This is how it works in the NFL today.
If you want to win, this is what you do.
This really isnt that much different than the Jay Cutler trade.

Cutler was an already proven QB. RG3 isn't.

I really like the guy a lot. He's just what this organization needs. I just think the price was too steep.

Basic economics. Supply was low (there's only 1 RG3). Demand was high (multiple teams wanting to trade up to #2, the Browns specifically). That tells you the price is going to be high. People can compare the Chargers/Giants trade but in reality they do not compare because the Giants were in a one team competition. It's comparing apples to oranges.

What happens if RGIII decides to go to law school and give up on the NFL in a couple of years.

Then your franchise will be in deep doo-doo.
