Redskins get trade raped

mclem0822 · #1 03-12-2012, 10:34 AM

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!

Griffin is going to be a bust. He isn't half the player of Vince Young.

RG III has a higher IQ in his big toe than Young has in his brain.

That will make a huge difference.

I'll admit that I really have no feel about RG3, but Drugs post about Big 12 QB's is very interesting. I guess we will see in the long run, but they gave up an awful lot and are still many pieces away from being a legit playoff contender.

Oh yeah, and most importantly Snyder still owns the team.

LOL I hear about Snyder. But Math a really feel like he's turned over control of signings to Bruce Allen and Shanahan. I think Snyder was the worst owner in Football for over 10 years lol, but I get the sense past couple years he's backed off. It is a wait and see with RG3, Luck and all these guys as always. But this kid seems to have a ton of talent, good work ethic, and great character so I am optimistic at this point.

if this trade is supposed to be an indication of how good a deal bruce allen can make, then i'm more worried than ever. they overpaid, plain and simple. that's a lot to give up for a guy who has a better chance of being tim tebow or mark sanchez than peyton manning or tom brady.
and i have no faith in shanahan, who went with an OC based on nepotism, not ability.

Yeah but he's already wasted the last 10 plus years, in which they had a winning record once. After all that now you're going to have to endure a 3-5 year rebuilding period?

I agree it took him too damn long to give up control. I am not sure it's going to be that long of a rebuilding process either. A ton of the problem with this team was lack of production at the QB position. Yes they need more pieces, let's see what they do tomorrow as the free agency mayhem begins. They're gonna make a splash at WR i can almost gurantee that. The team has talent they need to resign London, the got excellent production from Kerrigan he'll get better. I would say though if they are not a playoff contender in 2 years then both Shannahan's will be toast! I think they may be a contender by then, I have to be optimistic we all are too damn tired of losing we can agree on that!

Isn't that what the problem is, he's always trying to make a splash? He made a splash with the trade. So are you saying now that he's going to throw a ton of cash and overpay on a target for RG3? How about suring up the offensive line and starting from there.

TO is available and I am sure Snyder could snatch Ochocinco with a few more draft picks.

This trade is an investment in a franchise QB, that's gonna cost in today's market. They have cap room to address other needs as well. Such as WR and OL in terms of the line I think they like some of the guys they are bringing back Will Montgomery, Mo Hurt, you hope Trent Williams gets his head outta the green cloud he's got talent if they stay healthy with Chris Chester I think the line could be productive. Of course we need depth, but they seem pretty high on the guys who are returning. Look we cannot change the past, have they overpaid for players who didn't work out yes, but I think this time they are putting better and younger talent in place. I think they are building a soon to be playoff contender. May take a couple seasons, but I think they are on the right track.
