All things RG3

One scout tells long-time NFL writer Len Pasquerelli that the Browns aren't sold on Baylor's Robert Griffin III as worthy of the No. 4 pick in the draft.

Skepticism is advised. The same scout acknowledges the Browns are far from sold on Colt McCoy as well. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has suggested the Browns would have to "turn their offense upside down" for RGIII, as he's only operated out of the shotgun and was never required to read defenses at Baylor. If that criticism sounds familiar, it's the same question Cam Newton faced leading up to the draft last year. We suspect RGIII's talent will be too enticing for the Browns to pass up -- if they get the chance.

Washington will have to give up alot of picks and/or throw in a player(s) to move up to get the #2 pick.  If Cleveland wants RGIII, they would have an inside track because they have 2 #1 draft pics this year and Cleveland can use them to build their team.   Skins have alot of holes to fill so draft picks are important.  Going to be interesting when Peyton is released.....will the Skins try to get him like reports state?  If Peyton does sign and healthy.....watch out NFL because Peyton will have a chip on his shoulder and want to prove to Irsay and the Colts that he is still one of the top QB's in the league.  This would be an ideal choice only if he is healthy and the Skins draft a QB later in the draft to potentially become his succesor.  I don't get why alot of people are high on QB Ryan Tannehill from Texas A&M?  Have you watched him play against good teams?  He looked awful and made alot of bad reads/decisions.  Oh yeah....I do not want to see Rex Grossman or John Beck in a Redskin uniform next year!       

A lot of Kyle Orton talk lately. isn't he the guy that Rex Grossman beat out in Chicago? Just saying.....

I'm getting off the Ryan Tannehill bandwagon and getting on the Nick Foles one.  Tannehill is starting to remind me of Blaine Gabbert.  Nick Foles reminds me a lot of Ben Roethisberger.

According to the Washington Post, the Redskins "aren't believed to have much interest" in free agent Matt Flynn.

Chris Russell of ESPN 980 Washington reported in mid-January that the Redskins were "very interested" in Flynn, so there are conflicting reports. The Post mentions free agent Kyle Orton as a potentially more cost-effective target, though he wouldn't solve the Redskins' long-term franchise quarterback need.

This gives insight into the direction they might be going in.

A person with knowledge of the situation tells the Washington Post that the Redskins "would have interest" in Peyton Manning should he become available this offseason.

"You’d be crazy not to want Peyton Manning if he was healthy," said one league official. "Nobody knows now if he’s going to be cleared to play. And if he is cleared to play, wouldn’t the Colts either want him, or [pick up his option] and then try to trade him?" As Mike Chappell of the Indy Star recently pointed out, however, the Colts would take a large, lengthy, prorated salary cap hit if they picked up the bonus and tried to trade Manning. Expect the Redskins to show interest if Manning is released over the next five weeks.

No way we get Manning, I can totally just see him and Mike and Kyle just butting heads over the offense.  Manning needs to be in an offense where he has the freedom to change the plays at the line of scrimmage, our coaches are so stuck in their ways it just wouldn't work out imo.

i was never on the Tannehill bandwagon. i dont mind Foles, but i still rather have RG3, i feel if we get Foles, then we should sign Manning and also draft Corp.

Yeah Grossman beat out Orton, but that was then and this is now.  Orton's numbers have been impressive and is better than he was back then, remember those were his first couple years in the pros.  I'm not saying Klye should be our #1 target here, but if he is the best option left I am ok with that(as long as a young QB is drafted to groom).  Tannenhill may need alot of grooming, remember he wasn't a QB for most of his college career, still kind of raw, even for a rookie.

No Rex Grossman was drafted 8th and due to a hip injury his senior year at Purdue kyle orton was drafted in the 4th round (joe gibbs we should have drafted orton)

once they had a few years in the league and the job was no longer handed to rex, kyle orton beat him out

thats why orton went in the deal to the Broncos and grossman rode the pine in houston
