I can handle 8-8 or 9-7 next year (learning curve) but if we falter after that because of our QB play then call me anti Shanahan.

If the best way to go is RGIII, then I'm all for it. However, I don't know if giving up draft picks is the best way to go...and really leaning toward that answer being no. If we pick him, and Griffin goes the way of Ryan Leaf, then it's not just the QB position that has suffered, it's the over positions that didn't get a draft pick that would have if the 'skins had either maintained #6 or traded down. But like I said earlier, it really depends upon Peyton Manning's arm. I don't think Redskins fans are patient enough to live through Kyle Orton as a starter.
