He'll just use RG3...or "THE REAL RGIII".


I hope he's studying the playbook instead of our forum though.

Yeah, I could see him causing DeSean-like problems for them.

He outplayed everyone, even Hakeem Nicks last season.

John Keim ‏ @john_keim

texted with a FO exec of team who has played Garcon a few times. his take: "Great signing." ... That is all. #Redskins

Not at all. We have a member named GusFrerotte and one named Alvin Walton.


It's OK to use a player's name. You did good by beating everyone else to the RGIII name, it will be in high demand.

That's not even funny, but I'd be OK with Luck too.


After the trade, Bruce Allen said "We fell in love with two players". I'm assuming and hoping that is Luck and RG3, so getting the #2 pick assures one of them. If it's anyone else, I'd be shocked.

When Bill Polian suggested the RG3 will make Pierre Garcon a better receiver, It was clear the Colts plan on going with Luck.

No way! People are just joking around.

You have good things to say and you actually read posts. That's cool.

Welcome to the board!

I don't get the we-overpaid-for-Garcon crowd. Indy offered him $7 mil a year and we had to offer just a bit more to get him. That's what we did. It's not like we threw VJax money at him.

Griffin to Garcon is going to rule.

I agree on Garcon's price. We are at a point where we are bringing in younger talent that hopefully is on the rise, and paying competitively (not crazy dollars). I think the Skins fan base just has become a little schizo as we get back to a sane FO situation. Get Everybody -- Don't pay HIM.

That said, one thing I do hope, is that we are properly valuing our own. This FO has spent alot of efforts, FA signings/later draft picks, on WR, and I would like us to find some of those diamond in the roughs.

Typical over reactionary BS. Dudes act like we gave him a Calvin Johnson contract or something. He was considered the third best WR prospect (production/age combo) in free agency and he got the 2nd best contract, mostly because Colston went back to NO and he's had 2 micro fracture surgeries in the past 26 months. He got a contract that when it's all said and done will be around market for a moderately productive WR who is 26 years old and his curve is ascending.

I think that the perfect offseason for some people would be if we:
-Re-signed all of our players whose jerseys they have hanging in their closet
-In free agency signed young, All pro players (preferably guards and tackles) to incentive laden contracts with a base salary of what else, VET MIN
-Repeatedly traded down until we had 2 picks in every round (not sure if they'd ever be used though)

And of course, win 13 games with 'young, hungry' players.

I don't think Garcon is 7 mil a year type of wr. He's been up and down and struggles with routine catches. But we see it all around the league, teams overpay if they really want a guy. I'm actually OK with Garcon cause Indy established his value. I just see no need for Morgan or Royal. Spend that money elsewhere.

I think the fact Norv in San Diego wanted Garcon over V Jax and the rest of the market speaks pretty high of Garcon's ability
