Yesterday’s NFL Thoughts But I Am Not Getting Sucked Backed In To The Redskins

  1. The question is not Manning or Brady? It is Jason Campbell or Kyle Orton?
  2. Besides Wayne, Manning's best receivers are a former walk-on at Iowa and a Division III player (even though Mount Union is as close as Division III comes to big-time college football).
  3. A Division III player was getting a pretty big push on Football Night In America.
  4. Besides Moss, Brady's receivers aren't much better than Manning's.
  5. Again the question is not Manning or Brady, it is Campbell or Orton? And the answer goes something like if you put the right guys around a mediocre NFL quarterback, you might win one championship but you're not getting a hundred wins in a decade.
  6. I would be satisfied with one championship.

Unless there's a major front office change and you get an early first round QB the Redskins are going to be basement dwellers for a long, long time. Kyle Orton isn't getting a championship anytime soon, even with the magic that's happening in Denver. Jason Campbell will be lucky to be a backup somewhere after this season.

Of course, the Redskins could get a "franchise QB" like Jay Cutler and watch him flameout spectacularly.

I agree completely. The Jay Cutler thing is what scares the hell out of me. It shows that it isn't just the quarterback. As bad as the Colts' and Patriots' receivers' pedigrees are, they are coached well and have specific talents that Manning and Brady and Belicheck and Mora can exploit. 90% of other teams can't get the right front office and coaching to do this.
