Billcik was very impressed with him and said he was a better passer than Cam was last year in the combine, etc, and he is probably a lot smarter as well. I think Robert will do very well for us, it is just a matter of surrounding him with good linemen that can hopefully stay healthy and guys that can actually hang on to the ball. Garcon was a gem of a FA acquisition, and will go a long way in helping both RG III and the other receivers. Still 1 future starter for 4 future probable starters does get me rethinking this at times.

RGIII is definitely a big gamble, but considering we just ended the season with Rex Grossman as our quarterback, this trade has nothing but upside for the Redskins.
