The "Inside Word" on the QB Search

Meks · 01-08-2012, 10:36 PM

and as for the Helu thing... as much as I like him and see a tremendous upside and future..... I trust in Shanahan and the way the line played at the end of the year to be content with Royster, Hightower, and a young late round GEM.

indeed, if it means getting a franchise qb, i guess I'm for it. even tho i love the kid.

John Clayton predicts Redskins will trade up, draft Robert Griffin III - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post

“How about Washington” Cerrato interrupted.

“Ah, they’ll trade with St. Louis and get RGIII,” Clayton answered.

He said Helu was worth both a 2nd and a 4th, i can't believe that is the case. I mean i could be wrong but i doubt he would be worth that much.

Helu isn't going to be traded for a 2nd and a 4th, that's for sure. That's not even possible in Madden.

You obviously didn't fufill his full potential in franchise mode.

The reality is that there are about 15-18 "Roy Helu" type backs in the NFL. It probably speaks more to how pathetic and slow our skill position players have been that we are wowed by his play. A fair comparison would be an in his prime Jerious Norwood. Would anyone here give up 2nd and 4th round picks for Norwood? Exactly.

Nope, you're wrong. Roy Helu was a special running back in college as well. I like to discredit our players too, don't get me wrong... But you chose the wrong guy.

Wasn't really trying to discredit him, just saying he's not a player that other teams are drooling over. I think he's a very nice complimentary back but he's not going to be a top 5-10 back in the league. I'd love for him to develop into such, but I'm not sure that's his game.

Great RBs are a "nice to have" anyway. Not a necessity. Just need a credible running game, which we should have with the RBs already on the roster.

Seems like the only possible criticism of Helu at this point is his proneness to injury, but only time will really tell. That said every year I think teams will be more careful about drafting RBs really high and/or signing to big contracts in general. Look at Mark Ingram this year and you can see how risky RBs are.

Helu could turn out to be Mike's best pick in the '11 draft but he's not going to warrant a 2nd round pick.

Meks · 01-09-2012, 01:04 AM

i'd really rather not trade him i think he and royster and hightower area very formidable 3 and i have faith in the o-line and mike.

Giantone · 01-09-2012, 08:15 AM

....The Skins should trade for Tebow.

Alvin Walton · 01-09-2012, 08:33 AM

Gak.....trading Helu would be stupid.
He's definitely a building block we should keep.
