He's a great QB in a different way. We'd still be good with Luck/have the same record, I think. Keep in mind, Luck can run too. People think he just sits in the pocket, he moves if he needs to.
The main reason why I love RG3 so much more then Luck, as well as Cam is this. Luck does not seem to have that It factor, as amazing of a QB as he is. RG3 does and then some. Cam on the other hand, as great as he is, looks to be one of the biggest choke artist's when the going gets tough. RG3 looks like he has the making to be one of those QB's that when the game is on the line, he is just going to take a 5 foot sword and impale the opposing team in the chest! I believe we drafted Eli in that sense. Just pure clutch!

I'm so glad Peyton Manning refused to sign with the Redskins in free agency. What more could we want other than Robert Griffin III?
I agree. I am especially happy we did not pick Jake Locker, Ponder, Blaine Gabbert or someone like that. I remember some people being really pissed when we passed on those guys and Jimmy Clausen. Clausen is now third string in Carolina.

Crazy how things work out. Each year many of us (myself included) have been disappointed that we weren't able to get certain QBs. Like what if the Titans hadn't taken Locker at 8, or what if the Bears hadn't stepped in at the last minute to trade for Cutler, or what if Cerrato could have swung the trade for Sanchez.

I wasnt terribly upset because none of them were sure things. Clausen i remember thinking we might have made a mistake. Wasnt upset that we didnt pick him though at all. Two drafts ago i was upset because 1) rex and beck was a death sentence for the year and 2) who saw the number two pick and rise of rg3. Nobody. I kept my sanity though and didnt complain about not taking a qb because none of them were sure things. So props to shanny and co for not reaching even a little bit. That being said we "lucked out" and got rg3. Minus three superbowls it is arguably the greatest turn of events in redskin history.

Scary to even think that, we would have been stuck in the endless loop of sucking that has been the last 12 years.

The funny thing is that death sentence is what gave us the leverage (our original high 2012 1st rounder) to get RGIII.
Yeah, Shanny and Allen deserve some credit for bringing talent back to the team. They haven't been perfect (McNabb), but nobody is.

We probably wouldn't have taken Locker at 8 (my opinion)
Whole Cutler deal was kind of crazy
Cerrato tried sooo sooo hard to get Sanchez.

The one thing about Mike Shahanan is that he knows quarterbacks. Had Ponder or Locker been available in the 2nd round the Redskins probably would have selected one of them in that round and passed on Jarvis Jenkins. But I'm glad we got Kerrigan and Jenkins.

Ponder was right there for them to take twice, and they passed both times
