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

[Hail to the Redskins]

Stupid. You just traded away 3 badly needed starters for one. What happened through getting more picks like NE and building steadily. This kid isn't a Manning or Elway or Luck type out of college. He is a very good QB no less, but played in a weakend Big 12 that happens to be defensively deficient most of the time. Snyder has done it again, got the fans snagged on the hot sexy pick, hoping it will pan out. I think BA and Shanny are feeling the heat so they went against the plan to save their asses. I like RG III a lot, but 3 first rounders for a still unproven commodity at the NFL level is not wise."

I'm not a "RGII walks on water person", but I'll say this...

vs Texas = #11 defense in the country in 2012 (they were VERY good):
RGIII - 15-22, 320 yds, 2 TD, INT

vs TCU = #34 in the country:
21-27, 359 yds, 5 TD, 0 INT

Those aren't OK numbers... they are great... and he's playing with a Baylor offensive line (not Wisconsin's), and throwing to Baylor WRs (not Miami's or USCs).

I just mean, he may flop, but I hate when people use the whole Big 12 argument... that's just me.
