That would be a good point only if the same people that signed Haynesworth were still running the FO, but they are not.

McNabb wasnt that long ago. It was a risk worth taking, but ended crazy at least

Better example, though luckily we got out of that with little cap trouble. I think.

Ok, now onto more important stuff..

If I am creating RGIII on my Madden game... what do you think his attributes are going to be? Vick speed? Newton arm strength?

So a year constitutes "in a while" now? McNabb ring a bell?

I meant by Free Agency ad going nuts like we used too, McNabb was a trade that just didn't work but we didn't give him crazy $

Great Move... It's a steep price, but to potentially have a top level QB for the next 10-12years is worth 3 1sts and a second. As mentioned, RGIII will have growing pains, but overall this, (IMO) is not a move that we'll look back on in 5 years and regret.

I love the fact that we are moving up to draft a QB. But DAMN! that's a lot to give up for an untested talent.

Another good article pointing out what Luck will have in Indy and how different that is from what RG3 will (possibly) have in DC.

Eye On Football - CBSSports.com Robert Griffin III will be better than Andrew Luck ... in 2012

Suppose the unthinkable happens and Indy takes RG3 instead? Talk about the world turning upside down on that day.

These guys are 1 and 1a. Both teams win either way.
