Hail To The Redskins!!

[Mr.Maduro]

Ahem.

[Blak Smyth]

It was great to get that win over the Giants on Sunday. I love seeing Eli struggle, he is such a spoiled brat.

[Bax]

The one decent game they had and I missed it!!!

[Mr.Maduro]

Here we go....

Redskins trade their first and second round pick this year and their first round picks for the next two years to St. Louis for the number 2 pick this year to get RGIII. Rumors are they will still try to get Peyton too.

Thats nuts!! No offense, but all those picks for one guy...hope he can turn your franchise around!! Its a long shot but I guess the Redskins have always been about the long shots...always investing a ton of money in one guy that never pans out.

Good luck Redskins....hope it works out for you!! (not to much though...being that I am an E..A..G..L..E..S!!! fan)

That's pretty obscene, especially when you consider they aren't getting the best QB in the draft.

[shilala]

I think it's a great move on Dan Snyder's part. The first sensible one he's made yet.
This leaves $$$ intact, and if he LISTENS to someone who knows football, the Redskins have a shot.
Those odds are real slim, considering he's possibly the biggest asshole on the planet. Maybe he can put together a couple extra bucks by suing Redskins fans again?

Not really a fair statement, seeing as how Luck at the very least is the best quarterback prospect since Carson Palmer. RGIII in any other draft goes #1. As a prospect, he's Michael Vick with a good head on his shoulders.

Well, when you consider that the Raiders gave up a first and second round pick (which could turn into a first) for a busted up guy that was sitting at home doing nothing, it sounds about right.

Rumor has it that Cleveland was offering three first round picks, but refused to pitch in their second rounder from this year. At the end of the day, if RGIII turns into Football Jesus, that'll just be another kick in the family jewels for the Cleveland fanbase.

I find the new Nike jerseys super boring.
I wish they had gone with these. I love the helmet and the rest is just so different I think it would be a nice change of pace but I would change the main color to more of a burgundy.



This one would have been cool too in a less extreme way:

I agree, they each have a completely different style and are from different conferences. You can't really say one is better than the other because there is no real good way to compare them.

In the 2011 season

Luck had 3,500 passing yards for 37 Td's and 10 Int's.
150 rushing yards and 2 Td's.

RG3 had 4,300 passing yards for 37 Td's and 6 Int's.
700 rushing yards and 10 Td's

Depends all on how you look at it. I personally would want RG3 over Luck myself because he's a pretty decent passer and he has that ability to scramble and make a big play out of it.

I think it will be a great addition to the skins.

The thing is, that was in College. In the NFL the linebackers are faster than the QB 99.9% of the time. Plus RGIII is a pretty small dude.

My prediction : RGIII is going to get destroyed pretty quick.

Luck is going to get into an offense, maybe take a year to get used to it and dominate within the next 3 years.

If RGIII was big and buff like Cam Newton, he would be good...

[Blak Smyth]

I am pretty excited to see RGIII come on board and show us what he can do. Win or Fail it is exciting for us Skins fans to have a little hope. It is the right move, I believe we will never have a chance to be a serious contender if we do not have a good young franchise QB. We will have to wait and see if RGIII is that guy!

RG III, IMHO, has a much higher ceiling than Luck. I'd pick him first.

However......his coming to DC makes me sad for him. Won't be until his fourth season or so, once he gets out of here, that he becomes huge. Nothing about the system, OL, WR's, or running game here would make me the least bit excited, if I were him. I love the guy, but that great attitude is going to be tested, that's for certain.

I don't agree. Faster defense or not, to at least have some ability to scramble is better than none.

Since we compared RG3 to Vick earlier, lets do it again.

Michael Vick- Height: 6' Weight: 210 Lb's 40 time: 4.33
Robert Griffin- Height: 6' 2" Weight: 223 Lb's 40 time: 4.41


Like the man or hate him, Vick has done pretty damn good in the NFL. Vick has shredded many defenses with his ability to run the ball. Seems to me RG3 is bigger than Vick and he has good speed too.

Also want to throw in there that RG3 had a faster 40 time than all but one running back at the combine this year. In fact, He had the 13th best 40 time amongst all the guys at the combine this year.

I don't think his size or athletic ability (speed) are an issue.

[Mr.Maduro]

Let the reign of RGIII begin!!

[N2 GOLD]

They just had a pretty good half. RGIII was on point the first have. I think they should win by double digits...

[joeobx]

Had to work storm trouble today but got to catch bits and pieces on the radio.....sounded pretty good.

[hotreds]

Great Victory!

Hopefully you are wrong.A bunch of no names stepped up on Sunday and made for some great football.

[Blak Smyth]

Wow what a great game, it was exciting to watch.
I do not agree with some of the play calling in the second half but they managed to hold onto the win and put up way more points than any game from last year!
