Seems to me we'd reached the point where we couldn't put off the QB thing any longer. Given that, I'm fine with doing whatever we had to do to get the best (or one of the best) available. Comparing this trade to others is hard because of the unique needs, competing interests, and talent available. Yes, it's a high price. But if you are starving, you pay a lot more for food than you do when you're full. That's life.

I am excited for RGIII, and I'm going to stop (or not start) with the "that pick of the skins turned into PLAYER X, the greatest player ever!" Hindsight is 20/20. They needed a QB and got the best they could--should they have gone with a bargain and a prayer here? Haven't we done that for years?

Now let's go get some protection and some weapons for our new leader! And once again, Skins win the offseason! Let's hope this one works out.
