The only thing we should be thinking about drafting are competent OLs and shut-down secondary. Revision after revision we waste first round quarterbacks, Jason Campbell, Patrick Ramsey, and now RG3 and you guys want to draft another one?

I'm sorry but this is just uneducated and reeks of regurgitating media garbage.
If you go back and watch the tape of the last two games against Tampa and San Fran you can see countless examples of where a receiver or TE is running free and open, and the line protecting well enough for a typical QB to find the open man. Griffin looks at the wrong WRs given the defensive alignment he faces, he progresses from option to option too slowly, he drops back too far sometimes, and in others fails to step up when he should. He has no feel for the game, no understanding of Gruden's offense.
When Colt comes in you'll see the offense actually function. He'll put up 250 passing yards and we'll actually move the ball. Now, he'll probably commit some costly turnovers and that will say to you that Colt is capable of running the offense, but he's not a long term answer because of that tendency to make mistakes.
But put a very strong QB in place and you have a chance. QB should absolutely be on the table in the upcoming draft, to say otherwise says you don't understand pro football very well.
Do you have to support him with strong lines? Sure. But look at our cap space next year, we'll have opportunities in free agency. We shouldn't rule out QB if we get a shot at one. We might be picking 2nd for all we know and have a shot at Mariota.
