Now that right there is funny.

RG3 is the man. He is the franchise QB. He is a top 10 NFL QB. End of story.


Side note, I am SOOO happy now that Matt Barkley did NOT declare for the draft, because who knows what would have happened. Glad we got our guy; aka the right guy.

I thought we had heard some inside rumblings that weren't necessarily public about RGIII being the choice regardless if Barkley came out or not. I see Barkley being as good as the other USC QBs over the last 12 years. Basically serviceable but not good enough to elevate talent around them and compensate for not having a perfect roster.

Sanchez, Liehnert, and Palmer. Not exactly world beaters, and definitely not players I would spend what we did to get them.

I'll say that I, for one, was not as confident with the intel that we were strongly after RG3...but confident that we weren't remotely interested in Barkley.

As an NFL Prospect:

RGIII >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Barkley. Arm strength alone makes this true, he flicks 30 yard darts down the field with ease. Barkley can't do that. I will love M. Shannahan and B. Allen for the rest of my life for having the guts to go up and get RGIII. P.S. Cleveland = good job dumbasses! I feel so bad for Browns fans, they are loyal to a tilt, and constantly get the business.

I remember Tannehill being a guy that you liked and had us tied too correct?

In that scenario though I also think we just would have used the 6th pick to take him with no move up, and definitely not all the way to two. I think that was some of the things we were talking about doing back in Feb prior to the big move in March.

Getting that done in March before FA was something that you don't see on a consistent basis in the NFL, and it also took away two whole months of draft talk about what we were going to do with our number one pick.

I thought Tannehill made sense for us. As I understood it Manning/Cousins was basically scenario 1. Luck 1A. And Tannehill 2. Or something like that. Overestimated the interest in Luck, underestimated RG3.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

From what we have seen out of Tannehill I could see how he could be effective in our offense, but at the same time he would have developed slower with us. Some of his early success I believe is that he is playing in an offense that is similar to his college offense.

Manning would have been interesting here.....

BUT I am totally happy, excited, and all the rest that we got RG III. Knowing what we know now I would have still made the same moves we did a little less than a year ago.

[skinsfaninok]

Kid is the MVP of the NFL period

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Nice game once again MR Griffin.

[MTK]

We can probably chalk up another rookie or offensive player of the week for him.

[skinsfaninok]

It's ridiculous how great this guy already is. I'm literally in shock

[MTK]

22 total TDs vs only 4 INTs

Amazing
