Redskins agree to trade for No.2 overall pick in 2012 Draft

I understand thinking about potential concerns, but in this case I think he's well prepared to handle it.

I wish the draft would just hurry up and get here already, I really can't wait to see hopefully RG3 walk across the stage and take a picture with The Rog holding up a Redskins jersey.

I think he has the talent and right mentality to succeed in the NFL, I'm just thinking about potential concerns.

Legitimate concerns IMO. Pressure (levels) vary from one situation to the next and each franchise is different. I tend to agree RGIII will be walking into the highest pressure situation of any QB this season, in fact, by a long shot.

[RGIII]

I think that impressed me the most: the fact that RG3 was willing and able to propel Baylor's program.

I have not read back through the 50 pages of posts to see if this is already up but, wow, this guy is phenomenal:

Robert Griffin III: Poised to handle the pressure - The Washington Post

Normally, I'd put in a paragraph or two of the good stuff from the article. There's just too much there. Man, I am psyched about this kid.

Right now, he is just being diplomatic and, I am pretty sure, he thinks he is the best QB in the draft. I'm pretty sure that's why he hasn't made any comments one way or another about the Skins.

Great article. And I hope you're right about RG3. It's also nice to see Sally Jenkins giving some love to the Redskins.

So, one can conclude that he does not fit the godamned ****ing retarded and stupid stereotype for QBs that "running makes you unable or unwilling to use your brain".

My guess is that I say this once and then am ignored forever...

Since he said in his interview with Mooch that he doesn't like being called RGIII and prefers Griffin, can we please call him Griffin? If we're not going to call him what he wants to be called, who will?

I will try but I'm not going to make any promises. It's so easy to call him that. I'm gonna try Griff out.

Yeah that's why I've been writing Griffin. Though RG3 seemingly takes less time, and what are the odds he would see what we write on here anyway, or even get really offended by it

"I was excited to play in the nation's capital with Mike Shanahan, and I had a good conversation with Pierre Garcon the other day...but then I was reading mooby's post online and you know what **** all the Redskins fans for calling me RG3. I want out! And I let my agent know to get a trade done"

If that happened, I would cry myself to sleep every night after the Redskins lose due to bad qb play, and I'd also voluntarily ban myself from the boards to prevent something like that from ever happening again.

That's a lot of our future right there, and I would have preferred to trade back, not up!

Giants fans said the same for Eli but they aren't anymore

the trade is a done deal, get over it. i will say it again, we gave up 2 #1's and 1 #2. not 3 #1's, we still have a #1 pick this year. we have missed on QB's in the past but the two most recent were Campbell and Ramsey both late 1st round picks. we are going for it hoping to get a franchise QB, who knows if it will pan out.
