Do You Unequivocally Believe RG3 Is Our Franchise QB?

Those same people would be crying bloody murder if we hadn't made the trade to draft him. They would be remembering last year and all the potential they saw in RG3 and they would be making more negative noise then they are now. If he would have had a difficult 2nd year on whatever other team drafted him, they would attribute it to being on a bad team, or normal sophomore struggles, or missing an all-important offseason, or some other legitimate reason. But no, since he's on our team, he's immediately a bust and not worth the price.

I agree with 30gut. With good coaching and more experience, he will be an elite quarterback.

Great point.

If we hadn't have made the trade right now we'd likely be the Cleveland Browns. We would have 3 other players and still likely be looking for our long term solution at QB.

The same Cleveland Browns that have one more win than us?

And also not going to the playoffs, still with no long term QB solution.

RG3 can win a superbowl.

polombus looked bad last week but last night was worse. im sure the FO would have upgraded RT if they had available money but i do blame them for settling for a cost-effective but underwhelming interior OL.

Very well said.....
Needed to be said.....

I have no doubt that with the right grooming Griffin could be one of the best QBs in the league.

Yes. I mean it's not like he's Heath Shuler.

Is putting Cousins in going to make our special teams better, or our defense? IF so.. Than i'm all for it.

Teams don't even kick the ball out of the endzone now because they KNOW we can't run it back past the 20.

Maybe Cousins can play.....interior line?

Cousins is codename for Baugh. Just play him in any position.

I've had the (dis)pleasure of watching all these fine specimens play QB for the Washington Redskins. There is only one elite QB on this entire list... and his name is RG3. And it's not even close.

Is RG a sure thing? Of course not. But how 'bout we give the kid some time to heal and learn? He's 23 years old for christ sake.

We've waited 27 years for this kid. Patience gentlemen...patience.

Well said and rightfully so. To be a straight up bust at RG's talent level, laziness and lack of character has to be part of the equation. There's nothing about RG that indicates either. He needs pass protection, another downfield target or two and pro level coaching on the sidelines.

Snyder and BA need to get their butts in gear tho. Time's a wastin
