Hey Redskins! Get This Guy!

I’m a Washington Redskins fan.

There, I said it.

It hasn’t been easy the last two decades or so, with owner Daniel Snyder changing head coaches more often than he changes his underwear. For all the venom that is spewed in the D.C. area about the Redskins owner (much of it deserved, perhaps), you have to admit one thing:

He isn’t afraid to spend money to bring another championship to town. Yes, there is the stupid money he spent on Albert Haynesworth and the ridiculous “contract extension” signed by Donovan McNabb, but at least they can get out of that one. Yes, ol’ Danny Boy is always ready to whip out the checkbook.

For a sport that looks like it may not even have a SEASON this year, I am nonetheless wondering what the ‘Skins plan to do at Quarterback. Rex Grossman?

Not the future. He really hasn’t been anybody’s past, come to think of it.

No, the Redskins need a fresh face, a young and ACCURATE passer.
So, how about this guy: Johnny McEntee, a QB for the UConn Huskies?

Maybe not a football powerhouse, but there’s no doubt this kid can hurl a football—ACCURATELY.

Wow.

Living in New England, I have become a New England Patriots fan—and I’ll root for them in every game (except when they play Washington). No one argues that Tom Brady is a major reason for all those Super Bowl rings. Leadership, hard work and virtually no off-the-field sideshows to distract from the mission.

The Washington Redskins need a player like that: a franchise QB who can lead this team to victory. Just as Tom Brady was largely overlooked-even in college at Michigan, the next NFL superstar quarterback may not come from the Big Ten, the Pac Ten or the SEC.

Maybe the next luminary will be from the Big East.

Hey, Snyder, Shanahan, Allen! Get this guy as soon as he gets out!
