[quote=SBXVII;883843]I'm going to sound like an idiot (which maybe I've already presented myself as one) but how can the Colts pick RGIII with the #1 pick and still trade Luck to us (the Skins)?[/quote]

magic.

[QUOTE=Hail to the Redskins;883847]The 3-way trade mentioned here before...

Something like...

Skins get #1 pick
Colts gets #2 pick and other picks
Rams get #6, picks, and Orakpo

Is that right? Wasn't that the idea?[/QUOTE]

Yes but that trade is not likely at all

That's a fine opinion and all... he just asked how it makes any sense to say it.

IMO there is no way Colts do not take Luck... but this was the proposal on how we'd end up with Luck and Colts would get RGIII.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;883746]Long ago, in the storied historical archives of the Warpath, a young brave came on and said that he had approached the great warrior coach Joe Gibbs with a question. That question was so awesome that with reverence it is known only by its number. Question 3 may it forever soar amongst the eagles.

More importantly, who is the Question 3 Idol?

[quote=artmonkforhallofamein07;883803]It is interesting that certain journalists used to praise Kyle's system and offense in Houston, but as soon as he comes here -bam!- he sucks.[/quote]

Journalists always look for stories that have instant recognition. Kyle had that quality and Houston was a legit offense under his tutelage. Thing is, Houston's offense is just as good and maybe better now (taking injuries to Johnson out of the equation, and too a lesser extent Schaub), so it's possible and even probable he wasn't the reason for the earlier success.

[quote=artmonkforhallofamein07;883820]lol dirt... much better. Bentleys are for old people. They are big heavy and not very nimble.

I am a car guy. I never got the obsession with Bentleys, unless you have a chauffeur.

Now sports cars are my thing. Lotus isn't a bad choice.[/quote]

Speaking of expensive/sports cars have you checked out Lexus' supercar for a cool $375,00...

I would break any number of serious laws to own that BMF :)

I don't know how I missed this trade scenario because the only 3 way trade I have heard of and also read here is/was refering to the Skins, Rams, and Vikings. It didn't make sense to me and quite frankly although it was designed to sound plausible even this trade scenario involving the Skins, Rams, and Colts would not be good for the Colts. Their losing PM, they need a #1 QB top flight talent to build around and they would rather give it up and take the #2 pick?

Re: QB Apocalypse: The Seventh Sign
 

The idea is that RGIII is that top flight QB and they get a few picks in the process.

I think you might have a point here, clearly Tony Dungy did nothing for John Grudens success with the Buccaneers and... John Gruden had nothing to do with the Raiders success after he left.

Yuk. I think during the Super Bowl Acura showed that they were bringing back their top elite car again which I think looks a lot better.

It's the Acura NSX, awesome car.

[quote=SolidSnake84;883850]On a change of pace, Peyton Manning is working out at Duke now, i'm sure many of you have heard already.

Bill Pollian paints a grim picture though of what Manning actually looks like these days. He said he isn't even close to his old form. Peyton also cannot throw to the left, and he cannot throw across his body because of the nerve damage he can't feel it.

Receivers also say that Peyton doesn't have any zip on the ball, his arm is basically gone.

Dang i can't believe he would try and come back and play if he is that damaged. I knew his arm was suspect after the surgeries, but i had no idea he basically has gotten no better over the last 18 months.

I guess this is the way he is going to be. Can't beleive some team is going to sign him if he is that bad.

Somebody that is more knowledgeble than me, would the Redskins still try and sign Manning if he is just a shell of his former self? (and most accounts have him looking that way).[/quote]

This is some grim picture

[url=http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/09/polian-predicts-peyton-will-return-at-a-high-level/]Polian predicts Peyton will return “at a high level” | ProFootballTalk[/url]

Polian contradicted reports that Peyton hasn’t been able to throw effectively.

“It’s marked [improvement] from where he was back in September,” Polian said regarding Peyton’s arm strength in December, when Polian last observed Manning. “He threw it accurately, he threw it with a good, tight spiral, and he threw it with velocity. Generally, he looked like a pretty confident quarterback out there.”

This meshes with recent comments from Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri, who said last week that Peyton “definitely is not that far off.”

[quote=skinsfaninok;883838]Colts wouldn't have to trade us luck but I see what ur saying[/quote]
I was just thinking that maybe this adds creadence to SS rumor, that we give the rams Orakpo and the Colts draft picks and move up to number one.

Re: QB Apocalypse: The Seventh Sign
 

But Polian's not with the Colts anymore so ultimately his opinion is rather irrelevant

Re: QB Apocalypse: The Seventh Sign
 

[quote=T.O.Killa;883833]I was listening to Bill Pollian today and he said that RG3 is an incredible talent, that fits Shannahan perfectly. He also said that he is as good a prospect as Luck. His comments were that he can throw the ball 60 yards with the flick of a wrist and is incredibly accurate and that [B]he looks like a ripped strong safety. It really got me excited.[/B] He also said there is no way he gets past the second pick. Who knows, if he thinks that way maybe the Colts will pick him and trade Luck to us. Either one, would make me happy.[/quote]

Um...
