Along with Jordan Shipley? I see what you did there.

Holmgren is full of shit.

There are coaches and front office guys that are friends all over the league.

Case in point from the article

Holmgren has surely benefited from his own friendships and relationships many more times than he has been burned by those maintained by others. The Godfather of what once was known loosely as the Green Bay Mafia (Jon Gruden perhaps was Luca Brasi), Holmgren knows how to call in favors and/or throw his weight around when he needs to.

Sounds like a case of sour grapes to me.

Makes me glad we made that trade then and not Now...

Don't know if anyone had posted this or not with all the RG3 stuff getting talked about, but I thought it was an awesome highlight reel. Looking forward to seeing that kind of play while wearing Redskins colors next year.

Robert Griffin III (RG3) - Heisman Campaign 2011...

When is Jon Gruden's QB special again? I really would like to see his interview with both Luck and Griffen.

Gruden's QB Camp with Griffin is April 2nd. DVR will be set and that will be saved, for sure.

For those who are still grumpy about the price we paid for the trade, just look at what's going on in Cleveland where the team president is having to explain to their fan base why they didn't make the trade.

Or where I live in S. Florida, Dolphins fans are not at all excited about the prospect of Matt Flynn and are lukewarm at best on the thoughts of Ryan Tannehill in the draft.

Pick your poison, I'd rather be missing a few picks and getting a top flight QB this draft than being deflated once again about the most important position on the field.

I agree. I feel so bad for Browns fans. They are upset about not making this deal even though they still get to keep 3 first round picks. That makes me feel better about the Redskins' position.

The Dolphins are in awful shape. I feel bad for Philbin, who did the right thing to get rid of Marshall, even if it means selling low. They have a bad GM and a potentially good coach. I just don't see how that coach can succeed.

The Browns will probably be alright. A big question for them is whether Shurmur needs to win this year to keep Holmgren/Heckert all together. They'll be okay taking any of Tannehill, Blackmon, or Richardson at no. 4. Still think they are the best off of these three teams coming out of this year's draft.

The Redskins need to make a leap to contention sooner rather than later. There's not enough draft picks to justify struggling through this season. There is no: at least we'll be better when...

I think Griffin offers a legitimate path out of the vicious cycle of the last twenty years, but you can only put so much one guy. At some point, he'll need help. And by help, I don't mean Roy Helu and Pierre Garcon. I mean a player development machine that actually makes underachievers replaceable.

I think I've finally found something we completely agree on!

As positive and optimistic as I tend to be (some call it homerism, pfft) its clear this roster is not a Super Bowl contending roster. Some of our 'better' players like Garcon, Helu, etc. are role players on championship teams. We're fooling ourselves if we think that Helu is a feature back in the NFL, he's a good to very good change of pace back but he's not a bell-cow. Garcon will be the most explosive WR we've had around these parts in a long time but again, he'd be deadly opposite a star that draws double teams. Even someone like Fred Davis, supremely talented but still not elite.

RGIII gives us our best chance at a truly elite player since probably Champ Bailey. He is going to do some things that will make us leap out of our seats but until he's got the cast around him to support those plays with consistent greatness we will not be among the upper echelon of teams. We need to draft not only well but excellently for the next couple of years and make smart acquisitions in free agency.

With our (projected) roster and a rapid learning experience from RGIII we could be in the 7-8-9 win range next season with the hope that in 2014 we've reached a level of being a consistent threat for 10-11 wins per year.

I probably believe in the coaching ability of Mike and Kyle more than some so I hope they can coach up our less talented players to a higher level of production.

On Griffins jersey do u guys think he will put the III after Griffin ?? I hope he does ... Looks kinda cool ... Rather than just Griffin
