Hilarious post. So true

Maybe I am crazy but I don't think this is a bad trade IF you are convinced that RG3 is the next coming.

A somewhat washed up mediocrity like Carson Palmer commanded two first round picks. Look at what the bears traded for cutler.

I am of the opinion that QB is the most important position on the field by far and if you see "the guy" you do whatever it takes to get him. If RG3 IS what they think, it ends up a steal. If not, they should blame the talent evaluator and not the negotiator.

I think RG is the real deal.

RG3 is nothing more than a media cumshot right now.

Blaine Gabbert looked like a pretty good passer running the spread offense against Taco Tech in the Big 12 conference. He was supposed to be more "pro ready" than RG3.

Going into the 2010 season ... these were the only Big 12 QB's to throw for over 1k yards in the NFL...

Vince Young, Texas 6,843
Sage Rosenfels, Iowa St.4,156
Seneca Wallace, Iowa St.3,547
Chris Simms, Texas 3,117
Koy Detmer, Colorado 1,944
Josh Freeman, Kansas St.1,855

To this day, the most successful NFL QB from the Big 12 is Vince Young. Vince Young was also a Heisman winner. Not to mention a National Champion winning QB who was evaluted higher coming into the draft than RG3.

I would not trade 3 high 1st round picks and a high 2nd rounder just to move up 4 spots so I can draft the next Vince Young.

After letting it sink in for a couple days, I think this may go down as one of the worst trades ever in the NFL.

Complete panic after Peyton said no thanks. RG III may be the next coming, but nobody knows that.

Carolina has to be laughing their asses off right now. They suffered through one horrible season and used their No 1 pick on a QB that has panned out. Redskins are risking three No 1's and a No 2 on a guy that may or may not pan out. If Newton flopped, Carolina would have had another No 1 this year and gotten one of the top two in this year's draft. If RG III flops, the Redskins are scrambling and overpaying free agents to fill the void left by the four draft picks lost.

Snyder is a double agent for the Giants.

it's not rape if you go along willingly.

we were going out saturday and i grabbed a 'skins shirt. then i stuffed it back in the drawer. didn't want anyone to see me in it and feel sympathy.

RG3 is going to be a great pro. If this trade lands them a franchise QB for the next 10-12 years, then the compensation was worth it. RG3 throws a fantastic deep ball, and in this offense I think it's a terrific fit. The next step will be signing a deep threat, perhaps a Vincent Jackson. Is it a bit of a risk yes, hell the kid could slip on a banna peel tomorrow, and your screwed! But I do not see this guy as a Heathbar Shuler, I think he's going to be a great player is the league for years to come. We had to address the QB position in a strong way, after years of average to below average play!

Sam Bradford would be on the list if it were through 2012

Carson Palmer wasnt traded for 2 1st round picks. He was traded for a 1st rounder and a conditional 1st rounder that is almost assuredly going to be a 2nd rounder instead (The Raiders only give the the 2nd 1st round pick if they go to the AFC Championship game next year). Plus if the Raiders do somehow make the AFC championship the pick wont be better than the 28th selection. The Redskins picks are likely to be much higher selections.

Is RG3 really that much better than other options that they can sacrifice 3 or more likely starters (on rookie contracts and under club control for years) in the coming years? Doubtful.

Pure insanity...plain and simple. How else do you explain it? If there is some sort of "method to the madness", it's lost on me. This kid has maybe a 25% chance of being serviceable, and about 0% chance of being some sort of Tom Brady/Farve/Fill in the blank. And you've dug a hole for at least 5-6 years because when he busts or God forbid suffers a career threatening injury (Sorry, but these things HAVE TO be discussed when making a decision like this), you've got no 1st rd. picks to rebuild for 4 years.

Ole' Danny Boy.... just when you think he can't possibly screw up a team any further, he continues to shock and awe.

They are being very aggressive at the WR position for sure. Pierre, possibly Josh Morgan and they may not be done yet!

[Cannon Shell]

Garcon and Morgan arent exactly Rice and Taylor
