I live in Northern Virginia deep in Skins country (actually I live about 15 minutes from the Skins training facility.) Anyway I am tired of talking shit with friends about the Rams being better than the Skins. Both have had an awfully rocky last 10 years with the skins having success one year with RG3 but I believe the Rams have and will benefit much greater in the long run from the RG3 trade. i hate the skins and the NFC East for that matter because they for the most part represent everything I hate about football which is overrated and overpaid players complaining and arguing with their overrated teammates and coaches about who deserves the ball most and which owner can be more obnoxiously over involved in their teams business (looking at you Jerry Jones, Dan Snyder) but thanks for the trade Dan... Anyways I'm greatly looking forward to the West playing the East and already am eying front row tickets to the Skins Rams game. any colorful predictions on the East vs West this year??cus its gonna be a bloodbath! Ive already had conversations about betting hundreds of dollars on the game. no im not stupid I just know the Rams love beating on the Skins whenever they get the chance.

Unless RGme is a Peyton Manning/Tom Brady/Drew Brees type QB we definitely trade-raped them! :banana:
Possibly even if that does end up being the case.
We got a LOT out of that trade, particularly with trading down. Brockers and Robinson alone are arguably a fair trade for the pick.

I always like the Skins (1978 to 1999) but when Snyder began to dominate through his billionaire-like status, without any wisdom I began to dislike them and still do. IT is a 'personal' victory every week they lose--especially against the Rams.
Snyder seems to have toned it down the last few years (no big free agents--outside of Garcon)...but he is still a very bad owner.
He treats RG3mi different, and that is bad. I won't be surprised if they win 6-8 this year...JOrdan reed, Garcon, good RB and RGmi are all it takes to win 5-6 games....Haslett is a bottom 5 DC, that is their big downfall.

The NFCE sux, man. All those teams are being built the same way. They're neglecting the defenses to build up their offenses. It's a real crap tank of a mess if you ask me. When defenses even play average against their offenses, they don't have much to hold down their opponent.
The NFCE will feature one playoff team, once again.
We scorched them in that trade. They still suck and will continue to suck largely because of it.

One could argue Tavon Austin became an affordable trade up because of the extra first rounder.
Without the extra first, we probably don't move up for him.
My friend is a Skins fan he keeps bragging about Djax. We might end up going the game together which would be fun, seeing the Rams shit on them.
We are throwing 200 dollars each in for this game, that'll be an extra 200 in my pocket!

I'm sure DJax is going to make RG3 look good. Then again, how long can both egos co-exist?
Yeah I agree but it would be worth it if you didn't have a franchise QB but ONLY if he is able to play at that high of a level of those three. Otherwise i'll take the heap we got anyday and twice on sundays.
Brockers
Jenkins
Ogletree
Robinson
Stacy
That's FIVE sure fire starters for RG3! (Plus others TBD; Bailey, etc.) EDIT: and all 5 have demonstrated probowl potential.
And... That says nothing to the fact RG3 is not a top tier player with a lot of question marks going forward.

I'd of rather stuck to my original plan and come away with Allen and Warford than Austin, but they won't listen to any of my "expert" play evaluations, so I'll pretend it didn't

Only a matter of time until Bailey becomes a starter, assuming that the suspension was a simple mistake, we saw with Dunbar that if you can improve the team you'll get out of Fisher's dog house pretty soon.
Austin
Bailey

If all 3 can make above average contributions we're in a good place at the position.

You're not alone with that opinion.
But my response; wait until the end of this year to solidify your stance. TA's skill set is unlike any other in the league and could be a star.
That's not to say Warford and Allen aren't nice players; but they lack the BOOM potential of TA.
As always, just IMO.
Anything that "Keeps" the Cowboys down works for me!!

yea buddy thats my plan. i plan on having full pockets after the game. But he wants to play the vegas odds.
We could have more than 3. I believe Brockers and Ogletree inevitable real soon. Robinson in the not too distant future. Stacy and Jenkins have a shot too. Stacy maybe this year. Stacy will likely get enough carries if he stays healthy. If he averages 4 YPC he'll get 1200 yards minimum.
