    Is Washington willing to cut ties yet? It's inevitable with Cousins starting, why not trade him out of your conference? Who can we trade to get it done? We're desperate, Washington hates RGIII, seems like a good fit.

    He has no pocket presence, is injury prone and can't read defenses.

    What makes you think it would be a good fit, mid-season, doctor?

    Hmm...But does he know how to not take a sack when he is outside the pocket?

    Maybe we can just glue some dreds onto Geno and make him marry a white girl.

    You people are amazing. How in the hell can you put this game on Geno? As for RG3 he not liked in his locker room because of his ego.

    Does a RGIII trade have to be shortsighted to point of just being considered as just an attempt at a midseason remedy?

    I would take RGIII over Fitz or Geno, I sure as shit would take him over Ryan Mallet or Matt Flynn. RGII is a backup now, he's rested, as for his pocket presence, I don't turn him into a pocket QB, I just let him play.

    Maybe Im bias but I really dont see any difference between RG3 and Geno as pros right now.

    RG3 might be more vulnerable to injury too.

    The way he plays is the reason he's in the position he is right now in Washington.

    He isnt big enough to play as reckless as he does.

    There's a difference. Geno has better pocket presence but a weaker arm.

    RGII was handled terribly by Washington, Geno has never had a season like RGIII had, the guy is young and when healthy and allowed to play he's electric.

    I mean come on, this is not the answer. I wouldn't touch RGIII with a 10 foot pole no matter what our QB situation was...

    I can see that. But he also has the weaker arm and poor vision downfield.

    Both just arent NFL QB's.

    Agreed

    But that season was 3 years ago.

    RGIII his rookie year had 20 TD's and 5 INTS, a 66% completion %, and 3200 yards passing. Geno never had a year like that, in fact Geno never had a year as good as RG III's worst.

    I find it hard to claim a guy who dominated the league his rookie year "just isn't an NFL QB", you don't have success like that by accident. To me he's worth a change of scenery.

    Im not arguing that point. Its obvious at full health RG3 is a much better QB than Geno will ever be.

    But RG3 at full health is a risky subject.

    Less risky than Ryan Mallet, Geno Smith, or Matt Flynn?
