Well you know what, if I owned an NFL franchise, I'd have drafted him first too.

/The Suck for Luck campaign paid off

Not sure what's crazy about that. It's the Redskins.

I guess it might be crazy to believe them.

Has the smell of selfishness. If he's any good a nickel says he holds out one day. But it'll be about respect, not the money.

They said they would have drafted him first, unless Heath Shuler was available.

It costs the Redskins nothing to blow that smoke and could gain them some good will toward getting a deal done. Of course, now RG3 can hold out and ask to be paid like the #1 Washington allegedly told him they considered him.

The rookie salary cap says that won't happen. First round contracts are specified in the CBA.

I don't think he can get any more money due to the rookie wage scale.

Luck is going to be very disappointing.

I was watching some of the draft coverage on the news. I saw that there were fans at FedEx field watching the draft on the jumbotron. I wonder how much Snyder was charging them for that.

Increased Your Resolution

Trust me, as a listener to the Wash DC local sports media, the 'who would you rather have - Luck or Griffin' scenario was played out over and over and it was about 60/40 Griffin. It is the Redskins personnel department we are talking about. daniel snyder. they would do it.

I was not surprised about this, but not even 20 minutes after RGIII was actually drafted, I got an email from the Redskins Team Store trying to huck merchandise.

I love you Dan.

RG3 is a better fit for the Redskins playing in the NFC East. QB;s are getting more mobile in it. Philly pass rush is going to be scary this year, and would kill Luck.

Considering it's the Redskins we're talking about, all the Colts or Rams had to do was float one "gee, this Tannehill kid looks really good..." nugget to the media, and he probably ends up in DC...after trading the house for the second or even 1st pick.

Yeah, Luck is just slow. Cam Newton could get away with it, though. Because Cam Newton's fast.

/wait, they ran the same 40 times? Whoops.

Cam isn't RG3, and doesn't play in the NFC East either. Link

Redskins have to be careful with Griffin now. They cannot afford for him to get hurt. They have to assume he will meet or exceed his potential, and protect him as much as they can so that he is still upright and on the field later on down the road when they will need him.

Luck runs a 4.6 40, he's not exactly a statue out there.

RGIII is farked because the Redskins aren't going to be able to put anything around him and don't have any more 1st round picks for a dog's age. I want to see him do well but I don't think it's going to happen in DC.

Luck isn't mobile enough?! What the fark is this shiat?!

muck4doo: Cam isn't RG3, and doesn't play in the NFC East either. Link

I know he's not. I'm saying it doesn't require 4.4 speed to get by in the NFC East - Griffin is now the only one of 'em that is fast (since Vick will continue to miss more than half the season with injuries, as he does every year).

No, he isn't a statue, but RG3 is more mobile. Which was my point. I like RG3 as a player, but do kind of hope you're right. I am a Dallas fan after all. :)

When you're getting chased around as much as I think RG3 will be, every little bit of extra speed helps.

I absolutely believe they told him that. Hell, I would have told him that too.

Romo and Manning are not more mobile than Luck, and they seem to be doing fine.

I'll bet most teams wouldn't mind paying him a little money and a lot of respect. Can you write respect into a contract?

Eli won't be getting chased around as much as RG3. Hey, I get it. Luck is fast. I'm not saying he isn't. I just think RG3 is the better fit for the Redskins with the extra speed he brings.

ChrisDe: I'll bet most teams wouldn't mind paying him a little money and a lot of respect. Can you write respect into a contract?

I like the guy personally and I think he'll do fine. I just think it was something better left unsaid. Jesus, you win all these awards and national praise and a team sells the farm to get you but you feel the need to point that out? Why?

Hi Redskins Management!
Negotiation. How does it work?
Competition at position. How does it work?
PR...OK, you got that one, but it was at the expense of the above.

I believe they will put clauses in his contract where he gets a yearly "props" roster bonus as well as quarterly installments of "love" and weekly "daps" from each of his coaches.

Who is the last big 12 QB to really stick though? Colt mccoy?

I fail to see how Griffith is any different, he seems like a great college QB but bust in the nfl.

I don't see that since rgIII seems more frail, I fully see him getting nailed the first year and missing most of the season.

This guy is doomed. He is owner Dan Snyder's next big thing. Has a single one of Dan Snyder's "next big things" as a football owner ever worked out? Of course they didn't, because so far as football is concerned, Snyder has the septic touch----everything he touches turns into sh*t. This will be no different. Griffin is now on the fast track to oblivion, and the only question remains is what will be the method of his destruction. Will he turn out to be mediocre at best? Will he suffer a career ending injury? Will he get thrown in jail? Will a meteorite fall on his head? Regardless of what it is, the man is already condemned to failure, due to his association with septic touch Snyder.

fta: Robert Griffin III says Redskins would have drafted him first ahead of Luck


pfft...negro puh-lease!

Telling #2 you'd have picked him #1 is a white lie akin to telling your wife her butt does not look big in those jeans. There are times when telling the truth is just the wrong thing to do.

I love that Luck is "slow" and Griffin is "fast".

You know... 'cause one is white, and one... isn't.

Nice!!

No Day 2 draft thread?

A few months ago, I listed how I thought the QBs in the draft were ranked by the scouts. I put Tannehill third and some jackhole responded "you know how I know you don't know what you're talking about?" because I had the audacity to say Tannehill was ranked higher than Nick Foles. I wish I remembered who it was. If you're reading this, out yourself and I'll taunt you with a Nelson "ha-ha" pic.

You must be watching a different NFL than I do. Romo was nearly killed a dozen times last year alone
