Because obviously if Griffin ends up in the Hall of Fame, there wasn't a price that was too large to pay for that.

Gotcha. That's fair, especially with the "decisions" we've seen Shanahan make at quarterback the last two years. No more guesswork, lets cash in now.

I get that. A team with a good personnel guy gets much more value out of the picks. But the Redskins? They might very well get more out of Griffin.

I don't see the ceiling of RGIII being Donovan McNabb. The way i see it he is more like Steve Young and if he can perform like Steve did under Shanahan then I will be completely okay with the trade.

If Young is your comparable then the challenge for the Redskins will be to not trade him after three seasons when they haven't won anything as a result of the pick. Or he could save our team in the next three years and the discussion is moot.

I don't think the current regime will be here three years from now. Snyder will be though.

Out of all the QBs I hear RGIII compared to, Steve Young is the one I would compare him to. A pocket passer who's legs give him the ability to make plays by passing on the run and by tucking it and running.


Comparing him to Vick, Young, Tebow, Cam is laughable at best(not sure if anybody has). I can't begin to state how happy I am knowing this guy is going to be a Redskin.

I compare him to Cam but only from a leadership and confidence stand point

They both have big arms as well./ RG3 is much more agile and quick though, and is much more of a pure passer than Cam, although Cam can definitely take more punishment. Im curious to see how Griffin throws into tight windows. If he can do that and make his reads, this guy is gonna get real good, real quick.

RG3 is absolutely comparable to Young.
Our supporting cast isn't comparable to what Young had however.

The question is, is our supporting cast closer to what Young had in Tampa? or what he had in San Fran?
