It is now official. RGIII will be a Redskin. Per Schefter:

No great surprise, it's what most expected, but Colts have told Andrew Luck they will take him with the No. 1 overall pick, per NFL source.

That was done once they got the second pick .... Skins were in a win/win situation at that point.

PFT just put it up.Honestly,I'd take RG3 over luck every time,but you can't lose with either guy.

sure but now reality is setting in. We can give him the full playbook, hopefully the colts will get their contract done quickly and we can act as fast as we did when signing players after midnight on fa so RGIII is there for every camp.

I think RGIII suits the DC area and Luck Indy. Its like Bird going to Boston and Magic to LA, it just feels right

Understand what you're saying and agree .... the bolded area is somewhat of a concern .... who's playbook / offensive scheme. Have they (Kyle) really devised a system that will best utilized RGIII's skills or will it end up being a trail/error system. Could be a scary thought ........

I don't think you need to devise a system for talented guys as much as you do scrubs. Mike's philosophy about offensive football should mesh perfectly with what Griff does.

This is exactly how I feel too. Though I'd gladly take Luck if Griffin went first, I believe this was the best scenario for both us and the Colts. Now lets get some guys to protect him and we'll be alright.

well talent is not always everything. IMO Good coaches have an overall philosophy, aquire talent to fit said philosophy, and then adjust scheme to take advantage of individual talents and shield individual weaknesses. So far Kyle has not shown he can do the latter part and the front office up until this year have not shown they can do the middle part, and I am not sure what the first part is, if it exists at all.

Perhaps this is the year where we will see that all come to fruition

Fortunately for us the kind of QB Mike covets is exactly who we appear to be drafting. Mobile, accurate, strong arm. No need for any significant adjustments, IMO.

not to start this whole debate again, but I wonder how much of Mike's system we are running and how much of kyle's system. The last two years I see little of Mike's run first philosophy that did well in denver

DaveKShape · #13 04-19-2012, 10:22 AM

I would have been happy with Luck too, but if there's any other prospect in the past few years that I would have wanted in his place, RG3 is definitely the guy. Can't wait to see what he can do for us (provided we use him correctly).

I liked the way we ran the ball before the O-Line injuries last year. It's my opinion that Mike's is the strongest voice in the room in terms of overall gameplan and specific strategy as to how to attack defenses.

Without a complete dumpster fire under center I think you'll be happy with what you see this season.

So how is Kyle supposed to prevent McNabb from throwing balls in the dirt? you cant hide that weakness, its something that McNabb has done his entire career. Is Kyle supposed to call all deep routes just so the ball gets in the air?

How does kyle hide Grossmans decision making? Rex is going to be a turnover machine no matter what you do, he has had like 10 years to learn to read defenses and avoid mistakes and still hasnt learned...

but then again, i guess everything is Kyles fault in your world....
