POLL: How Should the Redskins Handle the Quarterback Position in 2011?

Donovan McNabb should remain
the Redskins starting QB in 2011

The Washington Redskins are going into their second year under the regime of General Manager Bruce Allen and head coach Mike Shanahan and, while I knew that the team had gone through a lot of signal callers over the years, I have never stopped to count. I was surprised to find the number was so high. Dan Daly ofThe Washington Times pointed out in an article today that the Redskins have had 17 quarterbacks in the last 17 years. His question, therefore, pertaining to this-coming season of "will 18 be the lucky number?" is a relevant one. Personally, I'd like the number to stay at 17 because this would mean that Donovan McNabb would remain the team's quarter back. But...

17 quarterbacks in 17 years. Wow.

McNabb hardly got a fair shake last season. After Shanahan said over and over that learning a new system is like learning a new language, the head coach and son/offensive coordinator Kyle gave McNabb less than one season to learn this new "language."

Backup quarterback Rex Grossman called the signals in the last games of the season and third string quarterback John Beck is still under contract. With the 10th pick in the draft, there have been mock drafts and predictions of any number of college players that Allen and Shanahan could pick, some of which have been quarterbacks and some of which have been offensive/defensive linemen and/or wide receivers.

Obviously, only those on the inside know what this team is going to do about the most important position on the field, whether it's through the draft or, if/when it hopefully arrives, free agency.

There are many different opinions out there. I'd like to know what YOU think should happen at the Washington Redskins quarterback position in 2011.
