I still remember Kiper going off about how Wilson would never make it in the NFL because he was too short.................................what an idiot.

Wilson is a pocket passer first, not some "gadget" high school team kind of player that RGKnee or Kaperstickit or what ever his name is! But, IMO RGKnee is going to turn out to be the worse of the three.

Yep absolutely horrible trade. Just a little under when Ditka traded the whole draft for Ricky Williams in 99. Lulz. That set the Saints back forever, although they sucked back then year in year out anyways. But still.

While Tannehill is nothing special, Griffin is not that much better than him, if any at all. Especially not worth all those picks. When you are bad, you need good draft picks. They don't have that this year. That will kill them.

They gambled and went all in thinking this guy was going to set the league on fire and they would not need those picks.

Commanders fans were predicting great things in the future after last years playoff team, but right now, I think they are staring into an abyss and about to free fall for years to come.

Colin Kaepernick is part of the 2011 draft class, not the 2012.

Ok, thanks for the correction. My main point I was trying to make is that he was trying to run that "wild cat" crap like RGKnee was drafted for, or was trying to run.

You can't fault theand Roy ins, but I can. You never give up the farm for a player that you think MIGHT have the potential to be a great QB. I can see drafting one in the first round, and maybe trading up to do it, but not what those Skins did. That is just Looney Tunes!

And, to top it off, RGKnee is coming out questioning the coaching staff and causing himself to look foolish even to the media that last year were on Ebay bidding for his jock strap!

Your GM has twice traded coveted first round picks for Galloway and Roy Williams. Those are worse trades then Washington trading to get a franchise qb.

Believe me, I am personally friends with one. And after that win against us in the final game, he was predicting a Super Bowl win and was not kidding. I tried to reason with him that neither team was that good and most likely would be a 1st round exit to Seattle. I had to hear how Griffin and the Skins were going to dominate the East for the next 10 years. I am loving this right now. They are a complete mess.

Here is an interesting RGII stat.

"Griffin has been sacked an astounding 26 times this year. The Big Lead pulled video of each sack, and he's been helped up by teammates just three times."

Not sure if that means anything, but I find it interesting. O-lineman almot always help up their QB, especially if it's their guy he failed to block sacked him.

Curious.

The big mistake by the Commander front office was going after the 2nd rated player at the QB position. Everybody knew Luck was the best. I don't know what Danny and Shanny were thinking. This coming draft the Rams will get a top 7 pick in addition to all the other selections stashed from the original rape of the Commanders. Team like the Seahawks found their starting QB in the same draft all the way down to the 3rd round and he is better than Bobby G. 3.

They invested a ton in RG3 and didn't even have a team around him to succeed. They thought they would get a decent QB and it would solve their problems. Um, nope. They over invested in RG3-8. If they did that for Luck I would understand, RG3? No way.. and they will pay a dear price for that.

I actually think RGIII has potential despite his rough year, but he's going to be ruined by Washington. Starting with the crippling trade they made to get him, and likely followed by Shanahan being fired and replaced with someone even worse. Worse thing that ever could have happened to RGIII, getting drafted by the Commanders.

Wow, this could turn out to be one of the worse trades off all time.
Jenkins is very good and improving
Ogletree is doing a fantastic job
Stacy runs very well and looks legit
Now they are going to get more. The Rams might only be a year or two away from being a strong team.

Desperate people make awful choices. Thats what the Redkins did.

Only Luck was worth trading so many picks.

The Rams still need a QB. I also don't think their coach is anything special.
