The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

This man is the frickin' bomb! His is easily as athletic as ANY QB (or player, for that matter) in the NFL. For example, he sprinted 13.46 in the 110-meter hurdles and 49.56 in the 400-meter hurdles as a junior in high school. He is more accurate than most. He has a bigger arm than most. He is smarter than most. He is a very high character guy. He is a leader. If the info in the last paragraph in the report below is correct I'd talk to him as soon as it's legal and draft him anyway and support his academics for a year with a salary if he'd take it.

I've included a short highlight reel link at the end of this post.

Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor

The legend of Griffin went to another level after he led Baylor to a 45-38 last second win over Oklahoma. It was the first win over the Sooners in school history. Griffin was 21-of-34 for 479 yards with four touchdowns. He showcased a huge arm, phenomenal accuracy, and leadership. Griffin has the 'it' factor where he raises the level of play of those around him. In crunch time, the junior takes his play to another level and comes through in the clutch.

A week ago, Griffin led Baylor to a 31-30 win at Kansas, completing 22-of-29 passes for 312 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. He also ran for 103 yards and a touchdown. Against Missouri, Griffin completed 27-of-41 passes for 406 yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions. Plus, he collected 64 yards and a score on the ground. Thus far in 2011, Griffin has completed 73 percent of his passes for 3,572 yards with 33 touchdowns and five interceptions. He has rushed for 550 yards and five touchdowns.

Griffin has been one of the best players in college football this season. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder is a big play machine. He has a strong arm and is extremely accurate throwing the ball. Griffin is also very intelligent and a high character individual. He has the makings of a franchise quarterback. The early hints are that Griffin is inclined to pull an Andrew Luck/Jake Locker/Matt Leinart and return to school for the 2012 season. Griffin has already graduated and is getting a masters this year. He has said he wants to do his first year of a law degree next year. That would put him in the 2013 draft, and Griffin could be a strong candidate to go at the very top.

if we want Griffin and he'd be available when we choose and he instead decides not to go into the draft, we should be able sue him! it would be utterly ridiculous and inexcusable for him to go back to school another year!!! you can do school any damn time. good grief. your window to be a pro QB and get set FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE financially in ONE signing bonus is very small.

(obviously i am being deliberately silly about suing him--- it's my way of saying i would be PISSED OFF if he does something as asinine as stay in school another year)

What....now we want to be an Option type team....???

How strong is the arm..?
Is he accurate....?
Is he fragile.....? One good lick and he's done for the season....?

RGIII!

I have a man crush on this guy and he would bring instant credibility to our offense. I think he is an awesome fit since the shannys love to roll out plus he has a damn good arm. Draft this guy!

Strong as if not stronger than Barkley's but that's my opinion

tribeofjudah wrote:Is he accurate....?

comp pct:

Robert Griffin III... 72.6 I'd say he's accurate, if you compare him to guys like Landry Jones (64.1), or Kirk Cousins (64.3). Then again Luck's (70.0) an Barkley's (69.1) are also sub par RGIII.

About as fragile as Cam

'course, you have to consider the context of the post... and board events at the time... to appreciate the humor. None the less... I would love to see Robert Griffin III in B&G... I think he's the real deal.

So how many first round picks to get this guy if the skins need to trade up? 3, 4, dare I say it and pull a Ditka? You simply don't win without a QB and if this guy helps them to the playoffs over the next decade, what do you think the skins should realistically give up to move up to select him? I say do whatever it takes. I'm sick of sub .500 records.

This franchise IS going to be a playoff contender because of a lot of factors .. NOT because of which QB we draft

We do need a good QB and I would love to see RG III in B&G

defense + the rest of the players on offense will have a lot more to do with the success of the QB (& this franchise)

having a good QB helps but we'll be a lot more consistent if the other players suit what we need to do AS A TEAM

THERE IS NO DOUBT our #1 priority is to draft a good QB ... hopefully not by giving up ANY picks



it's no coincidence that Aaron Rodgers looks so good with all the other players around him - that is a good team

Rodgers would help our franchise but we would still NOT be in the playoffs by just adding him to our group

Dude is a baller..he is even more better throwing in college than vick or newton

watch that

nuff said

more better...nuff said =)

i DO like this guy though!

I wouldn't mind RGIII, but prefer Barkley.

I'd trade anything to draft him hope we can pull it off

He's good, but Luck, Barkley, and Jones are better.

I think RG is a better athlete and is a great qb without some of the help those guys have. Kinda hard to compare but he is a beast. More tds then Inc passes over half way through the year? Ya ill take it

I hear that Kyle likes Heath Shuler.

Book it!

They will be in the right spot to draft this guy in the first. I just dont know if they will like him over Barkley. They both are good qb's but I think we have lacked athletisim at the qb position for years and it would be nice seeing this guy make plays when the play breaks down. Look how important peyton has been to the colts so yes one guy can change a franchise. If we go QB, WR, then OL, I think we will be in great shape. We just need one good draft. Dont forget we have Hankerson and Jenkins next year. Take care of the line and qb this draft then next draft we go MLB and Corner.

This is NOT Fantasy Football or baseball, where a couple of good players can make a difference

We need to find a QB to start and ALSO to draft a QB that we can get ready to play ASAP

Next season, EVEN if we have Tom Brady AND draft Andrew Luck it will not make much difference IF we don't have the players around them on both offense AND defense that suit what our OC and DC want to get done

We need to draft a QB that can become a good QB
BUT - WE ALSO NEED to acquire players that suit the players already here
AND THEN - WE NEED both Kyle and Haslett to do better jobs than they have done here recently
more so Kyle than Haslett BUT both need to game plan better

THIS IS A TEAM GAME

the Colts still have both Mathis and Freeney as DEs - Peyton didn't play defense - the Colts are NOT playing well AS A TEAM

We are NOT far off from competing for a playoff berth, we just need to continue the job these 2 guys have started

Snyder HAS to stay away from ANYTHING to do with the players

Fixed it for ya

^^ thanx for 'fixing' that - He's got to be itchin' to get back in - hopefully he let's these guys work this out

we are still in dire straits but these guys should get at least another year


RG III does look like a very promising player but it's the intangibles that will decide who these guys bring in

It's the ShannAllen intangibles that I'm starting to worry about
