If i was RG3 i will ask for a trade right now
Between this and the "Cousins starts we lose" thread............. not a good week of "predictions/foresight" for fusho2.

Sometimes, you're wrong... and sometimes, you're still wrong.

Before the draft, our greatest need was at QB - we drafted RG3
we ALSO drafted Cousins .. in the hope that we NEVER need to see Grossman play QB here again
we now have depth at the QB position - that cannot be a bad thing
Just for some context, in 1994 (?) Mel Kiper:
- praised Heath Shuler and Trent Dilfer as best of the best, can't miss QB's
- decided that Shuler was the star QB the Redskins had never had in the Gibbs years
- complained that the ex-Baltimore Colts were insulting him by NOT drafting a QB after dumping Jeff George and then drafting Marshall Faulk

thanks welch - you do have a knack for keeping things in perspective
I thought that Cousins put this franchise in a pretty good position today ...
obviously, we can choose to go forward with these 2 QBs for another year or so ...
OR ................
it's going to be an interesting off season again ...

He's been proven wrong in so many ways I have to believe even he suspects something is off . . .
Why stop there
After missing out on RGIII they gave up a fourth, fifth and seventh round pick
to move from No. 4 to No. 3 to draft a guy that has about 400 less in rushing yards and a YPC avg that is more than a yard lower than a guy the Redskins drafted in the sixth round (could have picked him up in the 4th or 5th rd had they not moved up ONE spot). Trent only has about 150 yards more than RGIII

Sure, Kiper doesn't always get it right, but I have a lot of respect for him. He has a passion for football (college football especially) and he threw him self in head first. He went from nothing to become a major player at ESPN and a nationally renown draft expert. I mean, ask the man for an opinion from a backup center at Directional State University and he'll have one, he's seen one of his games.
He's going to be wrong about guys, hell, even Bobby Beathard gleefully drafted Ryan Leaf, but he's very good at his job. Entertaining.
