Robert Griffin III is the NFL offensive rookie of the month

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

No. Ponder was only available once. The Redskins traded back with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags took Blaine Gabbert with Washington's 10th overall pick. The Minnesota Vikings, your other former team, took Christian Ponder with the 12th overall pick. And the Redskins took Ryan Kerrigan with Jacksonville's pick at 16th overall.

Had the Redskins stayed at #10 overall and not traded back, then and only then was Ponder there for the taking. But Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan obviously felt that the Redskins 31st ranked defense needed upgrades so they traded back and took Ryan Kerrigan.

Right, forgot it was just one trade down.

Robert Griffin III voted rookie of the week (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2012/10/05/robert-griffin-iii-voted-rookie-of-the-week/)

RG3 is a renegade quarterback that can't be stopped. Opposing defensive coordinators are definitely losing sleep because of him.

Kenny Mayne's supposed to have a piece on RG3 next Sunday. I hear it's pretty good

Shit, they may have added a Redskins piece today. Silly piece as per Mayne's usual

Joe Walsh sux
