RG3 is done. Only thing to watch for now is what team he'll wind up with
Remember when the read option was supposed to be unstoppable?
I do.

3 first round picks down the crapper..................LMAO..................man that has got to hurt.
If he was available this offseason, I'd take RG3 ASAP! He'd be Romo's successor in 3 years. Unfortunately, a lot of teams will go after him to be their starter...wouldn't be surprised to see him in Houston
The 2012 trade with the St. Louis Rams that brought Griffin to Washington is going to go down as one of the worst in franchise history.
The Commanders exchanged a 2012 first-round pick (No. 6), 2013 first-round pick (No. 22), 2014 first-round pick (No. 2), and 2012 second-round pick (No. 39) for the No. 2 pick and the right to draft RGIII. The Rams have turned those four high picks into eight players.
In the end, the Commanders traded the opportunity to draft Janoris Jenkins, Greg Robinson, Michael Brockers, Isaiah Pead, Rokevious Watkins, Alec Ogletree, Stedman Bailey, and Zac Stacy for 34 games of Robert Griffin III.
Everyone knew this was a lopsided trade, even back in 2012. Because of the sheer volume of picks involved, Griffin would have had to develop into one of the best quarterbacks in the league to justify the cost of losing four high draft picks.

He would've looked like a Pro Bowler if he would've threw better passes in the first half of that game. He left 3 TDs on the field.
What makes this even sweeter is the ignorance of the skins fanbase who argued to no end that giving up the draft picks was more than justified for a franchise QB and quiet a few of them even said they got the better end of the deal. . I'll never forget them talking about how RGiii was the class of the division and that Romo had nothing on him....They were actually debating how many SBs (notice the plural) he was going to bring to Washington single handedly. Reading extremeskins now makes it just that much better to see them recognize what I expected all along. RGIII was just another College stud that wasn't suited for the NFL game.
Ahhh that trip down memory lane was hilarious.
If you were in charge you would be worse than Jerry, you picked Romo over RG3 in the poll. Why would you take a 32 year old QB who may only have a couple of good years left over a 22 year old QB who has an incredible skill set and has already proven he can play at a very high level in the NFL?
