RGIII a future Texan?

NBT · #1 10-19-2011, 02:54 PM

If QB RGIII from Bayloor is available in the second round of this next draft, would you give up a second for him?

Joshua · #2 10-19-2011, 03:29 PM

I haven't watched RGIII closely enough to have a specific opinion on him, but I have absolutely no problem with us spending a high draft pick on a QB. In fact, I would welcome it.

No. He has better throwing mechanics than Vince Young but he's essentially Vince Young. His game doesn't translate to the NFL. By the fifth round, I *might* consider him depending on how his combine/pro day appearances go.

He is listed as 6-3 and 210lbs, for an NFL QB a little on the small side. Yes I know there are exceptions to the rule, but I am not looking for a QB playing in a gimmick offense.

As Joshua said, I would welcome an early QB in this draft, but not sure if this is the right guy.

Where have I heard this before.....oh yea, when Cam Newton was being evaluated.

He's not stinking it up after all in Carolina, I've seen this kid play, he's legit.

While I would lean more Blitz's way than Bob's, I don't see this kid being available in the 2nd. Too many QB needy teams out there, plus, I think the kid can flat out play. Better/more accurate than VY, with lesser talent around him, IMO.

Our draft will hinge on our success this year. We win the division, Kubiak stays and gets an extension. Schaub is tied to him, and will likely receive the same extension.

We lose, new regime will likely want "their" QB, so there's really no telling what would/could happen. Could end up picking 1 mid 1st. With the new salary structure, not as big of a deal to draft a QB of the future and let him sit while Schaub plays out his contract.

Just my opinion.

Not so much here but on other boards, I was saying that Newton had excellent throwing mechanics and a tight spiral, something I never saw from Young or Tebow. What I questioned about Newton was his maturity. Is he the sort of kid that's not going to read defenses or not going to stay out of trouble? But I had no questions about his physical skills.

I haven't watched a lot of Baylor games but I haven't been wowed by Griffin's passing skills. What makes him exceptional is his legs. I will say, however, that his completion percentage has been exceptional this year but Vince also led the NCAA in completion pct. in his junior year.

Thanks gents, I appreciate your comments.

If Kubs doesn't turn this team around, and I mean start winning again by beating the Titans, We will be in another dismal 3 year rebuilding cycle, after he is gone. I don't know if I could take that. But then, what's the alternative?

Kubs is trying to turn the playcallin over to the OC and just control the game, but this one is not a Baby Shanny, and I don't think he is taking to it very well.

I don't agree at all. There is more than enough talent on the roster to where a competent head coach could come aboard and win immediately. There's not Super Bowl talent (yet), but there is definitely playoff talent.

He has little in common with young other than race. He is undersized but a fantastic passer. Nobody throws a deep ball half as well in college football. Also one if the most accurate passers in the NCAA (total opposite of young).

Still standing by this one, or would you chance a 4th rounder on him?

He certainly has improved his throwing mechanics since then. Thanks for dredging up that old, old post I made.

And, no, he's not going to be drafted by the Texans, which was the topic I was addressing.

All in fun. The truth is any of us who has posted more than once has been spectacularly wrong on here plenty of times.

And I think the throwing mechanics were fine before, you were just associating him with Vince Young for some reason.

And as a sidenote, Griffin signed with UH originally and only went to Baylor because he followed Briles.

Appears RG3 is going to Washington as Redskins traded up to no 2 slot in this years draft.

Probably a good decision.

All. They gave up to Rams is a first and second this year and first in two following years.
