This post just got me extremely excited! I'm all in for Robert Griffin the 3rd!

New #Rams head coach Jeff Fisher:"We have a lot of options and we're going to be prepared." Said trading Sam Bradford is NOT an option.

Stings a bit...Looks like my last shred of hope for Bradford is gone.

It has happened before where a coach says we are not trading 'so and so' and then later on, the end up trading that guy.

Fisher has said all along one of the main reasons for taking that job was Bradford. He's going to build around him.

Yea I hear you but I was still clinging. Maybe I just missed it but I heard that stuff mentioned by others but not actually straight from his mouth until today.

It just seems to me that if a QB doesnt want to throw he's trying to hide something like a weak arm or inaccuracy. Throwing is everything for an NFL QB. If you have nothing to gain why bother going to Indy at all?

There is zero to gain at all for a top-level QB to throw. The only thing it could do is diminish their prospects. I mean they're top-level because everyone has seen them play and knows what they are capable of. They can't be "hiding" anything because they just finished a college football season where they showed how awesome they are. What happens when they go to the combine and tweak an oblique and can't get the ball down the field? I mean they can't possibly show anything physically to further their prospects. There is nothing to be gained. They do go to Indy to talk and interview as Matty said because that is the stuff that watching them play doesn't show.

That would be awesome. Too early to put all our eggs (hopes) into that basket just yet though...

Excellent article. I loved this quote:


Agents will use the media to promote their players. Instead, as a fan, think like a club executive and read between the lines of every report.


Also highlights a key difference between the Redskins of old and the Redskins of today. Even in this day and age, agents will use the Redskins' name to drum up bidding wars for their players as a result of our past history. But the reality is Shanny/Allen will take the explore all options/leave the bidding war route instead of getting caught up in the hype of a player as in years' past.

To sum up, it's nice to know we have competent execs in charge.
