Would you trade a draft pick for RGIII?

In fairness one head coach. I'm not sure Gruden qualifies.

I think Gruden qualifies. I see no leadership quality from RGIII his move of throwing teammates under the bus was way off base. I think RGIII is very athletic but when it comes to the QB spot I don't think he has what it takes to lead and his skills as a drop back passer are not that good.

2 out of 2 HC can't be wrong. RGIII is not a leader and is not that good. He had a very good year his rookie season but in large part because of the running game and his own ability to run the option. He is a 1 read guy and his lastest move of throwing teammates under the bus iced it for me. I don't want him any where near this team

Really?

Gruden has been a real disaster. Hard to qualify him as a HC whose opinion is valuable here. Let's not forget we also saw a promising Cousins go from a guy who looked like a legit starter to 3rd string on his watch.

There is clearly something screwed up with Griffin now but he's not getting any real coaching at this point

Nope, RG has leg issues QBs live by their legs and lower body. Ro had family matters that were on his mind, he took time off to work through them.

This is correct. That dislocated ankle usually puts guys out for the year. Credit Griffin with wanting to play. Blame the (real) HC, Snyder for not shutting him down

in his 1st season. he walked into this mess and will not be corrected overnight. This move he is making I think it right, players in that locker room do not want RGIII. Blaming others for RGII sorry not buying it. I don't want any part of him, Dallas has gone a long way to get rid of and avoid players like RGIII I think that would be a major step backwards.

I'm sorry. I'm just not seeing how he's such a problem. Just more of the same old stereotypes hitting a new target. He's not playing well. That is true. But that's the only truth here.

I get all the negativity about him, but Rolando McClain was in a similar situation before he join the team and look where he is now, don't you think?

No it's not similiar . The Commanders have a pro bowl RB and two pro bowl Wrs, a pro bowl LT , and a good defense . The guy is immature , inaccurate , and has horrible mechanics .

Maybe Chippy will sign him, since he wanted him at Oregon. Yeah, I like that idea. Me thinks Chippy thinks he can turn any QB into a HOFer with his "system".

Put RG-me in the Tebow pile....move on...keep grooming Vaughan, unless a QB in the draft drops to us.

Ro was not an overrated college player. RO did not need to be the "man". Ro has not thrown his mates under the bus. Ro doesn't blame other people for his issues. Ro doesn't have a daddy that needs to part of an entourage and decision making. Sorry nothing like the Rg-me bum

QB's do not throw teammates under the bus, as a leader for him to do that was way off base, players in that locker room would rather have Colt or Cousins over RGIII. His best season his rookie year Washington threw the ball fewer times than any team, he does not make good reads he locks in on 1 and throws. His mechanics suck. If you think he is good fine I don't and I do not want this guy at all. I don't think Dallas needs another HC QB like we had with QC

No thanks. Rather take a flyer on a Jake Locker as a backup reclamation project.

The only player our idiot GM is interested in trading for is Manziel....watch to see if Cleveland signs Hoyer to a long term deal.....I suspect another Henson deal,

According to various analysts, he's done in Washington. Some said that his problem is mostly on his mind, that the "talent" is still there... Personally, i would gamble even a third if he passes some evaluation.

Problem is that he has not settled into the pocket passer role. There is talk here in DC that he didn't do enough "homework." So, either you put him in the play option scheme that worked well in 2012 or you treat him as a long term development project. Not sure either option makes sense for the Cowboys....

That pro bowl RB was yet another "made by Mike Shanahan" guy. He's ok, but nothing special with Shanahan gone. Jackson is already becoming the same jerk that Philly would rather cut than put up with. The deep ball is about all he's got. Garcon is pretty good, I admit. I'm not even sure that Williams is as good as most Commander fans think he is. He's not bad but he is a middle of the pack player IMO.

You are right about Bob though. He is horrible.

Three number 1 picks and a 2nd round pick. Good God... that is what we term "franchise crippling".

I would not take him
I am worried that if cut he signs in Philly to play under chip. He could be pretty good in that system with McCoy next to him . I don't want that.
