Will BUF toss in a bid if RGIII gets canned?

Food for thought...you heard it here first.

i hope not. he loves himself a little too much and appears to be too sensitive to criticism in addition to the fact that he kinda sucks. (at least since his rookie year)

[MikeInRoch]

No. No. No.

[better days]

Not very tasty food.

I would equate that thought to a frozen banquet dinner.

[DynaPaul]

He sucks, Orton is better.

[Bill Cody]

Bad mentor for EJ.

"RG3 how do you hit a barn door with a pass?"

"Damned if I know EJ"

[Meathead]

a lot depends on how orton ends the season. if he does well and can avoid the major lackluster games like kc and the fish hes gonna be the starter next year. if he doesnt then its gonna be an open competition next summer and they will be looking at trying to upgrade the candidates

if they could possibly get rg3 without giving up picks id say they have to try. taking a risk on him at this point is no worse than taking a risk on another rookie

I think that cur, Shanahan, really stuck it to him when he played him despite recovering from serious injury. And now he seems gun shy.

[WagonCircler]

For a third, I might take him and cut EJ.

But only as a backup. He's rumored to have a poor work ethic, but that may be propaganda.

He's obviously injury prone.

He's inaccurate.

Scratch that. I'd sign him for vet minimum as a FA.

[Mr. Pink]

He's better than any QB on the roster.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

I would give him a shot for a low pick. He's not expensive, he's young, and he's still physically capable of playing QB position. He's the exact type of project QB I would be looking for in the late rounds anyway.

[WagonCircler]

He's better than any QB on the roster.

I'm not so sure about that, and even if that's true, he can't seem to play two consecutive games without missing six or more with an injury.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

I think people are overstating his injuries. He's only missed 5 games in his career due to injury, fewer than Aaron Rodgers over the same span. Hell, it's fewer than EJ Manuel and he's played an extra year. By contrast, he's probably played in games where he should have sat.

He's missing time because he's been benched, and deserves criticism for that. But I think people are treating him like Roscoe Parrish the QB and it's a little mistaken.

[Mr. Pink]

He still has lingering effects from his knee injuries 2 years ago, that was very apparent last year and I don't know how much it's affecting him this year. The other thing is Gruden is trying to turn him into a pocket passer which isn't the type of player he is.

Have him run the read option, call rollouts, move the pocket and you'll go back to rookie year performance RGIII.

**** the read option. If he can't be a pocket passer, then he can't be an NFL Quarterback.

His benching is certainly deserved. But I think it's clear that the WAS staff and management rushed him back into action. He has a certain cachet, he sells tix and the pundits yak about him. That translates into viewer interest which translated into $.

I'm not a fan or a detractor, but he's not the 1st qb that that franchise mishandled.

[Meathead]

in fact, if the bills qb situation turns bad over the rest of the season i would go as far as to send a third or lower for rg3. when youre in qb hell you gotta take risks. hopefully we wont have to be put in that situation

[Mr. Pink]

Russell Wilson = not an NFL QB.

Got it

[better days]

If RGIII becomes a FA, I would take a flyer on him & let him compete with EJ & Orton but I wouldn't trade even a 5th rnd pick for him.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Nice kid, but inaccurate as hell. We already have a kid like that. His name is EJ.
