Would you trade a draft pick for RGIII?

[Pessimist_cowboy]

not with that 18 million dollar option he has coming, I'd pick him up as a street FA tho

Do we need a new equipment man ?

 

[jazzcat22]

As Garrett would say Not the RKG.

yep...and in this case RKG would be ....Robert "King" Griffin....in his own world....

not with that 18 million dollar option he has coming, I'd pick him up as a street FA tho

at 18 million, absolutely not, he's taken a huge fall since his first year when he was lights out and I think most of the problem in Washington is talent around him and he wouldn't fit this system, he's more of an option Qb and that wouldn't work here, Dallas needs a to draft and develop a pocket passer with the ability to move out of the pocket if need be with our offensive line

 

[CowboyGil]

He is arrogant and a cancer on a team, it is all about him and his brand. One of the reasons Gruden went with Colt (besides others) was he was going to lose the team if he stuck with Griffin. The team dislikes him that much.

Would want no part of him, he would not be a guy to sit behind Romo, without causing drama.

This is besides his other failings, has no pocket awareness or anticipation (will not throw to get a receiver open) and can't read defenses.

No and No.

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.

Any Dallas fan should already know the Cowboys don't sign Commander castoffs.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

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.

Good point.

 

[Verdict]

In a word .... No. If you trade him you take on his contract too. You get him cheap as a free agent if at all.

 

[conner01]

I wouldn't even take a pick from the Skins to take him. He is an absolute cancer a terrible QB and a guarenteed 3 steps backwards

i was thinking the same thing.

 

[cowboys1981]

I'd invest that pick in a QB that has two good knees.

 

[LandryFan]

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.

We, as fans, can debate all day long about whether a guy like Griffin should be brought in. Thankfully, for the reason highlighted above, I don't think this organization would even slightly consider bringing him in.

Would you trade a draft pick for RGIII?

No. Why would you give a perfectly good draft pick to the enemy? Just to find out what Washington already knows - RGIII is a much different QB than he was when they drafted him and he will never be any better? Trading a pick for RGIII is wasting a pick that could be used on the defense.

 

[AbeBeta]

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

Funny how some QBs get called leaders yet others are perceived as throwing guys under the bus for basically the same behaviors

It is all over the radio here in DC, you have Chris Cooley as an example who is still pretty close to the team (he does his show from Skins park) who does his film breakdown and reports what he is hearing from the players. But it is not just him, fairly widely reported here.

 

[Eddie]

I would send them a 12th round pick for Griffin.

 

[Chuck 54]

For a 6th or 7th, I would absolutely take a flier on him and approach it like he's a rookie, but only for a reasonable contract. He has the mobility and the arm, and he has had success prior to injury in the NFL. The Skins were a lousy team when they drafted him, and they sold any chance to build something around him to do that. Put him in the right situation as a developing backup on a team with an OL and he may yet become a quality starter.

Do you feel better about Weeden?

 

[Denim Chicken]

So, do you guys think that the trade to move up for RG3 is the worst in NFL history?

In that case no thanks.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

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?

McClain had problems in his life beyond football. RG3 just seems to be a pretty arrogant guy who doesn't have the drive to perfect his craft. He tasted some success in his first season and didn't know how to handle it. When things got bad he blamed others and got his coach fired. Now once again in the same situation this year with a different coach. Tried to blame others for his lack of progression as a QB and now hes benched. I wouldn't want to go to war with that guy.

 

[boysfanindc]

In that case no thanks.

Quote from Jason Ried's article from the post as another example:

Leaving Gruden to wonder about the young player’s priorities. When a team’s starting quarterback fails to “get it” on more levels than a head coach cares to count, that’s a problem. Factor in that Griffin continued to regress on the field — coaches wondered aloud how Griffin could consistently fail to locate so many open receivers — and Gruden had to take the keys from Griffin or risk losing the locker room.

RG3 has so many more issues then being a lousy pocket QB, his teammates did not want to play with him anymore, that says a lot in my mind about what type of leader, teammate and person he is.

This is not just about any potential he might have, it is currently that he is bad to have on your team.

With all the Skins gave up for this guy, how bad do you think it had to be for them to give up on this guy? I think they saw no hope.

He'll prolly be free. No need to spend anything.
