BTW, kudos to Glazer for breaking the news. Very impressed with him.

I know this..

A backfield filled with RGIII and Roy Helu is a damn powder-keg of speed ready to break a big play at any time.

Fastest QB/RB combo in the league (at least tied with Vick/McCoy).

Matter of fact.. they could start implementing some of those quick-draws those Eagles run with their guys instantaneously.

Yes, because that has been the formula for winning the Super Bowl over the last 12 years. Everyone knows a fast QB and fast RB equal Championship.

Wow... really?? What a douche comment to make.

I was simply pointing out a positive of the situation that WILL BE.

All of you guys who want to bitch and moan about 2013 & 2014 1st round picks all you want... That's called "Crying over spilled milk."

Ever heard of that? It's what 2 year olds do... cry over things that they can't change.

This is our situation now... find something positive in it or walk away... damn.

Dealy combo. Plus Hightower and Royster. SOLID backfield. SOLID QB. After a decade plus of despair...some HOPE.

I say they go after Vincent Jackson and Michael Bush.

Tannehill, Foles, Kellen Moore, Kirk Cousins, and Brock Osweiler would have all represented great hope for the future at the quarterback position.

You don't trade three first rounders for hope. You trade them for wins.

Actual. Tangible wins. No more of this 11-21 crap. That what you trade picks for.

I hope my baseless hunch that Luck is ours is correct.

I'm such a maverick.

Oh an for all of you griping about how rg3 only has the POTENTIAL to be a franchise QB, the picks we gave up were also just players with POTENTIAL. We chose griffins potential vs that of 4 other players. It's not as ridiculous as some of you are making it out to be.

I'm so happy with this! In an odd way, I feel like we have some closure. In an odd way.

Now we have to go win some games.

We swapped 1st rounders this year. So we gave up 2 1st rounders and 2nd rounder, it is still a steep price.

In a small way I almost feel bad for RG3. He's coming to a bad team that's putting all their hopes on him.... that's going to have to go the free agent route to improve, and be dead on with their draft picks.
