Wow. How does anyone have enough time or sanity to do that? Glad that's not happening here.

The choice wasn’t surprising because the Washington Redskins needed whatNate Sudfeld gives them: A Young quarterback worth developing. That’s not to say they have old quarterbacks on the roster -- Kirk Cousins is only 27, and in terms of being a starter he’s young. And Colt McCoy is 29.

But the Redskins needed another quarterback in camp. Just to see. And they do like Sudfeld’s potential. That doesn’t mean it will be realized in Washington. Remember, while working for Green Bay from 1994-99, Washington GM Scot McCloughan saw the Packers take players such as Matt Hasselbeck and Aaron Brooks -- all of whom were traded for more picks and became starters elsewhere. The year before McCloughan arrived, the Packers selected Mark Brunell. Maybe that’s how it will go with Sudfeld. Of course, the Packers also selected three other quarterbacks in later rounds who did nothing: Jay Barker, Kyle Wachholtz and Ron McAda.

McCloughan said he was intrigued by Sudfeld’s tape and then scouted him at the East-West All-Star game after the season. He met with Sudfeld at that time -- he was one of a number of quarterbacks Washington met with throughout the draft process. McCloughan and coach Jay Gruden like Sudfeld’s size: He’s 6-foot-6, 234 pounds.

Sudfeld threw for a school-record 7,879 yards in his career. He was a huge reason why the Hoosiers went to a bowl game for the first time in eight years. He completed 60.3 percent of his throws with 61 career touchdowns to 20 interceptions.

"Just the maturity and taking a team that’s kind of average to better -- nothing against Indiana, if anybody went there -- but he made them better," McCloughan said. "Just to see his development and knowing that we have Jay [Gruden], we have Sean [McVay] and we have Matt [Cavanaugh], they’re all three in my opinion really great quarterback coaches. We have got to develop. It’s nothing against Kirk [Cousins] and nothing against Colt [McCoy], but we have to develop young guys at any position. But I feel really positive about those guys."

The emphasis on development is a necessary one. Sudfeld is fortunate to be with two quarterbacks who understand the game well. And the Redskins have coaches at a few positions who are considered good in this area, including Cavanaugh (and, on the offensive line, Bill Callahan). It makes a difference. Too often in the past players weren’t developed -- some coaches believe more in preparation than developing. If the Redskins can develop low-round talent, they will benefit either from their play or from a trade down the road.

And the more they develop, they less they have to rely on free agency when players become too expensive or stop producing. Again, in the past they would create a hole by allowing a player to leave, then sign someone to fill that spot. A team will always have holes, but the better they are at developing talent, the more you minimize those holes by filling them internally.

Perhaps Sudfeld will never be more than a backup -- if Cousins keeps playing well, there’s no need for Sudfeld to be anything more. The Redskins will get their first look at him this weekend when they hold their rookie minicamp.

"I’m excited about him, man. He’s very accurate with the football. He’s made all the throws," Gruden said. "I really like the fact that he has great anticipation in the pocket. He anticipates throws, gets it out [of] his hands. He can speed up his delivery when he has to. And he buys time. He’s very functional in the pocket for a big man as far as buying time in the pocket. I think he has a great upside and we’re excited to have him."

perhaps this is why the chose him in round 6 and perhaps trying out vernon adams as well . draft or sign , develop them , trade them . no need to draft a hogan in round 4 to do that

Well according to Bman he had time since he made lots of money off of stellar betting & due to his prime real estate business in Florida. What a freaking idiot. I forgot about him posting that fake picture of himself (as an early 20s model/actor). He was exposed when someone found out that this was an IMDB type photo of an obscure actor.

 

[gkekoa]

I forgot about that.

Ah, the good ole days. I'll say this for Bman, he kept the boards interesting. Anyone remember what his favorite insult name was?

I believe you are correct.

Yeah, how could one possibly keep up the different IDs / personalities? Maybe the guy did have some split personality disorder.

 

[arbusman1]
