Redskins Nation is a house divided when it comes to how to solve the quarterback question.
Last night, I posted this quick story on how it appears that NFL executives are starting to think that the Redskins will trade up in the draft to try to land a quarterback, probably Robert Griffin III.
Within moments of putting the link to the article up on Twitter, I received the following responses from @Redskins19and0 and @NattyBo:
So, who are you with? 19and0’s “please no”? Or NattyBo’s “Fingers crossed”?
Let us know in the comments!
Im with NattyBo it is time to do anything and everything to get a franchise QB. And I think RG3 is the guy the Redskins havent had a Franchise QB in over 20 years the time is now. I understand people don't want to trade draft picks but QB is the most important position in sports and just because you have draft picks doesn't mean that if you use them all the player you pick works out. I think RG3 and Luck are can't miss QB's.

Absolutely for trading up. RG3 is a hard worker, responsible person with great character, high intelligence, and has great talent with a big-time arm. If we're not going to bet on this QB, and the ability of Kyle and Mike Shanahan to get RG3 to be a great quarterback, what quarterback out there are we going to bet on? Flynn, a one-game wonder? Peyton Manning, who the Colts are letting go, and has run a completely different system for the last 15 years? (When did we do that last, oh yeah, McNabb-if Shanny gets Peyton and he doesn't work out, due to system-change or injury, then Mike's history) It's time to grow some talent in-house, and if we don't bet on RG3, then who are we going to bet on, and if not now, then when?
