Looks like another QB draft bust this one more costly considering all the high draft picks the 'Skins gave up to move up to draft RGIII. It is pretty obvious he can't do the basics required to be a NFL QB. The only options I see is either to install the Baylor Offense knowing RGIII will eventually get hurt or cut him after this season is over.

Scrambling QBs often have short, glorious careers.

You can have short-term success being that kind of QB, but eventually the League will figure you out.

The NFL is a passing QB’s league— Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees..., the next QB to enter the ranks of the elite will be Luck not any of the running QB’s who came into the league 3 or 4 years ago....

Cam Newton’s not doing too badly.

Seemed like a good guy until he started hanging around with Obola.

Let's see more of Colt McCoy.

If they had a good offensive line and receivers, he’d be fine. But their owner suffers from I-want-to-be-like-Jerry-Jones syndrome.

I’m always amused when I see a statement so silly by its grandiosity, e.g. that someone I’ve never heard of before seeing this thread could have been thought to “change American governance.”

RG3 seems like a nice kid. I hope he eventually can play as a good NFL quarterback some day.

I’d like to see some stats on injuries of running QB’s versus pocket QB’s. It seems to me that most injuries to BOTH types of quarterback happen when they are sacked IN THE POCKET.

As soon as you trade away your future to get a player that player is doomed. It’s a 53 man roster, nobody in the league can succeed on their own, a QB needs a line to protect him, receivers to catch the ball, and a defense to make it so you don’t need 50 points to win a game. It’s amazing how regularly bad teams burn multiple picks on one player and then stay bad teams. Meanwhile the teams they traded those multiple picks to tend to stay in the hunt year after year.

Why does everybody call him "RG3"?

I get where the initials derive from but calling him that makes him sound like a particular model of car or something.

RG3 played here at Baylor.

He had well known knee issues even when he was here.

I still can't believe an NFL team took him knowing that. It is well known here that he HAD to take the offer and go to the NFL when he did or he wouldn't be able to later.

oh well, nice pay day for him :) feel sorry for whoever owns the Redskins though.
