Just saw that myself and I could see it happening, we would be able to keep all our picks and be aggressive in free agency so I could see it working if he's healthy. Its not my favorite option but if the guy regains his arm strength then we'll be better, we have the draft picks and cap room to improve the OL and WR corp to help him out.

The fact is that you are going to have to sign him without knowing if his arm strength will ever come back. This is just crazy. Snyder must be channeling through you guys. It will be like rewinding a decade. It will be a circus show at redskins park surrounding one player, not the TEAM we need to build. That is not the environment we need to move forward with.

Let the dolphins have him.

They went 10-6 in 2010. I would kill to have a 10-6 season here and win the division.

If they decide that signing Peyton is all they have to do to fix the offense and keep piling draft picks into the defense, the effect will be muted. Even with Peyton, the skins still need 2 WRs(a burner and a big flanker), a TE to replace Davis or Cooley, two OGs, 2 OTs(if they dump Cheech) and an OC to replace Monty if he walks.

Id like Blackmon at 6 and Weeden in the 2nd if we do sign Peyton, still I'd think he'd prefer the Dolphins but who knows.

That's an oversimplification and if you think it's that cut and dry then there's not much else to discuss.



If this team feels it necessary to go after a FA QB (Flynn, Manning, Orton) then Peyton is the easy answer. Perhaps they do so feeling that they can get a mid-round guy (Foles/Cousings/Osweiler/Wilson)that will emerge after some time sitting behind him, and if that's how it shakes out then I'm hopeful they get it right. Typically mid-round QB's don't pan out so this course statistically would result in a short term rental of Peyton without a real answer at QB.



I don't believe in nonsense like curses affecting teams. Numerous factors play into a successful team building process and high quality players emerging and I do think that this staff/system can produce that. If they feel so lacking in their ability to find a QB and instead have to fall back on a broken/breaking down legend (to some degree for the second time) then that speaks volumes.



Ideally, but this team has a lot of needs. I'm not 100% against Peyton because it would allow them to fix a lot of other holes, whereas a trade up would not, but I'd prefer they try to fix the massive problem at QB with a lasting answer. I just don't think Peyton's health will make him long for whatever team he chooses, if he's even able to get back on the field. I also don't know why he'd want to come to the Redskins when there are other teams much closer to a real run that he could go to.



Orton sucks, is marginally better than Rex and offers little more than some good optional comedy about his neck beard.

Like I said it isnt my favorite option but neither would parting with multiple 1sts and 2nds. I was kinda on the Flynn bandwagon and for keeping the picks, slightly over RGIII but Im not sure what the plan is anymore lol.

I have a feeling that the skins could drop down to 15 and still get Blackmon at the end of the day. There's been a lot of chatter about how the scouts don't think that much of him.
