		<description><![CDATA[Everyone is talking about McNabb being done in DC...  I&#039;l believe it when I see it.

If the NFL has a season next year McNabb will be under center for the Redskins.  He is still the best QB in DC, has a contract to play next year in DC, and the Skins just made him better by drafting an excellent receiver.]]></description>

Arizona has never indicated any interest in Kolb, it’s always been media speculation. They’ve been linked to Bulger a lot, and Hasselbeck has been tossed around as well.

---They *should* be interested.  He&#039;d be a good fit.  In fact, he&#039;s basically the #1 talent right now available for trade.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am shocked that none of these teams wanted to take a chance on Ryan Mallett. Of course it&#039;s the Patriots who see something in it and it is very possible that we see another very savvy choice from Belichick and his staff. You talk about getting value. You&#039;re drafting guys like Ponder 12th overall when Mallett has all the physical qualities to be a franchise QB and he doesn&#039;t go until 74th to a team that doesn&#039;t even need a quarterback. Surprising to me.

“Seahawks: Like the Cardinals, they are a complete mess at the position. They don’t have a youngster or a legitimate veteran”

Charlie Whitehurst probably thinks there are no legitimate veteran journalists at PFT.

Is PFT being that off based endzonezombie? Clipboard Jesus has ONE decent game and he is the savior? And Hasselback..I wont even go there]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[purdueman says:
........
That would leave Hasselback sitting on the sidelines waiting for the first starter to go down during the regular season.
-------------------------------------
I&#039;m sure the Titans would love to have Hasselbeck come down to Nashville and play ahead of Locker for a couple of seasons.  

I also believe that the Redskins will probably look into Kyle Orton.  If they believed in John Beck so much, why didn&#039;t he play when they pulled McNabb?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wouldn&#039;t be surprised at all to see Shanahan bring in Vince Young.  He has the athleticism that Shanahan loves in his QBs and his arm is often underated.  I am sure Shanahan will believe as a former QB coach that he will be able to get through to Vince and bring out the best in him, I wouldn&#039;t bet against him succeeding either.

I think McNabb will be in Minnesota or as more of a long shot Arizona.  Both teams can compete now if they bring in a decent QB, McNabb would certainly help either team.

Going by their comments and their history, I don&#039;t think Palmer is going anywhere.  Marvin Lewis was quoted saying they consider Palmer retired and Mike Brown is too stubborn to give in so the ball is in Carson&#039;s court, play for the Bengals or retire.

Orton is likely still available and could probably help some teams out there with QB needs.  He played pretty well the last 2 years in Denver and is an underated passer.  That being said, I don&#039;t think the Broncos are going to get a lot for him, probably and 3rd round pick.

Hasselbeck will be back in Seatle, they need him and I think he likes being there.

I don&#039;t think the Titans make a move for a starter but maybe a veteran back-up instead.  They drafted Locker 8th and I think they will want him to play early.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Re McNabb to the Vikings.  I think it made more sense last year when the Vikes had a west coast offense.  The new OC is putting in something different, assuming the lockout ends in time.  From PFT it seems as though McNabb didn&#039;t work hard enough to pick a Redskins offense that was new to him, or maybe he just couldn&#039;t learn it.  So that doesn&#039;t make him a great fit for the Vikes.  Judging by Frazier drafting Ponder, he&#039;s looking for &quot;intangibles&quot; and McNabb&#039;s a prima donna. 

Nobody is mentioning trading for Orton, but I&#039;m sure the Broncos will get some offers.  I think he&#039;s a better option than all the rest of the qb&#039;s mentioned above for most teams.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting a QB who can&#039;t get the ball downfield to Larry Fitzgerald in Kevin Kolb makes absolutely no sense. Remember: Kolb consistently failed to get the ball downfield to Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson last year. Kolb is not a vertical passer like Eli Manning, and he is not even a west coast guy who can get the ball downfield when it is available like Aaron Rodgers. Instead, he is a spread, dink and dunk QB. He just doesn&#039;t have the arm strength to throw the deep routes (or even some intermediate routes) and he doesn&#039;t have the footwork or mechanics to even make those plays intermittently like Drew Brees and Tom Brady do. 

The Bengals aren&#039;t trading Carson Palmer. A few years ago, they refused to deal Chad Johnson when they could have gotten a 1st and a 3rd for him. Carson Palmer doesn&#039;t have nearly that much value (everyone knows that he has never been the same since his knee and elbow injuries) to add more than a 2nd round pick in a trade, and that isn&#039;t worth enough to the Bengals to change their philosophy, let alone to give a viable QB to a talented team that will compete with them for a playoff spot. Miami is giving Henne another shot, but only out of embarrassment; trying to make their decision to pass up Matt Ryan work out. And like the Cardinals, they don&#039;t need to trade for Kevin Kolb when they have so much invested in vertical WRs. 

In San Fran, Alex Smith needs to just accept what is likely to be his last paycheck. The guy just doesn&#039;t have NFL skills ... he isn&#039;t accurate, doesn&#039;t have the arm strength, and he isn&#039;t nearly as good a scrambler as Urban Meyer&#039;s scheme (and the bad defenses that he played against) made him appear to be at Utah. Everybody knows that Smith got two good coaches fired in San Fran. 

The Titans will probably bring Kerry Collins back. Can&#039;t see anyone else who would step into that bad, bad situation. 

The Vikings&#039; taking Chris Ponder will indeed keep McNabb from going to Minnesota. McNabb doesn&#039;t want a repeat of Philadelphia, where the Rush Limbaugh fans will start chanting for the backup the instant McNabb has a bad game. If the Vikings wanted McNabb, they should have used the #1 pick on a WR, especially since Sidney Rice may not be back. It would have been one thing for the Vikings to take a more developmental prospect like Kaepernik, which would have given McNabb at least a couple of seasons on the basis that a running QB from the WAC conference isn&#039;t ready to be an NFL starter, and the Vikings are built to win now. But if you are going to draft a 3 year starter from a pro-style offense at a major college program at #12, you need to just go ahead and play him. As to where McNabb goes ... who knows. (Buffalo Bills, maybe?) At this point, QBs who could have been available via free agency or trade are the lockouts&#039; big losers.

Redskins will trade for a veteran QB as soon as the lockout is lifted, and my money is on Matt Flynn of LSU, who is perfect for Shanahan&#039;s system.

Dolphins are someone else who are built to win now and should consider trading for McNabb, or getting into the Matt Flynn sweepstates. 

The Seahawks are going to give Charlie Whitehurst at least one shot. And hey, Matt Leinart will be available, and cheap at that. Pete Carroll was able to save Mike Williams&#039; career; maybe he can do the same with Matt Leinart. And hey, as the Saints may release Reggie Bush, why not unite all three guys from that 2003 AP title team!

Speaking of Leinart and USC ... Vince Young is out there. Buffalo was rumored to be one of the teams willing to give up a middle round draft pick for Young. Remember: Chan Gailey&#039;s reputation was made on a similar QB in Kordell Stewart when he was Pittsburgh&#039;s offensive coordinator, and the Bills have an RB similar to Chris Johnson in C.J. Spiller.]]></description>
