It's like a guy who gets his undergrad degree...gets offered a high paying job with big bonus incentives (performance based of course)...and turns it down because he doesn't want to risk not getting his MBA before hitting the field. He takes more years, gets his MBA, and comes out making the same money he was offered after undergrad...then he realizes that he could have "taken a risk", took the job, earned his MBA part-time, built up his resume and would have been making more $$$$.


Long and corny way to say....get our QB of the future and build around him while we develop him. Don't be afraid to multi-task.
We can't take risks for a guy that's not pro ready. The issue I have is we're not getting Luck, who's more pro ready than RG3.

Analogy:

Given the choice between Giada DeLaurentis and Kate Upton.

I'll marry the sexier lady and teach her how to cook later. We'll just order take out for a while.

I see your point but we're talking about quarterbacking in the NFL. And besides, Giada would probably be a much better wife, she's the one you take home to mom. Kate would be the the one that you take to bed to get freaky with.

Exactly. By the way that jerk I operated on last week wants to sue me. Said surfing the web on my smart phone during emergency surgery counts as Malpractice.

Sounds like they should be suing the anesthesiologist. Emergency surgery should put the patient under. If the patient could tell what you were doing while operating on them, that's somebody else's problem...

It's a simple numbers game. Would have have more of a chance of winning the lottery if I gave you 100 tickets or if I game you 1?

Nobody's said that. You are using part of what was said and nobody has said lets stockpile our picks.

I said we can't afford to take huge risks NOW. This doesn't mean not to take them at all or sometime in the near future. Huge difference in what I said and what you are saying.

Could be either, depending on how the different games are structured.

With the caveat of: if we have a chance to turn this 6th overall pick into 100 picks anywhere in the draft, I think we should do it, no matter who is available at the 6th pick.

I would consider Helu/Hightower/Royster/Hankerson/Davis young talent. Throw Dwayne Bowe in there and you've got something.

Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

NC:

I respectfully disagree...do it now (if they have targeted a guy they like).

All due respect....Vinny jokes are getting a tad stale. Just saying, I appreciate original material.

No. What's getting stale is the..........TRADE IT ALL FOR THIS GUY BECAUSE HE"S THE SURE FIRE THING.....mentality. How about you practice your own advice and try something new instead of what we've been doing the past 12 years. Until that mentality changes, it's Vinnish and always will be. I just find it ironic that many of you are exactly like the guy you profess to hate or despise.

I like RGIII and would love for him to be on this team, but not at the expense of what some of you are willing to give up. That said, there is a certain amount I would be fine with doing. Hell, I would rather move up to the #3 or #4 than the #2.

NEWS FLASH:

We have a different Front Office.

Maybe some hourly paid couch time might help you get past the trauma you suffered during the Ceratto era?

Now...breathe in, breathe out....isn't that soothing

I know and I'm glad for it. I have confidence they'll make the right decision. If it be a trade up, stay put, or move back in the draft. I'll be fine with it as long as we don't put all our eggs in one basket.
