Winston is a risk b/c he is an accused rapist, thief and general head case. Big difference.

I'll agree the accused rapist part is a very red flag, but it's still only an accusation, you know that better than anyone. And don't tell me your buying the stealing crab legs thing? I'd bet my house there have been over 100 players before him that have done the same thing at that store, this time someone wanted to call him out.

Newton on the other hand, took someone's laptop, painted it black and wrote Cam Newton on it. Then when the cops came to his dorm, he threw it out the window. A little worse than walking out with some free crab legs IMO.

All I'm saying is at the end of the day it's hard to judge these kids in college on what they will be based off of an incident or two in college. But it does make good headlines.

What is there to "buy" about the crab legs? Winston shoplifted, in a stupid retarded manner to boot. There have been 100 other players like him, yeah like cam newton, they are just as stupid as winston.

Dude, a speeding ticket analogy is more appropriate. When u get one, chances are its not the first time u sped. Question for NFL GMs is, how many other stupid things has winston done? And can he still play like Newton or Vick?

Considering that Cam stole a computer and threw it out the window in an attempt to hide it from the cops. Im not exactly sold on it being a big difference. That clearly makes Cam a thief and throwing it out the window to hide it from cops takes care of the head case part. Now if anyone has any accusations that Cam is a rapist, we can call it a trifecta and declare them one and the same.

Winston has at least faced his issues and didnt transfer multiple times until he got paid... I mean, found the right situation for him. Winston is a dumbshit for sure, but the only difference between Cam and Winston is that Cam has matured in the NFL and is turning into a good NFL QB where Winston hasnt had that chance yet.

[Avinash_Tyagi]

Truth be told, I don't want such a guy on the team, even if he turned out to be the best player ever

Even if he is innocent of rape (and that's a big if considering all the rape that goes on in US colleges), he's the type of guy who attracts nothing but bad.

Skins have problems on the field, but one of the things I like about our players is for the most part we haven't had any big scandals from them in a long time (correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't heard of skins players beating their wives, raping some girl, hazing and bullying other players, etc.)

Just to clarify, what I meant by liking how skinsfan69 thinks is the mere fact of being able to trade a player for draft picks and accumulate multiple high round picks to help fill out the roster, all the while drafting a guy who appears to fill the position of said traded player just fine.

Obviously though, I don't agree for a second that trading Robert Griffin III is even remotely something the Redskins should do. To me, he's shown flashes of being a franchise quarterback, but he has to do that on a consistent basis and most importantly, stay healthy. I don't really understand the suicide dives off the RGIII bandwagon, but I understand that until he plays a full season, there's always going to be some room for concern.

But if anything, Cousins has solidified my fanatic following of one Robert Griffin III. I like Cousins and think both him and Robert are high quality character guys, and he's someone you still would like to have on your team in a backup role, but we can clearly see Cousins is not the answer. And what keeps RGIII from being the answer won't be because of his play, but his health. I expect Robert to come in and play well. But I'm very concerned about him staying healthy. Which goes back to what I've been repeating over and over again - improve that offensive line, and that will fix a lot of problems.

[donofriose]

The skins should trade 3 first round picks with Jacksonville or Oakland to make sure they get that number one pick.

[mredskins]

At this point ride the RGIII bus unti lthe wheels completely fall off or hopefully stay o nand spin. In the meantime build a team around him OL and secondary. If RG3 fails then at the very least you have a strong team to build around your new QB.

RG3 is cheap at this point so money that would go to a veteran QB can be better spent on true areas of need. At this point wasting a draft pick or FA ($) on a QB is foolish.

[WillH]

Maybe we can just use FA to address our other needs. We have all our picks this year right, and will likely have high picks. Why not trade down and draft 3 QB's in the first couple rounds and have them battle it out for the starting job?

lol

[Avinash_Tyagi]

Ideally Griffin should be Joe Montana and Randall Cunningham rolled into one, but if he's merely as good as Russell Wilson, I'll be happy with that.

But first he's got to stay healthy

[Hog1]

Your right the revenue from the 2k autographs could be as much as 40k. More importantly, he breaks the rules with abandon. Violates policies the same. Moreover, other atrocities will no doubt turn up. Maybe worst of all. The statement he yelled in the cafeteria is just.....classless.......Trash
No Thanx

[Skins4L]

Rg doesnt need Wilsons blueprint. Kid played one and a half a series of game with the brace off. He just needs to get healthy.

[skinsfan69]

Bottom line is we have two QB's in their 3rd year. RG3 has yet to prove he can run an NFL offense, he struggled in preseason and he's injury prone. KC really does a lot of things well in this offense, but can he kick these turnovers and is he mentally tough enough to overcome it? Two question marks at QB on a bad team. All I'm saying is I would not cross the best QB coming out of the draft off my list.

No, I disagree

What we should focus on with this draft is the Offense and Defensive lines.

We need an Offensive line that can tear open holes for Morris and Helu to run through.

There is no reason why we cannot be a run heavy team, I know the league has gone with being all about passing, but I think that's the wrong philosophy, if we have an O-line that is able to tear open holes in the opposing defense, we have the running backs to be a team that gets 200+ Yards per game just from rushing with ease.

A Defensive line that can sack opposing QB's consistently with only the front 4.

If we can be able to threaten opposing QB's with just a 4 man rush, that frees up our linebackers to assist on coverage shutting down opposing team passing games.

An Offensive line that can protect our passer, we don't need a brilliant QB, just a QB who doesn't make mistakes, and if he has ample time to pass, it won't matter who we have there, especially if he can rely on a strong running game.

An Defensive line that can shut down the run, hey if they can threaten the passer with only a front 4, than I have no doubt such a line, with a little help from the linebackers would gut any opposing running games.

Its time for us to stop looking for some brilliant QB to save the day, you think Mark Rypien was a genius QB? Doug Williams?

Nope, they were competent, but not hall of fame caliber, and yet we won Super Bowls with them.
