Required Offseason Plan for Sucess!

my wants rd is for us to get RG3 somehow, someway, then get a WR, dont care who. i perfer Steve Smith, but i doubt we get the former Giant. we should also look at the current Giants cornerbacks as someone we should sign. i thinking either Ross or Thomas, i doubt we get both, so i say go with the one likely to be let go and that's Thomas who's coming off an injury filled season and if they re-sign Thomas, get Ross. sign another corner, one that's a 3rd corner. sign Michael Griffin who i like, add depth to the o-line, mainly guards, get some guards. sign two linebackers and re-sign Fletcher and if they do all that in free agency and draft RG3, i will be happy. i think RG3 is a great QB for us, depending on the WR we get (doubt we get Bowe, dont want V-Jax), they would be a good addition to the team, i still think we could look at DeSean Jackson.

We HAVE to get RGIII, I really don't see any other option for us at this point.  As long as we keep plugging in these stop gap guys at QB like we always do we will continue to be the same ol Redskins. 

We are way under the salary cap so we have plenty of money to spend on a few key FA signings, I'd like to see us get Ben Grubbs from the Ravens and move Lichtensteiger to Center and keep Monty around for depth.  I think we re-sign Jammal Brown to a 1 year prove it deal and let Willie Smith compete with him at RT, I'd still add a T/G thru the draft.  Sign maybe Michael Griffin like you said and possibly another corner and ILB thru FA. 

But for me the most important key to this offseason is drafting Griffin, we have plenty of money to spend and should still have some draft picks remaining to land some guys who can contribute in their first year.  L

I think you look at how many guys we drafted that played in last years Senior Bowl as an indicator as to who we may draft this year.  Chris Rainey and Juron Criner were arguably the 2 best offensive skill players in the Senior Bowl and neither are projected to go before the 3rd round, so I think we very well could add either of those guys.

Its just a hunch, but I see Peyton Manning wearing a Skins uniform and playing against his little brother twice a year, the ratings would go through the roof!

I don't the the Redskins draft RGIII even if Peyton doesn't sign with Washington.

Unless Snyder overrules his coach, which is always a possiblity.

The only good thing that would come out of us signing Peyton Manning would be that we could basically let Kyle Shanahan go since Manning usually calls his own plays from behind center.  Aside from that Manning coming here would be a pretty stupid move.

?

Are you that sold that Griffin will be a franchise passer or that Manning can't produce anymore?

It would instantly put the Redskins in the mix in a weakened NFC East and give them the opportunity to draft a developmental QB later in this draft or in next years and not take the risk of drafting a QB that has just as much potential to be a bust as he does a stud.

Barring a significant injury I believe that Griffin will be a franchise player yes.  He is better than all of the QB's that came out last year and Dalton took a crappy Bengals team to the playoffs in his first year, and I believe with the addition of 1 more good WR Griffin can do the same for us as Dalton did for the Bengals.

When it comes to Manning I just see him and our coaches butting heads.  Manning has always called his own plays in the huddle and is pretty much another coach and the Shanahan's have already shown that it's their way or the highway.  I just don't believe that Manning would fit in well with what we are doing here.  He'd be better off elsewhere.  Plus he's one sack away from having to retire and I'm just not cool with giving him all that money with him coming off a serious injury.

Now I understand where you're coming from, I happen to disagree but you could very well be right about RGIII.

The butting heads thing I don't see but the injury thing is most definitely a concern.

I happen to think that with the potential ground game that the Skins will bring next season it could be an ideal situation for Manning, the run would protect him and give him manageable third downs that he has been able to excell at throughout his career.

The defense is solid and would only improve with on offense that doesn't go three and out.

One more thing that I think makes this a possible is the way Snyder likes to throw around the dough in free agency.

I just look at how they handled a veteran like McNabb and tried to change every aspect of his game when they really didn't need to.  I could just see Mike and Kyle wanting to alter Manning's style to their offense and Manning just being like F off and things not working out, far fetched I know but I just don't think it's the right direction for us to go in our current state.  I think Manning is 36 and if his neck is fully heeled he still probably has only 4 years max left in the tank where as if you draft Griffin he could be your guy for the next 15 years.

i agree rds. as much as i like Flynn too, i think RG3's got much more potential.

i cant agree with that hunch. i just dont see Peyton wanting to play his brother twice and giving his family that drama twice in one year.
I don't the the Redskins draft RGIII even if Peyton doesn't sign with Washington.
i think the Redskins draft him if he falls to them, i mean, why would you pass????? RG3 has so much potential, you cant just watch him pass by you if he falls, now do i see him here, no, my thinking is Manning's a Dolphin and Flynn comes here, but i rather Flynn go to Cleveland and for us to get RG3.

If we're lucky, Manning goes to the Dolphins and we get Flynn.

If the Dolphins get Manning, and we don't get Flynn, than we'll have to hope that he goes to the Browns. Because then it probably means RGIII will drop to us. Who else is going to try to trade up for him? That way we don't have to give up a bunch of picks to move up for him.

The problem we have, and it's something they'll have to contend with, is if they don't make a try for Flynn or Orton, thinking they'll get RGIII then the draft gets here and either the Browns take him or trade up for him, or another team moves ahead of us and takes him and we're left holding the bag.

We could see us sucking hind tit without any decent QB's left in FA or the draft. We'd have to try to take the best one available in the 2nd and that might not be a great idea. The only way we should take a QB in the 2nd, is if we have an established NFL QB in the starting spot. And no, I sure as hell don't mean Grossman. He better be gone and never come back to this team.

BTW I agree with the idea about Manning and the Shanny's not getting along. Hell Manning wouldn't even let the Colts use an early pick on a QB. I can very easily see him and Kyle Shanahan butting heads on play calling. Manning is probably smarter when it comes to that then Kyle and then Kyle would be running to Daddy crying because the QB won't do what he says to do. Even though Kyle sucks at it. lol

We have a little over a month until FA. So there will be lots of speculation about all of this. Lets all of us hope and pray that whatever decision they make, it helps this team win some games. :)

If the Dolphins get Manning, and we don't get Flynn, than we'll have to hope that he goes to the Browns. 
THIS is my hope too!! my hope is that the Browns sign him to compete with Colt McCoy for the QB job, then i hope that the Dolphins sign Manning and that we take RG3, though, i wouldnt be shocked if we get Flynn or if we trade up earlier than expected and then the Browns get Flynn.
