It's a shame we're still uncertain of what our best option is a QB. It's so unclear right now, it even appears likely that J. Fiedler could return as our starter in 2004.....:cry:
First - There was QB M. Brunell. It appears that with the money / draft compensation the Redskins are offering Jacksonville for his services, we're all but out the race. We can't compete in the kind of bidding war that is going on for Brunell right now. Our best chance is for Brunell right now, is either to hope the Jaguars would take a lesser offer in terms of draft compensation, or that Brunell takes himself out of the Redskins running by saying he wont play there.....
Second - There were talks of a trade for QB P. Ramsey. This was only possible if the Redskins decided to sign QB M. Brunell. That would leave Ramsey out in the cold, and could make him demand a trade. The are the front runners to alnd ramsey if this senario falls into place. QB P. Ramsey would be the perfect fit in Miami, and could start immediately....
Third - There's QB D. Henson. He's been out of football for awhile, but form what I've heard, he did a fantastic job in try-outs last week. He will be tough to get IMO based on the numbers of teams interested. I'd like to think we have a better than average chance of landing him. He'd be a fine addition, and could be starting by mid-season IMO....
Fourth - There's the 2004 Draft. The top two QB's will be gone, but there's a good chance we'll be able to draft NC State QB P. Rivers at #20. This kid is going to be special. The only problem is that he wont be starting right away. He'll be forced to back-up for at least half a season decpending on how the team is doing at that time. If we go this route, and drfat him at #20, he'll more than likely be playing behind QB J. Fiedler....
Fifth - There's S. Rosenfels / R. Ray - Neither are known, but that doesn't mean they can't get the job done. Nobody knows how these two will look come Training Camp. If SR looks improved, he may even get a shot to compete for the starting spot. It all depends on what we do, and where we go from here.....
I think the safest senario would be to keep Fiedler {he knows the offense}, and too make sure we draft QB P. Rivers. We can't afford to keep Fiedler, and then miss out on Rivers, that would be devestating to our future at QB.
If I could have it my way, I'd have the Skinz sign Brunell. Then P. Ramsey could demand to be traded to Miami. The chances of this happening are very slim, so I'd stick wiht the safe senario for now.....
YES TO RIVERS!!!:m83:
PHINZ RULE!!!:evil:
