RGIII to D.C. Part I: History

I want this guy. As long as the cost isn’t too redick. I’d draw the line at 3 first rounders personally. 2 firsts and a few other random picks, sounds good to me. But anyway I think this guy would energize the fan base like no one we have ever had before. I know, winning energizes more than anything, and I think griffin can do that here.

Look, last year was the first year since norve turner that I did not go to ANY GAMES. I watched them all, but I even turned down free tickets a couple of times because I just had better things to do than watch grossman throw picks.

If we get RGIII I will be there opening day to cheer him on. I just think this franchise could really use that right now. Our offense, team and fanbase would embrace this guy like no one else. We are so qb starved its not even funny. I admit though I am fixated on this one prospect and have blinders on now. I don’t know how it happened…but it did!

anyway, looking forward to the rest o’this.

RGIII looks like the real deal, as does Andrew Luck: Historically: QB’s selected 1 and 2 in the draft have not fared well.

i also look forward to drafting RG3 and i also look forward to seeing griffin being the second black qb to win a superbowl for us :D

The Denver Broncos

you are missing out on a GREAT blackboard conversation. This shows how smart he is.

I can’t wait….

Gentlemen, this is my first time posting in 2 years. Been back and forth on deployments to Iraq and Afghan. I just want to say I’ve been reading all comments though and I had to start a new signature since I wasn’t able to find my old one. I’ve been a die hard fan since 1982. I’m a warrant officer and I’m now station in Ft. Hood, TX for the the second time and just bought my home there. RG3 is all we talk about there. I’m currently in school in VA, but my wife and teenage kids are waiting on me to get home. To give good info on RG3’s family background. RG3’s parents go to a church I used to frequent. If you didn’t know, his Dad is a retired after 20 years.They are so down to earth it’s unreal. Down in Texas, his dad and the rest of us refer to him as Robert. I never thought he’d blow up like this from the media because he did his thing here at Copperas Cove high school and it didn’t seem like a big deal. Texas high school football is so huge and full of many great football players, he kind of just blended in. I’m bias, but I love his military upbringing. I was on the fence about giving up picks, because I love what direction Shanny has taken us as far as draft picks. But I’ve seen us never go after a legit PROSPECT since I’ve been a fan. Heath Shuler was not that good in my opinion coming out of college. Jason Campbell? Please don’t get me started! No real opportunity has ever come where we’ve been high enough in the draft to try and get a potential franchise QB. Yes, it’s scary giving up picks from this year and next, but not when you’ve been trading up for mediocre QBs since I’ve been a fan. Diesel44, please post your opinions more because I always seem to agree with most things you post and your funny as heck. Kevin, Ken, Parks, keep up the hard work. I know I’ll see RG3 a lot at home during the summer so I hope we make the jump and go get Robert. It would be nice to feel like we have a chance in every game, no matter who we play. My old stubborn hog days are over. No QB, no chance these days in the NFL. By the way, I ran into Rocky McIntosh at the movie theater in Killeen too. His family still lives there.

It just makes sense on so many levels to obtain the services of Mr. Griffin.

See how excited people on here get when we just have a post on the kid………………..imagine the excitement that will surround this team if we somehow were to draft him!

He did mix up some of the terminology and potentially some of the protection, but if you watch the video it’s clear he is able to retain information very quickly. (That was for you, UK).

Haha cheers. I didn’t mean to put a downer on it, was only saying…

imagine what some coaching will do.

This is our moment. We have waited for 20 years, my friends. Prepare yourselves to experience what many fans of other organizations have had, what we had back in the 80’s and now will have again…

I’d totally do weird things with him.

It takes two teams to make a deal, so we might not get him.

If we end up with Tannehill, I’ll have to live with it.

1. Trade up for RG- At least 2 1st’s and a 2nd, possibly an additional 3/4
2. Draft Tannehill at #6- won’t be there at #39 and you can’t risk trading back.
3. Draft Weedon at #39

My preference would be scenario 1 followed by 3. If we draft Tannehill at #6, I will burn Ashburn to the ground Milton Adams style from The office.

The Browns don’t want to let go of the number 22 pick.

I have a bad feeling that if we don’t get Robert, we’ll end up taking Tannehill at 6. It’s not a good idea to force him there like the Vikings did Ponder last year. Crazy. You have to maximize that high of a draft pick if possible. You better believe Tannehill will be gone if we trade out though. Everyone that doesn’t have a QB is forcing them now. Money is no longer an issue to do so high in the draft.

Because he said he’d like the team to have a lot of weapons and fellow rookies when he gets into the league?

I love my draft picks. But I’m making an exception. I will be sad if we can’t move up to get him..My gut tells me he’s going to be a HOF. Ill eat crow if he’s terrible.

I see people over on Turf Show Times saying they’d like Helu thrown in the deal. I like Helu, but I’d gladly see him thrown in if it put the Skins over the top for RGIII.
