This was the RG3 trade. Washington was sitting in the #6 overall spot. They gave up three firsts and a second. Yikes.

Damn I forgot about that.  And they took cousins in the same draft lol.  If Fields keeps doing what he is doing then he is probably worth it.  Some of the balls that ESPN showed on their highlights (I didnt watch the game) where jaw dropping.  His throwing motion is so slick and smooth

 

Here is a link to highlights.  The last td pass is jaw dropping.  Zero effort in making that throw.  damn he is good

If you think you're getting a generational QB it is. But if you swing and miss... well, we've seen what the WFT has been since.

That trade isnt why they suck.  It didnt really even set them back quite honestly

When you give up three #1s and a #2 for a guy who ultimately doesn't work out, it played a huge role in your setback. That's a ton of potential talent on your roster just gone.

Accurate. But also, RG3 was playing amazing football, got hurt and then instead of protecting their asset in him, they ran him back out there before he was ready to come back. That’s a stupid decision on your investment and there are times where you need to protect the player from themselves. Washington mismanaged it’s best players health. On top of dealing picks for him they also used one of the few picks they had left on another QB in the very same draft. Just a stupid organization.

That’s the thing. Tepper is in it for the long haul. So he can wait on it with Rhule bd company.

well i completely take back my kyle trask is brandon weeden comment.  trask looks damn good.  

He looks old school.  Just sits in the pocket and slings it.  Not really mobile at least in the 2ish games I watched from him.  Will be interesting to see how he plays with an average/below average line.  His group he has now look like maulers

If I'm Trey Lance, I would be raging right now.

Lawrence and Fields are solidifying their rank and now guys like Trask and Wilson are making a case for 3rd ranked QB while Lance can only watch and train for the Combine with only tape from one mediocre game in 2020.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
