Expectations for the rest of the season...

Plus, even if we pick up the 5th-year option, we can still release Griffin before the new league year begins in March of 2016 and not owe him anything. It's only when the 2016 league year starts that the option salary becomes guaranteed.

Pick up the option and trade him, that's what I suspect will happen. Or work with the other team on an extension and trade him.

Either way, I don't see him staying here in 2015. Unfortunately

A-r-r-r-g-h! Sometimes I just hate this franchise.

I hope the plan isnt colt/kirk for next season. Need to bring in another QB to compete if thats the case.

I have slightly more hope with Kirk/Colt over Rex/Becks...but not much

Unbelievable. We trade a buttload of picks for a guy who can't even make it through his rookie contract.

This is a serious indictment of both player and franchise.

Systematic failure. The only person (who's not the team owner) who's overseen RG this whole time is Bruce. You would think he's getting the stink eye from Snyder these days...

Burns my britches too.
I'd say 80% of this board concurs.

Want even more unbelievable (yet totally believeable)? Since 2000 Chris Samuels is the ONLY first round pick to get a 2nd contract. Including 5 first round picks traded away during that time span, we've used 8 first round picks (trades involving picks from '03, '06 and '12, '13 & '14 plus Ramsey, Campbell and Griffin) in pick or trade at the QB position in that time period.

Orakpo is gone next year as is Griffin. Williams and Kerrigan will probably be extended but the track record in the first round is beyond abysmal. No wonder we are a raging dumpster fire year after year.

that's a sad stat....makes me wonder if we have the right scouting dept./talent evaluation in place.

That's the problem though man. We can't afford to go after a QB right now. We have what appears to be two serviceable QB's on this team. What we don't have is safeties, LB's, pass rush, depth at CB or O line.

I could be wrong, but I think Colt and Kirk are a better option than Rex and Beck. Not by a large margin, but I do think they are better as a whole. I don't see this team making the playoffs next year, so why bother adding another QB? Ride out what we have, make improvements else where and try for a QB in the following offseason, or even in the 2016 offseason.

If anyone else posted this I would say they were crazy.
This makes perfect sense. The only way for the franchise to hit a new low is to trade RG3 to a team like Arizona where he can get proper coaching and learn for a year or two before taking over and leading them to a Super Bowl.

It will be a rebirth similar to what Steve Young had in SF after leaving TB.

So who is ballsy enough to try to coach him up?
Sean Payton maybe?

RG3 would struggle in Arians offense. Doubt he'd trade for him.

[skinsfan69]

I'd have no problem moving forward with McCoy, KC and bring in another guy to compete. Both have shown they can move the offense under this system.

[Chico23231]

rg3 will garner a ton of interest. a ton. but im sure bruce will get out-GM'ed and let him go for a 4th. Which is crazy because we held on to Kirk for a second, but wont do the same for RG3.

Makes zero sense. None.

Poor move to trade RG3. Extremely poor

We're still in the 2014 season and you're already sure we'll only get a 4th for him?
