RG III Benched

[MikeB]

Goodbye Robert Griffen

Hello Colt McCoy

 

[MikeB]

Somebody said that the only way that the Redskins could get a 6th round pick for him is if they threw in a 5th round pick.

I hear Michael Vick and Geno Smith is available

Very difficult for these college system quarterbacks to succeed in the pros.

3 number 1 draft picks and a #2 for this!!

LMFAO

Note: in his MMQB column this week, Peter King pointed out how many players the Rams got out of this deal.


Turns out to be an 8-for-1 trade, with four starting players (as of today) but no superstars harvested by Rams GM Les Snead. But any team that thought it had its long-term starting quarterback (as St. Louis did with Sam Bradford in the spring of 2012, pre-double-knee-injury) in the house would absolutely have made the trade if told this: Trading the number two overall pick will yield four starting players three seasons down the line. Amazing, to me, that as it turns out, St. Louis traded the number two overall pick in 2012, and got the number two overall pick in 2014—and seven more choices:

Year	Overall pick	Player	Ram résumé
2012	14	Michael Brockers, DT, LSU	Started 39 games. Just 23 years old.
	39	Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama	Above-average cover man; 37 starts.
	50	Isaiah Pead, RB, Cincinnati	On IR, but no future with Rams.
	150	Rokevious Watkins, T, South Carolina	Gone after one unsuccessful year.
2013	30	Alec Ogletree, OLB, Georgia	Emerging star. Just what Rams thought.
	92	Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia	Special-teams ace, backup WR.
	160	Zac Stacy, RB, Vanderbilt	Former starter; out of rotation recently
2014	2	Greg Robinson, T, Auburn	Starting LT struggles vs. speed-rushers

Hello Colt McCoy

Have not seen any today. If this is not a joke..... I say AMEN! Should have had his ass benched much sooner.

 

[MikeB]

I'm just waiting for the JETS to sign him

The haul would have looked even better if the dumbass rams did not draft Greg Robinson over Jake Matthews.
