Wonder how this will play into our situation? And is there a snowball's chance in hell that Berry lasts until us at #5?

Shanahan planning to take a quarterback at No. 4?
Posted by Michael David Smith on February 9, 2010 3:01 PM ET

As Mike Shanahan re-builds the Washington Redskins, his single biggest decision will come on April 22, when he decides what to do with the fourth pick in the 2010 NFL draft.

A report out today suggests that Shanahan is likely to take a quarterback.

Jason Reid of the Washington Post, citing an unnamed league source familiar with Shanahan's thinking, reports that Shanahan is eager to draft and develop a young quarterback.

If Shanahan is planning to take a quarterback, the most likely pick would be Sam Bradford of Oklahoma, who is generally regarded as the best of the bunch -- provided his injured shoulder has healed. Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen would also be an option.

Of course, given that some draft experts don't believe any quarterbacks in this year's class are worthy of a Top 10 pick, Shanahan might want to keep Jason Campbell around and skip the quarterbacks in the first round.

That's the key decision for Shanahan in what's sure to be a busy off-season.

I wouldn't go that far.

7.1 yards per attempt, 15th in the league.

.2 of a yard less than Kurt Warner.

Shit, he was 15th in passer rating this year, had a 64.5 completion percentage and had a 1.33:1 TD:INT ratio.

All while playing for a shitty team, with a shitty OL and 27th ranked running game.

Now, will they keep him? Doubtful.

He turned Griese and Plummer into decent QB's.

We've all watched him though right? That stat is very misleading because the guy just isn't very good, he somehow has better numbers than how he's ever looked.

And I think some people are going to wonder in disbelief because at this point I don't think Clausen is going to go nearly as high as some are expecting.

This is Washington's start over point, they need to sell tickets and they aren't going to sell Jason Campbell to that fan base any longer.

I thought he looked pretty decent in the few games I watched this year. He's definitely progressing, but slowly.

Then again, the guy has had a different OC and scheme every year of his career.

The kid has more physical tools than Bradford, IMO.

Maybe he does but we're starting to see teams not value that as much, Matt Ryan doesn't have elite physical tools either and that is already who the NFL is comparing Bradford with.

Considering they have a STH waiting list right now, I don't think they're concerned.

And Shanahan isn't going (nor should any other HC or GM) to make a decision like this based on the ****ing fans.

I just don't see any way they run Campbell back out there, they were ready to move on from him last year and he did nothing to change their minds on that front.

New regime, there's no telling.

Nothing would shock me.

If Bradford or Classen goes in front of us and there is only one left when we are on the clock, we will trade down regardless of who is available (other than Suh). Two or three teams could have interest in jumping in front of Seatle to get a QB.

I don't think this post makes much of any sense.

Bullshit.

I'd love to know why the Chiefs would be taking Suh or why anyone would have to trade ahead of Seattle for a QB.
