It is a LOCK that that QB R2D2-CP3O is going to suck in the NFL.

**OldHickory** · 05-03-12, 11:00 PM

He gotta good d to rely on . If helu develops they'll be good . Already have a decent TE and they brought in some WRs for him . RGlll just gonna have a hard time with the media because their gonna compare him to cam all year long and it's gonna be difficult to do what cam did last year

**mh217** · 05-03-12, 11:03 PM

Seems well spoken, intelligent, articulate..has skills..no need to be down on him..wish him the best..plenty of other proven scumbags out there to hate on..I say give the kid the benefit of the doubt.

**frogsrangers** · 05-03-12, 11:04 PM

I think he will bust because he only had one good year in college.

I remember any decent defense would shut him down in 2010. TCU made him look like a pee wee QB especially.

He never faced any good defenses in the Big 12 and the good defenses he did face(again, 2010 TCU) shut him down easy.

Now that he is going to be facing more athletic, smart, and physical defenses he will have to adjust, and I am not seeing it. I think in the end he will be a poor man's Michael Vick

lol no one would ever use that description if he was white

fyi...he's the second ever academic all american to win the heisman....shockingly (not really) tebow wasnt the first

cam newton turned out to be incredibly good. who knows.

**ttwarrior1** · 05-03-12, 11:09 PM

and he's not 6 2

**paranoyd androyd** · 05-03-12, 11:12 PM

Yeah he seems like the perfect bust, but is pretty likeable so I'll pull for him.

**baskets** · 05-03-12, 11:21 PM

Vince Young turned about to be a great QB. Young was 10x better than R2D2 and owned the college game

**k13** · 05-08-12, 07:56 AM

Playing for the Redskins....obviously.

But people think Newton had a "great" year.

**jjgold** · 05-08-12, 07:59 AM

Black QB's have a very hard time in NFL and most are not winners

**Sam Odom** · 05-08-12, 08:02 AM

He's got a white gurl so he is already a Winner

redskins setting him up to fail by drafting cousins.

**icancount2one** · 05-09-12, 03:56 AM

Great #2 pick, very high ceiling.

Not worth what they paid to get him though. Too many eggs in one basket if the worst were to happen to the kid. Another impatient Redskin move.

**Easy-Rider 66** · 05-09-12, 04:58 AM

Had a bookie tell me once that he never put money on them Black QB's. Baskets I would think you would agree with that sentiment.

**wtt0315** · 05-09-12, 05:30 AM

Read something that in the last 50 years that when two qbs are selected 1-2 that one of them has always been a bust.

Carolina offense was anemic in 2010. With basically the same cast of characters ,and adding Newton they had a good offense in 2011. Ranked 5th in the league at 25 points per game. Won 2 games in 2010, 6 in 2011. Jury is still out on Newton, but he did exceed expectations. Are you saying he an average year?

**seaborneq** · 05-09-12, 06:13 AM

Rg3 has to be spectacular and luck has to be solid to justify their draft picks. Go figure.

Bringing up an RG3 game from 2010 really means something. How about when he threw 5 TD's last season against TCU?

**baskets** · 05-09-12, 07:19 AM

he is going to suck as pro

quick, name me a top 5 qb who voted for obama in the game today?

or name me a top 5 Irish wide receiver in the game today?

and you know that the fact this pick was made by Snyder's team... that just about sealed it in all eternity

agree

during the probowl newton wasnt nearly as good as other nfc qbs

**detroitlionsfan** · 05-09-12, 04:11 PM

rg3 will be a good fantasy qb like newton

who else is gonna score for the redskins

**ShawNee922** · 05-09-12, 04:45 PM

He is doomed...

#2 pick.

yes sir, he's dumb

RG III needs major dental job

**Scorpion** · 05-10-12, 04:52 PM

RG III = Akili Smith

**slacker00** · 05-11-12, 06:54 PM

He'll be a day 1 starter for all they gave up to get him, basically 3 1/2 first rounders.

**slacker00** · 05-12-12, 11:08 PM

"Lock", hmmm, fade.

**Nflmikes** · 05-13-12, 03:20 AM

**GunShard** · 05-13-12, 05:04 AM

He doesn't have receivers, Cam Newton has a good receiver.

**d2bets** · 05-17-12, 11:23 PM

RG3 seems like a class act. Hard not to root for this kid. I'm not quite sure if he'll be the next big thing, but I think he'll be around for a long time if he stays healthy.

**Marigold HD** · 05-19-12, 10:14 AM

Im definetly going to cheer for him like I did for Newton last year. No use hating anyone.

This sounds about right.

garcon is a pretty good one

redskins overall better than panthers

Robert Griffin III (video)	QB	6'2	220	Baylor
National Football Post: Washington had to pay a pretty penny, but it got its QB of the future. RG3 is an ideal fit for Washington's offense with his ability to be effective in the boot-action game and create big plays down the field with his arm and legs outside the pocket. NFL ceiling: Effective starter with some Pro Bowls along the way. NFL Floor: Turnover prone, below average starter.
