Yet Another QB Rumors Thread (Volume 9)

There is game tape that tells you RGIII is a legitimate QB and not simply a track star. Why do people keep discounting what he did at Baylor last year like anyone could have done the same? And just a heads up but it wasn't one interview. He had multiple interviews (ie the NFL Network) and the general consensus is that he handled the questions better than the rest of the QB group. This includes actual football talk and not just "how would you describe yourself" questions.

I like him, but feel like Cam Newtons performance last year has skewed a lot of opinions on RGIII. Putting up big passing stats in a college spread Offense normally wouldn't mean much, and people are having a hard time setting his speed and mobility to the side. Give me the 40 times of Big Ben, Brees, Rodgers, Brady and both Mannings any day of the week. To me, the faster RGIII runs, the bigger the impact will be when a 250LB. Linebacker slams into him.

That said, if the Shanny's are in love with him and think he's the chosen one, then this year's second and third and next year's first isn't a terrible price to pay ONLY because we can get the same caliber players in free agency. If we weren't in such a solid position with free agency, it would be a much tougher pill to swallow.

I still believe it will break down this way....

Colts ....Luck

#2 Browns....RGIII

Peyton Manning to the Cardinals or Jets.

Agree on the 1st and 3rd points

It's possible though that the Redskins are just trying to pressure a team into showing their hand the way that some owners will leak information about a potential move to see how it will be received.

Certainly possible. That was more so the case last year I think

Shanny has been watching college QB tape since mid season. And just because the media was not spouting about him does not mean RG3 was not a prospect before this year.

To your point on the media that is exactly what it means

I must say, while I think it is nice that RG3 ran such a good 40 time...in a way I don't know how that makes him more valuable. The guy is a QB...yes it is nice to have a fast QB and he'd become a double threat, but he is still a QB. Cam Newton ran a 4.6 40 and he is a double threat. In the end, I want RG3 to be a good passer and decision maker, which I am sure he can do. I just thing that people are too enamored with the 40 in this situation.

I'm with you on this. It kills me seeing some fans claim "LETS GET HIM" after seeing a fast 40 time. I'm like, are these the same guys calling Al Davis stupid? I could care less of a QB's 40 time. Like somebody mentioned, I'll take Brady, Mannings, Marino (and slew of others) 40 time over a fast QB without the passing skills.

SS,I mean no disreapect to the Skins or yourself but I beleive the Browns have 2 #1's this year and I just beleive they will pony up more in the end.

I tend to think that most who want RGIII wanted him before his 40 time. Al Davis would look at speed and set everything else aside. I don't think that's the case with RGIII. He would appear to have lots of tangible, and intangible, assets.

wow...
gotta say, this ranks up there in the "I refuse to see it, because I don't want it" quotient.

aka, haters gonna hate
