I've had the (dis)pleasure of watching all these fine specimens play QB for the Washington Redskins. There is only one elite QB on this entire list... and his name is RG3. And it's not even close.

Is RG a sure thing? Of course not. But how 'bout we give the kid some time to heal and learn? He's 23 years old for christ sake.

We've waited 27 years for this kid. Patience gentlemen...patience.

I haven't seen any posts in this thread where people are saying that RG3 can't turn into that guy. We're being asked if we think he is a certain franchise QB. He's not a franchise QB right now, but this thread seems to lean towards people thinking he can get there. That's showing patience, in my opinion. He has a lot to prove, but he also has years to prove it.

Since the smoke is beginning to clear in RG3 media mutilation, I declare that ultimately RG3 has won this battle.

I believe RG3 is definitely the franchise QB going forward, but it's way, way too early to declare him elite, especially after this shitshow of a season.

By year 4, there should be a clearer picture as to whether or not the he has future HOF potential.

Yes that is fair. I should have phrased it differently - "elite potential". Obviously he has not yet reached elite status on the field.

If he would have had a difficult 2nd year on whatever other team drafted him, they would attribute it to being on a bad team, or normal sophomore struggles, or missing an all-important offseason, or some other legitimate reason. But no, since he's on our team, he's immediately a bust and not worth the price.

I agree with 30gut. With good coaching and more experience, he will be an elite quarterback.

Great point.

If we hadn't have made the trade right now we'd likely be the Cleveland Browns. We would have 3 other players and still likely be looking for our long term solution at QB.

The same Cleveland Browns that have one more win than us?

And also not going to the playoffs, still with no long term QB solution.

And a good D and a good coach and draft picks. They would beat us if we played em next week. Thats a travesty after what KC and the boys did to them last year. If they played in the nfc east they very well might be going. Hoyer was kicking butt before he went on IR. lol

[Eknox]

Yes!

And who lost to the Jags. I'll take our future over the Browns future all day, every day.

I hope he is one thing about him the kid can take a hit

Agreed. Who can seriously think they can compete without an elite qb in AFDC north or any division for that matter.

[skinsfaninok]

Browns r always the browns, I'd.take the skins over them any year every yr

We have a
2 Starting Caliber QBs
Starting Caliber RB in Alfred Morris and a good number two in Helu
Starting Caliber WR in Garcon
Starting Caliber TE- Reed
Starting LT

The whole defense and the line needs to be rebuilt. RG3 is not the problem

I completely agree!

The Defense, the O-Line and the Special Team are the problem!
