Everyone is acting like a QB like RGIII comes along only once in a life time. Guess what they don't. Newton was one of those guys.

Another issue that has to be accounted for is are the Skins one player away from making the play offs? Cause by taking RGIII we could lose up to 3 picks this year and 2 or 3 more picks next year. So by taking RGIII your pretty much in the mind set that this team has everything else it needs on offense and RGIII is the missing piece. He will take this team to the play offs. I don't think that happens.

Another issue is will our coaching staff design and call plays to RGIII's abilities and skill set or will they force the round peg into the square hole and make him play the way they want him to play?

Then there is the issue of will he even work out in the NFL? He comes from a spread offense. How many of you here have argued every year about how spread offense QB's hardly make it in the NFL? A lot of you. He's going to have to work on taking snaps from under center and his footwork along with reading defenses and changing the play calls at the LOS. Personally I'd rather take the Wilson kid who is just as mobile for less the cost. Especially if the coaching staff is going to have to work on changing the QB's technique anyway.

The original question is stupid. The team is going to pick up a Vet QB especially if they let Beck go but definitely if they let both Beck and Grossman go. P.Manning has nothing to do with the draft and would not effect what we could, would, or can do there. If I were the Colts I'd ignore any complaints and keep Manning and draft Luck. Which is why I'm saying I'd take Manning here. I don't think he will be ready. That lets whoever we draft start. Personally Manning or not I want the team to trade back for more picks, he'll draft 2 QB's if they want to and let them battle it out in camp. I'll take 2 young healthy Rookie QB's over one RGIII who ties the clubs hands for a couple of yrs.

Trade back for a late first and a late second. Draft Weeden in round 1. Draft a WR in early round 2. Draft Wilson in late round 2.

Then start picking up the rest of the draft.
