2 injury prone back up qbs. Marrone wouldn't know what to do with him like he didn't know what to do with Ej. Maybe we can introduce back up qb by committee.

No thanks. Wanted nothing to do with him when he came out, and nothing since then has changed my mind.

He'll be in that next college football commercial with Leinart, Schuler and Boz saying " Take me with you ! "

Russell Wilson is accurate enough that he be a pocket passer or a "read option" QB. It's an ultra rare combination, and he may actually be the only one who can pull it off. The other possibility is EJ's successor at FSU. Both highly skilled baseball athletes.Originally Posted by Mr. Pink
Russell Wilson = not an NFL QB.
Got it
You can't win being JUST a running QB in this league.
Sure, he's pure awesomeness

Wow. That's like a horror film.
I don't think I'd take him for free.
Shanahan ruined this kid before he even got started.
i hope and pray we dont dream of anything with RG3
ill call it now jake locker will be a bill next year thats my bold qb prediction not as long term answer but the new upgraded stop gap
Hell no...he's another one-read QB who reverts to his jungle instincts far too often.
Oh no!...We suck again!
Just don't let the barn door hit you in the ass on your way out of town, EJ.

Well that should answer the original poster's question with a huge exclamation point.
RGIII has become JaMarcus Russell.
his jungle instincts. are you f###ing serious?
I came.
I saw.
I conquered.

What? You wanted to hear how he was another RB trying to play QB instead?
It depends on how we finish, if we finish with a winning record I think Orton stays and we maybe draft someone like Chuckie Keeton in Round 5. If we end up with a losing season we might turn Orton aside and sign Christian Ponder and maybe still draft Keeton.
The Redskins ****ed this up beyond hope.
Shanny has never been a coach whose been good with rookies and to give him RGIII was a nightmare everybody saw coming. His ego would never allow for some young buck to overshadow his all knowing douche mind.
As for taking him, that's a tough call. Talent wise its an easy yes, as Illumni pointed out he's the exact Day 3 type of QB project you take. He would be our most talented QB by far, but that doesn't mean he'd be our best. You'd have to be convinced that he is fully committed to becoming a better QB and not just relying on his current talents. I think that much of his unwillingness to learn the craft has been overblown but I know coming out of Baylor he wasn't asked to do a lot in terms of reading D's in the Art Briles offense. Again he's a QB who probably never should of played as a rookie so he could of sat and learned behind a veteran QB.
If you bring in RGIII you have to have an OC who can design an offense based on quick reads, short passing, and a moving pocket.
COMING SOON...
He's just another world class athlete who will never be a NFL QB (that you would want leading your team).
I can't think of any great QBs who are world class athletes (though many are good athletes of course).
But there are boatloads of great athletes who can't play the position. They are not rare.
Guys whose game relies on athleticism are doomed to fail.
The job description for a franchise guy has a laundry list of requirements attached to it, and great athleticism, though a nice to have, is nowhere near the top. Some posters are confusion athleticism for talent for playing the position.
Will the read option be his salvation? The read option is what has just about turned him into a cripple (or has at least diminished his athleticism significantly) He's not as durable as Steve Young and Young never ran as much as RG3 did his rookie season, a season btw where he only threw for 3200 yards.
A non-read spread, like at Baylor? It would be successfully schemed against by big league DCs. And then what?
Chip Kelly? I don't think he could execute the way Mark Sanchez did today, ever. He can't read a defence. Never has and most likely never will. Kelly's O may be QB friendly, but it actually asks that player to do quite a lot.
And this is even before you get into the personality issues that are, if you want to lead a team, of crucial importance.
He's about as far from what you want in a leader of men as you can get.
He's actually right up there with Jamarcus Russell as an all time bust. It's just that no one, except maybe Shanny and Gruden, know that for sure.
So why folks would want to even give this guy the time of day is a mystery to me.
Bills can, and actually are, doing better than that.

Being replaced by Colt McCoy is all you need to know about the whole thing.
alohabillsfan (12-02-2014),Mace (11-27-2014)
At this point, can't run, can't pass, can't make reads, doesn't inspire his team, doesn't seem to know plays, was replaced by Colt McCoy, benched by two coaching staffs, knee and ankle injuries in the past, we should by all means sign him for um, some reason ?
alohabillsfan (12-02-2014),Thurmal (12-06-2014)
A few things... He needs a really good medical eval, a sportspsychologist, and to take a year or so in a backup role.

The only one who can save that dumpster fire is Chip Kelly and the Eagles offense.
