17 Josh Allen Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 This is the 8th "trade for RG3" thread started here this off season. What makes yours so...special? because today there was new info through the beat reporter of the Skins saying RG3 could be had in a trade if it brought a QB back to the Skins. Gruden is using the media which would be to say he wants him gone That's why
prissythecat Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 If RG3 is a bust then EJ is a total failure. let me get this straight RG3 had one of the best Years a rookie QB ever had in NFL History and he is still very young. This guy needs a coach that can work with him. That's like you having a boss at your work saying bad things about you. Then saying he can't work with you because you don't fit into there concepts and plans. How long will it be before your fired or you look for a new Job. Does that make you a bad guy. Does that mean you can't be successful and work some where else and be productive. Use your eyes look at what RG3 was before the Injury and all this miss handling and rushing him back. RG3 guy is and always will be a Franchise QB. EJ is a pretender, there not cut from the same cloth. RG3 is healthy, he has recoverd from his Injuries. He needs a change of scenery and a coach that can mold him and use his God given talents. Is RG3 a primadona sure he is show me what QB isn't. But he is the perfect fit for what Roman is trying to do. You know what they say one mans trash is another mans treasure. Can RG3 succeed as a pocket QB? If not , don't see how you can consider him to be a franchise QB.
17 Josh Allen Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Roman wants a QB like Kapernick RG3 is better then Kapernick hence the reason to make the trade being clueless is not an excuse of not knowing what type of QB that Roman wants.
BrooklynBills Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 EJ Manuel has no trade value and the Redskins gave two QB on their roster better than him. Trading for RG3- I'm all for it. But they will want draft picks, not EJ Manuel.
Tintonfallsbillsfan Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Hard to way what is up with Rg His rookie season was great, then he has not been exactly healthy
17 Josh Allen Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 I guess you did not read the articles from today they want a QB in return neither has EJ been healthy
Deranged Rhino Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Roman wants a QB like Kapernick RG3 is better then Kapernick hence the reason to make the trade being clueless is not an excuse of not knowing what type of QB that Roman wants. I don't think it's certain roman wants a QB like Kap at all.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 see Redskins beat Reporter and Gruden leaker of info from yesterday http://sportsglory.com/nfl/jay-gruden-wants-redskins-to-trade-robert-griffin-iii/38207 Its being talked about and reported on ESPN'S web page today that the Skins head coach Gruden wants RG3 gone. It just not his style of Qb that fits his offense You can't really force a square peg into a round hole and thats why he wants him gone. When you read the questions in the mail bag. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2405097-redskins-mailbag-part-2 http://espn.go.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/16163/redskins-mailbag-part-2-65 The reporter speculates that it will take a QB coming back to the Skins to get a trade completed. I think Gruden really likes Colt Mccoy and I think he will win the job. It does not make sense to keep RG3 because he is going to walk anyways. The water is poisoned In Washington for RG3. He will want a fresh start so the Skins would be wise to move him while they can still get something for him before he leaves via free agency. If you read the tea leaves and can forecast the future my bet is they will trade RG3 and probably do it at the draft. My question is would you trade E.J Manual and a middle round draft pick for RG3. I know I would, I am really hoping this goes down. I do not see how the Skins can go through another year of Drama and have him be the back-up to Colt McCoy. I really think they are going to move RG3 and if the Bills can land him and get him some good coaching under Roman then we are ready for a Superbowl run. I am on record of fully supporting this move. I hope it happens. I can't wait for the draft to see all moves and trades. If the Rams and Eagles can swap QB'S why not the Bills and Skins, it would do both players good to get a restart on there careers. no to bum knees
Kelly the Dog Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I fear that RG3 is too slender and frail to do what he needs to do, and what made him great as a rookie. He can't take the pounding of the NFL as a running QB. And if he can't run he is not nearly the threat. His mechanics have also totally broken down. It's possible, because of his natural talent, that if his head gets on straight, on another team, without Dan Snyder and with new coaching, that he could become a good QB in this league. But he doesn't seem to be doing to right things or taking the right action. I probably wouldn't try to trade for him, but if we did, I would tell him that Cassell is likely to be the starter, and that you will need to do everything you can to beat him out. That means know the playbook better, practice better, and beat him out on the field, in OTAs, training camp and preseason. We are giving you every chance to win the job but you are not getting it. Then see what happens.
17 Josh Allen Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Then why did they sign Tyrod Taylor they need a threat of a QB that can run. RG3 does not have to run like he did before but the threat of it will be there. he is a great passer too
Bill from NYC Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I probably wouldn't try to trade for him, but if we did, I would tell him that Cassell is likely to be the starter, and that you will need to do everything you can to beat him out. That means know the playbook better, practice better, and beat him out on the field, in OTAs, training camp and preseason. We are giving you every chance to win the job but you are not getting it. Then see what happens. Your course of action is sound, but are you saying that you would rather have EJ on the Bills than RG?
17 Josh Allen Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) If the Bills made a trade for RG3 it would be 75 percent for it and 25 percent against it. and the word most talked about would be the Bills are one of 3 favorites to go to the Super Bowl in the AFC , Pats , Den and Buffalo and this board would melt down.

coseybedaman Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Anyone who thinks RG3 would be a BAD thing in Buffalo is just plain ignorant. Out of every free agent, almost every traded QB over the past few years, and everyone on our roster, RG3 is the only guy who has shown significant ability at the NFL level. I am not saying he is a slam dunk, but there was a reason this guy was a pro bowler, 2nd overall pick, rookie of the year, and a playoff QB. We dont have anyone even close to that pedigree. Not to mention the guy has a reasonable rookie contract for next season as well. Its a joke to say RG3 couldnt be a huge upgrade for this team. P.S. not to mention this guy was always a high character player before the Redskins stuck him out on the field with a horrible injury only to watch it get worse. Now they are going to dump him? NFL loyalty for you. Trust me I am NO FAN of this guy, but comparing him to what we have or the Josh McCowns of the world is laughable. Edited March 22, 2015 by coseybedaman
Kelly the Dog Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Your course of action is sound, but are you saying that you would rather have EJ on the Bills than RG? I really don't know to tell you the truth. I watched RG3 at the end of last year and he was terrible. If we trade and just hand him the job I will be excited to watch and see what he can do but I don't think he is the right fit for this offense UNLESS he changes dramatically. EJ is ok. I personally think that RG3 is shot and never going to be good again, so I think the chance of him becoming a franchise QB is close to the same chance as EJ, which is, say, less than 20%. But we only know so much from afar. Between Rex, Roman and Whaley, even though they haven't hit on franchise QBs before, they are smart guys and know football. They are not going to trade for RG3 just for the name and splash, IMO. They would know a lot more about what has happened to him and if he has his head in the game than I do. I see a crappy QB right now.
17 Josh Allen Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 it's only a joke to the people on this board who hate him. most logic thinking football fans know this would be a good move. Hell we might even cut EJ later this year. that's why you make the trade.
coseybedaman Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I think there is still a small chance that EJ can play. He was never going to be good with Hackett & Marrone just like Kyle Orton wasnt. I am just worried his confidence is too far gone. I trust Doug Whaley and he saw EJ as a guy he "had to have" so it will be interesting to see if he has given up on him yet. I think a Bradford or Foles trade would have indicated we gave up on EJ. I am not so sure Matt Cassel indicates that.
BuffaloBill Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 it's really not that difficult. It's MANUEL, not MANUAL Did you read the manual on Manuel?
