Redskins Give Up Three #1′s For Robert Griffin III
BREAKING NEWS, News, NFC News, NFL Saturday, March 10th, 2012
The Eagles will be battling Robert Griffin III two times a year throughout his career because the Washington Redskins have agreed to a deal with the St. Louis Rams to acquire the second pick in this year’s draft.
The Redskins have agreed to give the Rams their first round pick in 2012, 2013 and 2014, plus their second pick in 2012 as well. That’s a lot to give up and it could put Griffin in a position where he’s not playing with much talent around him.
Right now their offensive line is a joke. Their receivers are nothing to write home about. Their running game is shaky at best. The defense is a question mark, plus the coaching staff itself with head coach Mike Shanahan hasn’t proven to be very effective.
Jeff Fisher and the Rams will have plenty of picks to use to put enough talent around Sam Bradford to give St. Louis a great to win a title.

Monolith, you keep pointing out that these coaches won nothing, but isn’t that EXACTLY what Reid’s done? To make matters worse, it’s been 14 friggin years with him.
If coming close makes you happy, great for you, but he hasn’t been close in a while and he won’t be close ever again. To make matters worse, he should have won, but he refused to get receivers and linebackers when we were close. As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing worse than knowing we could have won, but didn’t.
This bum Reid lost how many playoff games in which he was favored? It’s some kinda record, isn’t it? You’d better get over it, cause Reid sucks!
I still love you, dude!
Did it cost the Eagles 3 firsts and a second to get him?
Stevo…Skins are going up 2 number 1′s…..They are swapping picks this year.
Songs, and…..are you that shortsighted that you just ooverlook 2 1rsts and 1 2nd rounder in the next few years? Wow, you got problems
For wahtever it’s worth,
I think this is a good deal for trhe Redskins who have been mired in mediocrity for 10 years now and need a real Franchise QB.. Is RGIII the Answer, who knows, but they had to do something and with no other QB’s out there on the Market (Peyton Manning already told the Redksins he was not interested in joining them or any other team in the NFC East to directly compete with Eli) the Redksins decided to pul;l the trigger… Shannahan is in year 4 of a 5 year deal and want to grrom his son (OC Kyle) as the next HC of the Redksins.. This is the perfect opportunity for him and Kyle to get a promising young QB in and Coach him up to lead the Redksins back to a potential PLayoff Team.. I don’t see where they had much other choice..
Drum your right on all points brother, can’t argue any of that which you have said we are on point with that. My thing is that we sometimes act like he was the worst for us when in truth we was in fact the best we have ever had during the superbowl era that is, he is not what he was but don’t act like he never was, come on brothers that is arrogance on our part.
Further arrogance is that someone owes us a Superbowl, they owe us the best effort every yearto get there and win thats all they owe us. Now I admit that the Eagles maybe guilty of not giving us the best effort on some seasons and I will stand with you on those complaints you are right on with that.
Its like a man who had a hot wife, not as hot as the guy down the street but better than mostly all other wifes. The guy complains to himself and his buddies about how hot the guy down the street wife is, and why he couldn’t have a hotter wife. Now this guy’s wife puts on a few pounds and this guy goes on about how his wife has been a pig their whole marraige.
You see the wife was not a pig the whole marraige, she recently put on the pounds, but she was one of the hottest wifes out, just not the hottest.
Now if this guy wants to leave her for the weight gain and getting slack fine, but he would be silly to go ranting about how she has always been a pig.
The point I was making was that outside of Reid and one stint with Vermeil you guys have never been really deep in the playoffs, never been to the conference champ, never been to the superbowl, rarely had back to back 11 plus seasons or triple seasons over 11 games.
Yeah his teams coked the big ones, but mostly those teams that beat us went on to win the big dance or showed a stunning performance that confirmed why they were there and not us.
The worst historians are the revisionist and the nagators…..those who look back and say what was never was; and those who look back and say what was was only becasue “Hey we played in a weak division, the conferance sucked,we got lucky, the coaches on ther teams were sub par yada yada yada”
Not complain is not with the present complaints it is with the arrogant redition of our past, for some reason it irks mean and clouds my view of anything some guys say when they comment.
Yeah I no, sorry for the novel brothers, but I am not an everyday man here so I get a long post credit. Right? haaaaaa you guys are funny, stay tuned brothers hopefully we will all have to eat our words on Reid this season when we win that Bowl game.
Finally I want us to win the Bowl, for all you loyal Eagle fans, but at this point I want Reid to win one also.
Peace brothers!!!!!
The Redskins get 1 pick and gave up 4.
So there is a net lost of two 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder
A few of the eagles recent 1st round picks from 2001 -2010
Freddie Mitchell – good hands, contributed
Jerome McDougal – complete bust
Shawn Andrews- nut case
Broderick Bunkley – never got penetration – average
Brandon Graham – contributed nothing
A great QB can be the foundation of a francise for the next 12 years.
With free agency and their remaining draft picks, the redskins can put a winner on the field.
I thought redskins were stupid for letting McNabb go, but since he stunk up the joint in Minnesota, I like the courage they showed to let a bum go, no matter what his resume.
Now that the Giants have won 2 superbowls during the Andy Reid era, let’s hope the Redskins can lay a foundation for success for the next decade.
Then we will have more excuses for why Andy Reid has not won a superbowl and keep him for another 5 years. As long as he stays competitive and promises “to do a better job of putting the players in a better position to win.”
Whether they succeed or not. The Redskin Owner really does want to win a Superbowl.
Jeffrey Loser just wants to win enough games to keep fans buying merchandise, and tickets.
BSM – actually, check profootballtalk.com… the Redskins are also being docked millions by the league out of their salary cap because of how they mismanaged last year – as opposed your favorite front office – the Eagles. Same goes for the Cowboys.
BSM, again, you have the right to be frustrated, but you don’t have the right to say stupid shit – “Jeffery (Lurie) just wants to win enough games to keep fans buying merchandise, and tickets. YOU STUPID STUPID MAN. Winning a superbowl is by all means the BEST thing an owner can do to keep fans buying merch and tix. If you think otherwise, get your head checked. And the Eagles HAVE spent money. They HAVE traded draft pickst before – they’ve been criticized for both, but don’t act like they are dormant or timid in free agency or draft trades because that just demonstrates that your point of view disregards one key element: REALITY.
Yeah, sit there and root for the Redskins to fuel your Reid/front office hate. Because it’s clear you’ve become a much bigger Eagles front office hater than an Eagles fan. Sad, really really pathetic.
THis is an interesting move given Shannahan’s disdain for “Super Star” QBs ever since Elway. I almost wonder if this is more Snyder and the GM and their line up a future without the Shannahans?
