of an NFL roster spot. Grossman is an aging backup and a turnover machine. He can hold the #2 spot for another year or two. Look at what happened to the Texans this year.

This team needs a lot of things...so much that I doubt a backup QB is a priority right now.

Good call.

Cousins makes sense and I like this pick if only to get rid of Beck.

I'm all for bring in a vet, but drafting another QB? nah.

We made it through 2011 with two QBs. I say bring back Rex to backup RG3.

The point was Rex would be the backup for the next 2 years. It takes QBs at least a year or more to adjust, unlike OL who can become a force within a game or 2. Drafting our 3rd stringer this year means he will be ready to step up to #2 by 2014. Having only 2 QBs nearly bit us in the tuckus when Rex got the flu. The Rams drafted Bulger when they had Warner, the Pats drafted Cassel when they had Brady...and carried 4 QBs on the roster in 2000 to keep Brady whom they drafted despite having a #1 overall pick and former SB QB Bledsoe.

You have to bring in someone else to back up rg3 for the future because rex has proven that he can't get it done. Rex is on a one year lease for tutoring and then will be cut after this season. If anything cousins will bring the skins some value should a another team want to trade for him.

I dunno. 3 rookie QB's? I think you need an experienced QB on the roster to mentor a little. I don't know if Rex is the guy...do you really want him offering advice? "Hey, here is how I would do it." NOOOOO!

Duh! Wait, I guess reading is fundamental. You meant two total and keep Grossman. Sorry, still in FA thread reading mode.

Yates was a great late pickup by the Texans, good example. Who could we get in the later rounds? I saw the top 5 listed last night on the ticker with Cousins being the 5th. I imagine we would want to use one of our 6th round picks to bring in a QB to compete.

Not bad

Beck is still under contract unfortunately and Rex is without one at this point. I'd personally like to see Beck gone and Rex re-signed. I also don't think we should use a draft pick on a QB because I'd rather us sign an undrafted UFA.

Beck will be cut as soon as we re-sign Grossman or some other vet backup.

I hope so. I forget Orton is still out there too.

We have a developmental guy on the practice squad, no need to waste another pick one this year.

Crompton is terrible, honestly. I see no harm in using a pick on Wilson or Moore in the late rounds. Development is important, and, as previously stated, if RG3 goes down, we're screwed anyway. We may as well use this season to develop a top-tier backup.

[zoony]

I definitely agree. I would love to see us take a mid round pick and use it on a prospect

We have no first round pick until 2015 and a $90 gazillion dollar rookie. Now is not the time to be taking mid-round fliers. I also hate the idea of "developing" two rookies at the same time.

Maybe you sign an UDFA rookie QB and bring him in. Otherwise, go with Grossman and - I don't know - a hyper religious born again Christian type for the third string job. I'm sure there's a few of them floating around the league.
