BECK ftw
I don't know about FTW but maybe FAI (For an improvement:r)
He did drive down and rush for a touchdown, something they couldn't seem to do the whole game.
I would have loved to see him get a chance to make a final 2 minute drive!

Yeah, FTW might not have been the best choice...but at least Rex is gone. That game was painful to watch.

Glad I didn't watch this or else I'd be minus a TV!

Being a Redskins fan has its downs and it downs.
What do you guys think we need besides a quarterback?
Our O-line seemed to be doing well, before injuries sidelined a starter or two.
We don't have any solid #1 receivers, Moss is just to small.
I really like Fred Davis as a TE, he is a beast.
Orakpo and Kerrigan are a great pair going forward.
Torain and Helu are gonna make a good pair of backs to IMO.
Any other thoughts?

Yah I have bills, should prolly start paying them.
What a peculiar question to ask in this thread Mac.

Our O-line seemed to be doing well, before injuries sidelined a starter or two. I agree, the problem has been depth on the O-line but I suppose ya gotta start somewhere
We don't have any solid #1 receivers, Moss is just to small. Yep
I really like Fred Davis as a TE, he is a beast. Agreed, wish Cooley was healthy for a 2 TE set
Orakpo and Kerrigan are a great pair going forward. Agreed
Torain and Helu are gonna make a good pair of backs to IMO. I'm horribly disappointed that we only had Hightower for a few games--I've liked him since college, I think his running style suits what Shenanigans is trying to do with the offense. I'm not sold on Torain--he's a big, physical back, but that requires a stronger line which is a problem for us at the moment. I think Helu has promise.
Any other thoughts?

Man what a dissapointing season this is turning into, come on draft pick!
Is it possible that Grossman was wrong about his prediction?:r
I couldn't watch the game yesterday but from what I gathered it sounds we where doing a good job running the ball in the first half and almost abandoned that in the second?
I see Grossman had like 49 pass attempts????!!!!
And out D gave up 21 points in the 4th?!?!
Grossman fumbled inside the 10 and threw another Grosspick?!
Redskins have thrown 19 interceptions and our apponents average 8 this season! We are negative 13 in turnovers.
Roy Helu has impressed me greatly this season.
What are we gonna do when London FLetcher retires? He is always solid and our leading tackle!
I am thinking the Kerrigan/Orakpo combo is one to really build upon, this could develop into something truly great!
And what is going on with DHall, clearly not playing with the passion of last year!
So, what QB's are out there for the 5th-10th pick you think the Skins might snag?

I am hoping they can some how trade up, but who knows.
I don't follow college to know what looks good other than luck.
I would love to get Luck somehow and try to build around him, but that is a pipe dream. We will prolly trade our first three draft picks for a 45 year old QB who was pretty sharp 15 years ago. Oh maybe they will bring Brunell back for another try?!:td:r
Honestly I just hope we can somehow get a decent young QB, somebody that can stay with us for a few years. Alot of people don't like Shannihan either, I think Kyle has some learning to do, and made some game losing calls, but his dad is pretty knoweldgeable. I do not want to see anymore choaching changes for a while.

It was great to get that win over the Giants on Sunday. I love seeing Eli struggle, he is such a spoiled brat.
The one decent game they had and I missed it!!!

Here we go....
Redskins trade their first and second round pick this year and their first round picks for the next two years to St. Louis for the number 2 pick this year to get RGIII. Rumors are they will still try to get Peyton too.

Thats nuts!! No offense, but all those picks for one guy...hope he can turn your franchise around!! Its a long shot but I guess the Redskins have always been about the long shots...always investing a ton of money in one guy that never pans out.
Good luck Redskins....hope it works out for you!! (not to much though...being that I am an E..A..G..L..E..S!!! fan)

That's pretty obscene, especially when you consider they aren't getting the best QB in the draft.

I think it's a great move on Dan Snyder's part. The first sensible one he's made yet.
This leaves $$$ intact, and if he LISTENS to someone who knows football, the Redskins have a shot.
Those odds are real slim, considering he's possibly the biggest asshole on the planet. Maybe he can put together a couple extra bucks by suing Redskins fans again? :lr

Not really a fair statement, seeing as how Luck at the very least is the best quarterback prospect since Carson Palmer. RGIII in any other draft goes #1. As a prospect, he's Michael Vick with a good head on his shoulders.:2
Well, when you consider that the Raiders gave up a first and second round pick (which could turn into a first) for a busted up guy that was sitting at home doing nothing, it sounds about right.:D
Rumor has it that Cleveland was offering three first round picks, but refused to pitch in their second rounder from this year. At the end of the day, if RGIII turns into Football Jesus, that'll just be another kick in the family jewels for the Cleveland fanbase.

I find the new Nike jerseys super boring.
I wish they had gone with these. I love the helmet and the rest is just so different I think it would be a nice change of pace but I would change the main color to more of a burgundy.

This one would have been cool too in a less extreme way:

I agree, they each have a completely different style and are from different conferences. You can't really say one is better than the other because there is no real good way to compare them.
In the 2011 season
Luck had 3,500 passing yards for 37 Td's and 10 Int's.
150 rushing yards and 2 Td's.
RG3 had 4,300 passing yards for 37 Td's and 6 Int's.
700 rushing yards and 10 Td's
Depends all on how you look at it. I personally would want RG3 over Luck myself because he's a pretty decent passer and he has that ability to scramble and make a big play out of it.:2
I think it will be a great addition to the skins.

The thing is, that was in College. In the NFL the linebackers are faster than the QB 99.9% of the time. Plus RGIII is a pretty small dude.
My prediction : RGIII is going to get destroyed pretty quick.
Luck is going to get into an offense, maybe take a year to get used to it and dominate within the next 3 years.
If RGIII was big and buff like Cam Newton, he would be good...

I am pretty excited to see RGIII come on board and show us what he can do. Win or Fail it is exciting for us Skins fans to have a little hope. It is the right move, I believe we will never have a chance to be a serious contender if we do not have a good young franchise QB. We will have to wait and see if RGIII is that guy!
RG III, IMHO, has a much higher ceiling than Luck. I'd pick him first.
However......his coming to DC makes me sad for him. Won't be until his fourth season or so, once he gets out of here, that he becomes huge. Nothing about the system, OL, WR's, or running game here would make me the least bit excited, if I were him. I love the guy, but that great attitude is going to be tested, that's for certain.

I don't agree. Faster defense or not, to at least have some ability to scramble is better than none.
Since we compared RG3 to Vick earlier, lets do it again.
Michael Vick- Height: 6' Weight: 210 Lb's 40 time: 4.33
Robert Griffin- Height: 6' 2" Weight: 223 Lb's 40 time: 4.41
Like the man or hate him, Vick has done pretty damn good in the NFL. Vick has shredded many defenses with his ability to run the ball. Seems to me RG3 is bigger than Vick and he has good speed too.
Also want to throw in there that RG3 had a faster 40 time than all but one running back at the combine this year. In fact, He had the 13th best 40 time amongst all the guys at the combine this year.
I don't think his size or athletic ability (speed) are an issue.:2
