Redskins get trade raped

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.

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!

Garcon and Morgan arent exactly Rice and Taylor

Hey Snyder....Freeney is avalible too! Colts looking to give him away cheap.

They have Leonard Hankerson returing as well, and just signed Eddie Royal as well. They are building depth and then some at the position. Not sure where the futures of Moss and a couple other guys, but competition is good to have in camp.

Competition is good, over paying for mediocre players is the Redskin way. That's why they have sucked since Snyder and the revolving coaches and GM's took over. Morgan may have upside, Garcon is being greatly overpaid. 8.5 Million per for 5 years. lol Never had more than 70 catches...........never 1000 yds............never more than 6 td's in a year WITH MANNING. $42.5 million hahaha
