We traded 4 picks to get 1 pick from the Rams... 4-1=3... Then we used that pick we got from the Rams to draft RG3 3+1=4... Still simple math, You just need to make sure you add up all the steps and not leave one out. How do you explain us drafting RG3 using a 12' first, 12' second, 13' first, and 14' first (and that is, was, and always will be what we paid to get RG3) and count those 4 draft picks and claim it adds up to 3 draft picks while throwing out statements like... Simple math. 1+1+1+1=3 uh... I dont think so.

You talked about 1 pick being RG3... Exactly, the pick that was used to get him counts as a pick used to get him, seems self explanatory to me. Every player that has ever been drafted has cost at least one draft pick, regardless of the round used to get them. You dont draft a player in the 5th round and then claim you used 0 draft picks to draft him. You used 1 pick, a 5th rounder.

If using the 12' first we got from the Rams doesnt count as being used, then we still have a 12' first rounder (#2 overall) available to use. Because by your logic, we never used it to draft RG3.

Because we swapped first rounders, there is no loss of pick there.

The fact we used those picks, to get the ram's pick, that we used to get robert griffin does not change the cost.

Our 4 picks = the ram's pick we wanted = rg3. Our cost was 4 picks.

Period.

.

No, our cost was 3 picks because we will not reap the benifits of those picks. If I give you 4 dollars but you give me one back did it really cost me 4 dollars ? In your world yes, but in my world I only spent 3.

We only gave up 3 becuase we just swapped picks...I guess this is where you would have added PERIOD ?

Dude honestly it can't get any worse than we've done

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the move to get RGIII, but I'm hoping it is ultimately a better move by the FO than Garçon. Just due to the sheer cost to get him.

It's frustrating to hear, by now this shouldn't be repeated so much. Nothing against the man/woman who posted it but it kills me how often you hear it and read it.

'12 1st + '12 2nd + '13 1st + '14 1st in exchange for '12 1st

4 picks for 1

4 - 1 = 3

I loved the pace of the Panther's practice.
In the short time they were on Cam threw a ton of passes.
Very, quick pace with a high volume of passes thrown in a short time.

yes MJ was the best player in nba history, Cam is obviously not even close to that level, and LBJ isn't close to MJ.

lol did you just compare LeBron James (NBA Champion) and Cam Newton (Best Rookie QB in NFL history) to Tony 'Da' Mandrich?

You're a true hater.
