Redskins 'Sell Their Soul' for RGIII

"Two first rounders... to swap first round picks" if you're worried about semantics.

I do not think RG3 will be in the slightest comparable to Newton. He is a downgrade. Cam can change the position by running the ball passing.

Take Eli Manning for example. If the Giants were told he would give them two rings they would trade 4 first round picks for him, I would. It takes more than one year to build a championship team and it starts with a big name QB. Luckily we have :cam: who can lead the Panthers to one someday.

All I'm saying is that the Panthers are lucky to have Cam and I would give away a draft class for Cam if that was necessary to get him. He brings something to the table four guys alone cannot.

I didn't like the idea of drafting Cam in the least when it became obvious we were going to do it. Let's face it, there is no way that

daddy' was shopping 'Jr' around to everyone 1) without Jr having any idea, and 2) finally settling on the 1 school who supposedly refused to offer any money. Sorry, don't buy it. That being said, I finally accepted the fact that Cam wasn't doing what a LOT of college players have been doing and are doing for quite a while. Take Clemson's Tight End, for example. He was asked if he planned to leave Clemson for the draft after their humiliating Bowl loss. he told the reporter there was no reason for him to leave - he had access to more resources AND MORE MONEY than he could possibly need there at Clemson and planned to return next fall. All that being said...

I was also worried about the 1st words coming out of Newton's mouth regarding the NFL was that he wanted to be an 'icon'...not help the team win....win a championship, etc...he wanted to be an 'icon'. I was VERY pleasantly surprised and glad to see his work ethic, his attitude, and the way he has performed. As I said, Carolina got him for NOTHING....good for us. We didn't have to 'sell our soul' for this #1 ranked QB, who is still a statistical gamble but who shows great promise. I am glad, however, that we have Sam as our QB!

Washington is taking a big gamble by trading so much to get RGIII. They pretty much have to because they 'blow'. It will take them, and Carolina with Cam, to build into a championship calibre team. I know Carolina can do it and without having to have 'bet the farm'. If we don't get there, it will have cost us far less than it will have the Redskins if they fall flat with RGIII.

What does Cam have to do with this to you? Cam Newton is nothing like RG3 outside of being athletic.

You were concerned about Cam because of off the field issues? Ok, RG3 has none. Totally the opposite in fact...

Luck is being hyped... but so is RG3. Both are likely to be great pros.

If you think this guy is the future of your franchise, he may be worth 2 first rounders.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
