Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

[quote=skinsfan69;1140276]Yeah I don't understand the "don't sign w/ a NFC East team" talk. Who cares. He's a bad NFL QB, that increases our chances of winning if he's under center instead of Tony Romo or Bradford. Give me a break.[/quote]

Exactly, he is not a player to be feared.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I would rather he not sign with a NFC East team. Not b/c he is to be feared, he's not. Rather, b/c my 2012 memories are really great (the sideline sprint against Minnesota, the two games against Dallas, the amazing almost come-back against NYG), I wish him well and hope he finds success. I got no hate for him.

If he goes to an NFC East team, however, I will hope only for his failure and defeat and that would make me a little sad.

But at the end of the day we are Redskins fans not RG-3 fans. Nobody can ever take 2012 away.
Edit: imo he will probably never start an NFL game again anyway so none of this matters.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

The 2012 season (most of it) was a lot of fun but he was a huge waste of time and resources.
I blame Shanahan and the rest of the FO about 60% on the whole deal.
The rest is on Griffin.
I'd rather he went 2nd string on some AFC team so I dont have to hear his name anymore.

In retrospect sure, but at that point in time we absolutely had to make that deal imo. Were you against the trade at the time?
Edit: judging by your post you were obviously against it. Dumb question. Better question: during the 2012 season did you think it was the rite move?

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I didnt like the trade at first but I became convinced Griffin was the Messiah so I was for it.
After that famous vs Vikings 75 yard touch down run I had forgotten all about the picks we gave up.
Now I would never ever ever ever give up an additional first rounder for any pick.
That was a major setback for us.

Agreed. I say bring him on, he's never going to be that guy from 2012 again.

Yeah Id be really really hesitant to ever give up so much again.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

Cousins plus three early first rounders sounds really sweet rite now. So does paying attention in school and having a good job. not making that wrong turn in Albuquerque. God the list goes on and on.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

ESPN's Ed Werder suggested on SportsCenter Tuesday that the 49ers are free agent Robert Griffin III's best bet as a landing spot.

Werder said he anticipates Chip Kelly having "interest" in Griffin, "depending on what happens with Colin Kaepernick." The 49ers' intentions with Kaepernick are unclear, but he has requested a trade out of San Francisco. Werder also passed along word from at least one NFL coach that believes Griffin is "done," but who does expect him to get signed "based on what he did in 2012."

We really need a poll in this thread.

Yep. I remember your good ol' pal Metalskins mentioning how I felt it made sense for Griffin to be in San Fran, although I was hoping for some weird three team trade deal.
