Assessing the trade market for RG III

[Rambitious1]

I'd give up a 2nd.

 

[Memento]

I'd definitely give up a third if that was all it took. RG3 still has a ton of talent with his arm and legs, he's a good member in the community, and to compare him to Vick is just insulting; Vick never had the accuracy that RG3 has. And if there's anyone who can coach him up, it has to be Fisher.

The only problem I see are the injuries, but the upside to this is worth it. And I'd love to read Redskins forums after RG3 becomes a franchise quarterback for our team.

 

[Mackeyser]

Nothing. He doesn't take responsibility. Ask most starters and even if the receiver went the wrong way, the QB will take the hit with the press and speak to how he needs to "make better throws".

Not RG3. He finds a way to throw his own players under the bus so as not to have to take any blame.

Sorry, but you can't lead if you can't shoulder any burden beyond your own.

My final offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the contract transfer, which I would appreciate if you, Snyder, would put up personally.

No doubt he has issues but I look at how much Bradford's mechanics, pocket presence, and pocket movement improved since Cignetti and Schotty took over and I think it's worth the risk. Yes, both him and Bradford are injury risks...but Mariota or whatever QB we drafted could turn out that way too.

We aren't going to get as talented of a QB in the 2nd. There's no doubting RGIII's arm strength, athleticism, and his accuracy when he's mechanically sound. The guy just has a lot of things to clean up. But I think it's worth the risk. I also think he'd be really dangerous in our offense.

You have some points.

Dear Lord I hope we don't draft Marriotta.
That might test my patients as a Rams fan.

Yeah Mac I think there are several of the guys team mates who feel that same way and the reason Cousins has any success is not accruing so much to his talent as it is the rest of the team will play their hearts out for him,and beyond RG they have some talent.
But back to the trade subject and IF Cousins keeps playing at this level , ardunno I think he'll come back to earth and Washington will be faced with two undesirable alternatives.

 

[Mackeyser]

Well, I dunno. I really liked Cousins coming out... So, I wouldn't short Cousins just yet. I always thought that if there were a straight up QB competition that Cousins might have won it.

That said, I think RG3 has tremendous talents and not just with his legs. That said, he's got to get his head and heart right. He HAD them right, seemingly, coming out of Baylor where those guys seemed to want to run through a wall for him. So, I dunno what happened. I know that RG3 certainly "manned up" when it came to playing because he certainly should NOT have come back so quickly and played on that bad leg. Watching him just made me sick. And to this day, I still think that if someone from the NFL didn't have crap all to say about the state of the FedEx field, then something was wrong because guys got injured that game. Not just RG3, either.

I think, ultimately, he'll need a change of scenery. And that's too bad for Washington fans because they gave a boatload of picks for a guy they thought would be their Franchise QB and the Rams may have been able to establish a solid foundation from that bounty. Whereas Washington... they are missing those picks right now and... well, they're using Cousins whom they got in the 3rd round and could have been grooming all along...

 

[Thordaddy]

Well we won't have long to wait and see ,it's Philly v Redskins this week

 

[Rams and Gators]

I'd trade one of our back ups for him, Greg Robinson maybe?

 

[DaveFan'51]

In 'Wall Street' they might 'Pull this Stock' from the trading floor, because the bottom has fallen out of it! The Stock is Now "Worthless!"

 

[HometownBoy]

I definitely wouldn't give up a third or a second, and I doubt any team would unless they're a team desperate. Mallet only garnered a 7th rounder, and there's no question on if he could stay healthy or not to do what was necessary of him. Wasting high picks on injury prone, high risk players is the type of shit the Al Davis Raiders do.

Mallett also has shown nothing but poor play in the NFL and wasn't a #2 overall pick. Kevin Kolb got a 2nd and DRC. Alex Smith got two 2nds. RGIII will get a 2nd at minimum. Too many teams desperate for a QB.

I'll stick with Sam and draft an O lineman in the first, thank you!

During the pre season there were some people claiming Cousins looked better............so there is an undercurrent present and if he plays well for the next couple of weeks it could get ugly in WASH.

 

[LazyWinker]

I don't think he's worth more than a 5th. I say a 5th because, he's not going to be of much use this year. He's more so an investment for 2015.

 

[Dieter the Brock]

I'd give an 8th round pick in '15 draft if he can pass a raiders physical

I'd double the offer. An 8th in 2015 and an 8th in 2016. I am feeling incredibly generous though

 

[Akrasian]

Does that add up to a 16th rounder?

 

[LazyWinker]

Does that add up to a 16th rounder?

Even better than 2 8ths.

I'd give them a used Q-tip, A big Gulp-a Pak of slim jims and burger from 7-11
