Who is Brandon Wheeden? And why are people spelling is name like Stewie Griffin pronounces "Cool Whip?"

You know. The guy who beat Andrew Luck from Oklahoma State. I took the h from "is" in your post and put in on Weeden.

Wheat Thins

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
 

[quote=Sonny9TD;886969]Get Brandon Wheeden and fill some other holes would be a just fine by trading down in the 1st for other needs to start. We still need another draft like last year to catch up from Vinny's doings.

Although Clairbourne? a shut down corner at 6 would be OK by me as well. Lots of WR receiver talent in the NFC East that needs to be locked down by a shut down corner and we can get one. But if not trade down and do last years draft again and pick up Wheeden.[/quote]

Agreed. A very good CB AND WR could still be had if they traded back. 3 picks in the first 2 rounds could be WR, QB and CB, not necessarily in that order.

Granted I am a fan of Weeden, but the difference between him and RGIII is like the difference between Phillip Rivers and Jason Campbell.

The net effect of that extra WR and CB you pick up instead of trading up is not likely to exceed that of picking a game changer like Griffin. You would have to pick the next Andre Johnson and Darrell Revis to even start considering it an even trade off.

It's quantity over quality.

Also as I alluded to before Griffin is the very very very rare type of QB that can actually open running lanes for backs. To get the same effect of these running lanes you would have to add a pro bowl level tackle and guard.

People want to talk about RG3s 'injuries in the making' but, no one is questioning Tannehill's foot. He's "a scrambler" too. You know?

Funny I saw a scouting report that said the only thing people are holding against Weeden is his age otherwise he would easily be a 1st round pick because he can make all the throws and has the arm strength for the deep ball.

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
 

Personally RGIII kinda reminds me of JC. Yes RGIII's legs are better but my point is one of the knocks I had on JC is he would not go through all his reads if need be. He'd either try to run and get caught or throw it out of bounds and the latter was his norm at the end with us. RGIII's knock is he looks down his WR and rarely gets past the first read before he takes off running.

It's a clever trap EARTHQUAKE. Think about it, RGIII is getting all the news. Griffin, Griffin, Griffin whatever, you remember RGIII cause it's small, quick and catchy. Just like you remembered "Cool Whip" because it was funny and catchy. Most recent was "Wheat Thins" with the emphasis on the "H" in Wheat.

We are just trying to find a way to make Weeden's name catchy so you guys won't forget him and will have him on your mind over other 2nd tier QB's.

As they say.... if you can't dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with BS. ;)

Provided I didn't watch more than a couple of games of RGIII, but I didn't see any of this.

I watched all of Baylor's games and didn't get that all. That's a terrible comparison.

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
 

redskins have committed to running the ball 8 out of 9 times this season. he's going to be a big part of our wishbone option offense, he better be tough. vicky gets hurt, why wouldn't rg3?

I wouldn't say that but I think it's fair to say that he'll have a season or two within his first 8 seasons where he will miss a fair chunk of time. Which is where drafting a QB late and developing him would finally come into play.

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;887354]People are talking as if RGIII is a walking Torn ACL waiting to happen.[/quote]

Well, he has torn it once (or twice I forget) and he is pretty skinny, with long legs, so he definitely could tear it trying to cut on someone (much like Dennis Dixon a few years ago.)

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
 

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;887354]People are talking as if RGIII is a walking Torn ACL waiting to happen.[/quote]

To be fair.. That's exactly what he his, but he's too talented for it to play a part in drafting him.

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
 

220lbs is soo skinny. Dejuan Blair of the Spurs doesn't have any ACLs. He could tear it falling out of bed and he tore it once.

By that logic everyone in the NFL is a torn ACL waiting to happen.

You can find negatives on anyone. I don't think anyone is denying that he has things to work on... just like any rookie.

It just seems you go out of your way to be critical of RGIII, but I don't see where you're nearly as critical of other players.

How about humoring us for a bit... tell us what you like about RGIII

Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
 

Having torn my acl, he has no greater chance of tearing it again. Look how he bounced back! This is football, almost everyone is at risk of injury, that doesnt even make me think about not taking RG3.
