RG3

[gftChris]

No - we wouldn't have had a first round pick to use on Sammy Watkins this year.

Once again it proves foolish to trade away draft picks for one player.

Foolish indeed.

So thankful we didn't end up with RGIII.

RG3 is a bum. He is too dumb to figure out how to slide properly. He'll get hurt again if they stick with him for the rest of the season.

We dodged a bullet. Recall our FO at the time was in the running to get him.

Well, the bullet didn't miss us completely. We got winged in the shoulder with the Richardson pick, but that wound hasn't fully healed yet...

It's almost healed tho.

At least we got a first rounder for him. The scar could be far worse.

That first rounder could turn out to be RG4, or Steve Young II. Here's hoping...

Right. I agree with you...but the wound is there yet. Let's hope that scar heals up nicely. Either that or have some plastic surgery done. Lol.

i remember plenty of people on here screaming that we didn't make the call to trade whatever was necessary to get rg3.

but yes that draft had me stoopdified as to how we drafted, especially our first 2 picks. weeden instead of decastro still pisses me off.

Yeah I can recall hearing the Steelers were shocked he was still on the board when their turn came up. Curse the Walrus.

Of course I don't hate the Redskins nearly as badly as the Cowboys or the Eagles.

Washington is imploding and it's fun to watch lol

It is more fun to see both the Redskins and Cowboys implode. What a phony rivalry. Other than playing cowboys and Indians what is it based on? The fact that Jerry Jones is greedy and didn't want to be placed in his rightful division? The NFCW

That read was almost painful... almost...

Nah... just the wrong player.

[bbedward]

I'd be surprised if they carry out the rg3 experiment past this year. Nothing but a fragile diva.

Why do you hate the fucking Eagles? (are you talking about the band....or the football team?)

The Walrus did something right...

Pissed off STL badly enough that they would not trade with us although ours was supposedly the better deal.

And then he traded up for TR...

Those two are equivalent?

RG4 - second coming of RG3. Steve Young - it's before my time, but I'm led to believe he was quite good?

Oh stop it, you sound silly. Best rivalry in football. NFC Beast should never be touched. Oh and Cowboys belong on Thanksgiving and will always be Americas Team.

Hardly the best rivalry in football. Bears/Packers is the best. Browns/Steelers was better....and would/could be again.

When the Rams were in LA that was a better rivalry.

Jets/Pats would be better if the Jets were ever any good.

Redskins/Ravens would be better if they were placed in the same division......same with Cowboys/Texans. Jets/Giants. Raiders/49ers. Bucs/Dolphins. Bengals/Browns would be a good one if the two teams could be good at the same time for a sustained period.

The NFL it seems actually discourages natural geographic rivalries. I guess they prefer the phony ones like the one you are trying to prop up.

I'm glad we didn't end up with RG3... BUT, Holmgren was so flustered about NOT making that deal remember who he drafted that year??

We can't act like we won anything that year...

Redskins wasted 3 1st rounders

Browns wasted 2
