I could see the hype pushing him but he's got a lot of holes for a first rounder.

i wouldn't mind signing orton as a backup

los panda · 02-17-2012, 01:27 PM

orton/rg3. manning is done

option 2

BigHairedAristocrat · 02-17-2012, 02:12 PM

Option 2 is actually worth considering if all we had to give up to get RGIII (in addition to our #6 overall) were a 1st or 2nd. However, i dont think thats remotely realistic. Moving up would likely cost much more, so i'll take option 1.

Option 2 would not do too much to help us now, and we'd be putting way too much (in terms of draft picks) into one player, that, while has loads of upside, is way too much of a risk.

Option 1 (assuming mannings healthy) would allow us to win now, add additional players, while giving our QB of the future time to develop. Its the best of both worlds. Win now and later.

I agree, option 1 gives the team the best of both worlds.

a veteran qb who can no longer play, a rookie qb, and an extra 2nd or 3rd in this years draft? what worlds are these?

It is a tough call because you see just how good Peyton was under center for the Colts, How much better he made them. I mean that was the same team he commands to a 10 - 11 win season, that with out him won 2 games?? That is the instant impact he has IF HEALTHY. IF HEALTHY he gives us 3 years of service, and grooming someone to come in behind him (cousins, Tennihill)

HOWEVER, I just can't see us passing on the option of getting RGIII. He is a stud. Better passer than Cam Newton, and runs faster. Not as big, but tremendous athlete. I would absolutely love to finally have our own double threat QB in DC. Problem is, the Rams have to be willing to take what we have to in order to move up to get him.

So, if moving up isn't a possibility, then Peyton it is, draft Cousins 2nd or 3rd round and let him learn behind one of the best QB's to ever play the game.

Orton and trade up to get RG3 and lose a 1st/2nd

I'll take the RGIII package.

SmootSmack · 02-17-2012, 04:08 PM

Well remember in my scenario I'm talking RT plus picks vs RG3 minus picks. I think that, to me at least, closes the gap

Thats the kicker for me too.

Id rather have placeholder like orton+RT+picks longterm versus RG3 minus picks (and realistically, speaking minus orakpo too, based on the trade scenarios you through a few weeks ago)

skinsfaninok · 02-17-2012, 04:09 PM

I'd take the Manning deal with RT

NYCskinfan82 · 02-17-2012, 04:40 PM

I'm for trying to get Bradford from St. Lou but I don't think that's going to happen & I know Indy isn't giviing up the 1st pick but if your going to trade up why not try to get Luck, what about a 2012 1st & 2nd, 2013 1st & 3rd 2014 1st & 4th? would you do it. NOW that's all in get the QB you reallly want IMO.

CRedskinsRule · 02-17-2012, 04:59 PM

I am really hopping on to the RGIII bandwagon hard, both after hearing his interview on Sirius a few weeks back, and the Halsell interview that Matty posted. I don't know that we will get him, and worry about his style of play leading to injuries. But right now I would be ecstatic if we moved up to the 3rd spot and picked him up.

I don't think anyone is giving up 6 picks for Luck. The most I'd give for Luck is:

2012 1st rd.
2013 1st rd.
2014 2nd rd.

If you don't want it whatever
