One Last Luck vs RGIII Thread

I was not in favor of giving up 3 #1s and a #2 to move up 4 spots this year. But, we get the QB we have needed for years, but little to help him on the OL. Same as last year, and the year before, but now, we will not have all of those #1s to re-load the line. Hope RGIII stays healthy, and hope we get some help for the OL later in the Draft. I was more in favor of trading back like we did for Kerrigan in order to net more picks. That seemed to work very well, and seems more like a way to continue to re-load like the Patriots.

Gotta trust Shan-Allen!

The Redskins have gone since 1985 without a true franchise QB. It was completely necessary for the Redskins front office to pay whatever price it took in order to get a franchise quarterback. We could have had one in the 2005 draft, but Joe Gibbs thought so much of Jason Campbell that he overlooked Aaron Rodgers. If the Redskins can get a strong and athletic RT in the draft to go along with T. Williams, K. Lichtensteiger, Montgomery, and Chester, then the offensive line could flourish into being one of the best in the NFL. Speaking of Griffin III staying healthy, I hope he gains another 15 pounds or so before training camp starts. He's going to get hit a lot by a lot of 245-260 pound linebackers. Griffin III is a slender 223 pounds now so lets hope that he can withstand the hits that an NFL QB takes.

Aaron Rodgers was drafted before Jason Campbell.

Woah, one of the best in the NFL? Heck I'll be happy with not giving up top 5 QB hits and top 5 sacks.
But seriously a good RT is not going to elevate a bad OL into a one of the best in the NFL.
But a good RT can certainly give us a chance to have an average OL and that alone would be a upgrade.

Shanahan: Excited to get Griffin | Washington Examiner

On how quickly he'll name him the starter: "You want to make sure he's ready to play, so you have to go through the process. You don't want to throw a guy in there until he's comfortable. It doesn't happen right away. When you give up a couple firsts and a second you want that guy in there as quick as possible, but you want to do it at the right time to make sure he's ready and gives you the best chance to help you win."

On changing his offense to fit a QB: “You always have to incorporate your offense to a skill set I’ve had seven different quarterbacks. Every quarterback I’ve dealt with was completely different. When I was first with John Elway, my first four years, it was a Dallas Cowboys type system. Dan Reeves came from there. When I went to San Francisco with Steve Young it was a West Coast offense with three- and five-step drops but we kind of incorporated different personnel groups and a few different formations. Not a lot. Then you come back to Denver with Elway again and we changed the offense from Dallas to a combination of what John wanted to do with shotgun and he did not like the three- and five-step drops, but he liked throwing out of the shotgun and moving out of the shotgun so that offense was a little different for the next four years. Brian Griese was completely different. We took formations and changed them up each week, he was one of the sharpest guys I’ve ever been around. You didn’t have much of the rollout package because he wasn’t the fastest guy. Jake Plummer, he could throw great with rollouts and bootlegs. Jake was great at it. He went from winning 36 percent of his games in Arizona to 72 in Denver. And Jay Cutler was a guy that could do everything. … You have to look at who your quarterback is and what your supporting cast is and give that quarterback the best chance to win.”

More good work by Keim.

We didn't overlook Rodgers

I think it just comes down to their different personalities. Luck is more low key, RG3 embraces the spotlight. Neither is the right or wrong way, they're just different guys. I wouldn't assume that just because RG3 is more in the spotlight that he's not working his tail off when it comes to football. Luck has had his share of magazine covers too.

Luck is going on Letterman's show before the draft. So much for a low profile.

[CultBrennan59]

I've been thinking about this as well.


Just because RG3 has the personality, doesn't mean he's going to be successful playing in the NFL. Luck reminds me a lot of peyton manning, in terms of how they talk, act, and their humbleness.

While its true that RG3 is riding his fame wave, you got to keep in mind that WE care about him more than any other player in the draft, because we know he will be our future QB. I'm sure Colt fans are following Luck real closely as well.

Like people said, he still is getting in his hours worth of playbook knowledge with Kyle Shanahan, now it may not be as much time as Luck, because Luck loves studying and reading and Luck also knows that the pressure is on since he IS going to be the number 1 pick.

This draft has a lot of feels to it, but lets hope its not like the 1998 draft, and its more like the 2004 draft.
