Greg Robinson?

Don't forget, it took Larry Allen a year to start hitting his stride. But once he got over the mental part of the game, those physical attributes took over and the rest was a HoF history.

Not to heap too much pressure onto GR79, but you have to admit the comparison has merit.
I agree, if he was playing G.
G is where Robinson should be in my opinion. What I really was saying was a dominating G and C.

Athletically, I think GRob has everything he needs to be a stellar LOT. He just needs to get the mental part of the game down, and he seemed to make some progress on that last year. Going into this year, having a season under his belt and only having to focus on one position, I think he will be even better. By the end of the 2015 season, I think LOT is not going to be an area of concern.

Gonna have to say the Walker trade was by far the bigger fleece. The Rams haven't used the picks they acquired nearly as well as Dallas did.
Walker was at least productive in Minn and had a long career. RG3 had one lucky season in Washington and now
Didn't San Diego trade a bunch of 1st round picks to move up and draft Ryan Leaf?
No they already had the 2nd overall pick.

RG3 is the biggest piece of trash I've ever seen. I'd even rather have Tebow. If I were Washington, I'd cut him immediately.

Just for bonus fun in that division I'd like to see the Eagles or Boys land him and make something out of him.

Correct. After Leaf refused to play in Indy, the Chargers got a crack at him. The Colts went with that other guy, , , Peyton Manning instead.

If Leaf had performed to expectations, Michael Vick might never have found his way to Atlanta. Drew Brees never would have flourished in San Diego, perhaps diminishing his chances of landing a long-term deal in New Orleans. The New York Giants might have been unable to swing a draft-day trade with San Diego -- or anyone else -- for franchise quarterback Eli Manning. Philip Rivers certainly wouldn't be lining up under center in San Diego.

If we could get a first for Bradford, I think the Skins could easily get a first for RG3 and then get the new shiny RG3 clone without an ego at 5.

Doesn't seem like a bad route to take.

Getting rid of a backup QB at best and an arrogant asshole along with it. Idk I just hate the guy.

I agree.
I think Robinson is gifted enough to athletically play anywhere....I just think his best fit is at G...however, the bigger need is always LT.

That and I don't think anyone but DJax really even likes him on that team.



Maybe, but I'll bet Mariota has a better head on his shoulders and much more of a willingness to adapt to w/e system utilizes his talents the best without creating sideshows ala RG-Me.
Well RGIII was known to have a great head on his shoulders in 2012. You just never know.

I still think the Herschel Walker trade gets top honors for biggest fleece, but RGIII is right up there. One of those picks was Emmitt Smith. who history will tell you beats the h3ll out of Walker.

20 plus years later Herschel Walker could kick Emmitt Smith's butt in an octagon. Hershel Walker is still in insane physical condition. I don't think there is a sport he hasn't attempted.

Think callig him trash is a bit too much, but the dude does have an ego. He's been overhyped from the get-go and maybe that got to his head.

Maitota is nobody's, right now, problem solver. He's going to take some time. Everyone is starting to jump into the panic, we might take a QB, BECAUSE WE WANT MORE PICKS MODE.

They traded with Arizona to flip spots, think it cost 2 1st rounders
