The Wilson Blueprint

Maybe we can just use FA to address our other needs. We have all our picks this year right, and will likely have high picks. Why not trade down and draft 3 QB's in the first couple rounds and have them battle it out for the starting job?

lol

Seriously? We are discussing drafting Winston possibilities? Wtf? No chance that happens. RG is our guy, just need to give him some time. I have a feeling he is going to finish this season strong giving us some positivity in a very bleak year so far.

And just a side note, for all the talk about how Winston is some huge off the field risk, I don't buy it. Everyone was screaming from the hill tops about how risky Cam Newton was going to be and that seems to have been blown way out of proportion. From everything I've seen of Winston on the field, the kid can play, and I think he will hold his own in the NFL.

Newton was deemed a risk b/c he was flamboyant and questions existed as to his ability to be "pro-ready" day 1.

Winston is a risk b/c he is an accused rapist, thief and general head case. Big difference.

lol @ drafting another QB

:doh:

This.

Just to clarify, what I meant by liking how skinsfan69 thinks is the mere fact of being able to trade a player for draft picks and accumulate multiple high round picks to help fill out the roster, all the while drafting a guy who appears to fill the position of said traded player just fine.

Obviously though, I don't agree for a second that trading Robert Griffin III is even remotely something the Redskins should do. To me, he's shown flashes of being a franchise quarterback, but he has to do that on a consistent basis and most importantly, stay healthy. I don't really understand the suicide dives off the RGIII bandwagon, but I understand that until he plays a full season, there's always going to be some room for concern.

But if anything, Cousins has solidified my fanatic following of one Robert Griffin III. I like Cousins and think both him and Robert are high quality character guys, and he's someone you still would like to have on your team in a backup role, but we can clearly see Cousins is not the answer. And what keeps RGIII from being the answer won't be because of his play, but his health. I expect Robert to come in and play well. But I'm very concerned about him staying healthy. Which goes back to what I've been repeating over and over again - improve that offensive line, and that will fix a lot of problems.

Brady is a tall skinny rail.

Your right,thats a good example.
But Im sure you know Brady doesnt take hits like Griffin.Griffin probably takes more hits in a game{some his fault,some off line] than Brady does in a season

Ideally Griffin should be Joe Montana and Randall Cunningham rolled into one, but if he's merely as good as Russell Wilson, I'll be happy with that.

But first he's got to stay healthy

if the redskins draft winston i will literally stop being a redskins fan. it wouldnt even be a hard choice. no way i could root for that guy.

RG3 will be the man.

Yeah right. If they drafted him and he became a great QB you'd be on the bandwagon.

I like your thinking, but I seriously doubt Buffalo or the NY Jets would trade a 1st rounder AND a legit 0-lineman for RGIII. I'm doubting RGIII would command a first round pick right now. Maybe toward the end of the season, if he gets back in there and plays really well. But then again, if he gets back in there and plays really well, why trade him?

Also, do we know that Winston is reading defenses and making that committed throw before his receivers are coming out of their breaks, or is he simply throwing to the designed destination no matter what? It's kind of hard to tell on the collegiate level sometimes. Anyway, even if Winston has all the tools and smarts of a Joe Montana/Tom Brady/Drew Brees/Warren Moon.....he's a HUGE risk for off the field trouble and the Redskins have enough issues as it is.

I just think he's every bit as good or better than Luck was. He calls out protections, he's under center, he's running a complex NFL type of offense. To top it off he actually gets good grades. Yeah he's a knucklehead, probably needs to grow up, but like I said, if he's there I'd think about it. I don't think Gruden is in love with RG3 and doesn't have patience to develop him. Anyway...just a thought.

Two witnesses said it was consensual. He stole some crab legs and yelled something stupid. He needs to grow up but it would not stop me from drafting him.
