Let's hope there's a better balance with him, passing and some running.
I missed this. He had a ROY season his first year, he had an NFL level second year. He certainly is a franchise qb, the biggest concern has to be his frame and health. I don't get people forgetting he threw 5 interceptions, 5, his first year. The second year clearly he didn't have the same push from his legs and his timing was out of sync, but his stats and just feel of his game was improving throughout the season.

Bottomline. Considering him a franchise qb isn't a mistake, he may not be the top 5 guy that we thought after his first year but there is no doubt he will consistently be in the top 10.

Man if only people would of told Kurt Warner, Cam Newton, Alex Smith, Drew Brees, and Philip Rivers that they were not franchise Quarterbacks after their bad seasons then we could get back to reality.

Let's stop overreacting after one year people

Armageddon is here ... the four horseman of the apocalypse are riding the storm ... RGIII had a sophomore slump after a bad knee injury.

Yup. All pretty much equivalent.

Re: 2014 draft prospects Early edition

OK I look at the draft like I would buying a car. I bought the Caprice aka RG3, now time to buy some 23 inch rims( aka O-Line and WRs in this years draft).

So you are setting the car to break the first time it hits a bump in the road?

Thanks.

Re: 2014 draft prospects Early edition

Ehhh, easy prediction to make for a short, running QB.

Of course a running QB could get hurt, but it's not guaranteed...Russell Wilson has escaped injury so far. He's been lucky. It's coming.

Yet, Jaws talks like he wants to have Colin Kaepernick's babies.

He just wanted the spotlight on him for a day.

Re: 2014 draft prospects Early edition

Here's an excellent draft-related site. NFL Combine info for every draft prospect since 1999. It's interesting to compare how successful NFL players performed versus how prospects performed this year...

Re: 2014 draft prospects Early edition

Round 2: Kelvin Benjamin or Jordan Matthews WR- We need a complimentary wide-out to Garcon and these two fit the bill. I think one of these guys will be there at our pick. I like the physical attributes of Benjamin, Matthews will be a great pro because of he mental make up and knowledge of the game.

Round 3: Chris Borland ILB or Troy Niklas, TE- Chris is short like London, is a great leader like London, Plays like London. Troy has size and plays physical. Has played H-Back, think a bigger, faster Cooley.

Round 4: Christian Jones ILB or Anthony Steen OG- Jones is the best cover LB in the draft matched with a strong run stopping inside linebacker like Brandon Spikes would instantly upgrade the LB group. Steen was a powerhouse OG at Alabama until his injury. He could a starter at LG.

Round 5: Daniel McCullers, DT or Ross Cockrell CB- McCullers is a monster of a man and strong traditional NT that could anchor the D-line for years to come. Ross is a physical corner from Duke, smart and can contribute on special teams.

Round 6: De'Anthony Thomas or Dri Archer PR/KR- game changing speed players that have played KR/PR in their college careers with legendary results.

Round 7: L'Damian Washington or Marcus Lucas WR Missouri- great size and speed. Both would be a great project player to develop. He also play as the gunner on special teams. Can contribute to the game day roster in that role.

I like the players you mention, however the Redskins cannot afford to draft 2 WRs and a special team player. They need lineman.

Meanwhile RG3 runs for his life with a lot of grass stains on his ass.

^Not if you signed Alex Mack, Geoff Schwartz and Anthony Collins in free agency.
We have drafted 9 OL players in the past 10 years with no results. It's not who you draft, it's how you develop them.

I think Trent Williams is a decent player. I think it is very important who you draft, there are very few late round or UDFAs players that "develop" into pro bowl players... the days of Joe Jacoby are gone.

The Redskins have used 2 picks in the first four rounds of the last 5 drafts on O lineman. Trent, and Josh LeRibieus, we are still waiting for Josh to develop into a player worthy of the active roster.
