The big question is what type of QB are MS and KS looking for? We fans can all day say Luck is the perfect QB... the best of the best coming out. But he might not have something our coaches are looking for. Same with RGIII. RGIII is probably a great QB for a team who will be looking to expect the QB to make some runs similar to what the Panthers are doing with Newton. Will KS work with that? call plays just for that?
Fans here screamed for Beck because he was more mobile and honestly I didn't see KS calling plays that would benifit that. It seemed like KS wanted a QB to sit in the pocket, roll out when he wanted the QB to roll out. All I'm saying is the top two might not be the QB our coaches are even looking at.

The Shanahan's decision-making with the QB position has been terrible during their time here in DC. They are already a year behind in rebuilding (McNabb set this organization back a year) and I am afraid this offseason they are going to do what they should have done last offseason (pick up a second round QB or later). Unless there is a tremendous red flag, I really wish they would go after RG3. Maybe they can find the next Andy Dalton between Tannenhill or Foles, but I don't know if that lighting can strike twice. Let's just hope that Flynn turns out to be the next Schaub and not the next Kolb/Whitehurst.

Thanks for a bit of info there NC. Had no idea that he was rethinking his decision.
I think even he didn't even know what he was going to do.
2012 NFL draft -- QB Robert Griffin III telling Baylor Bears he's going pro - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2012/story/_/id/7447477/2012-nfl-draft-qb-robert-griffin-iii-telling-baylor-bears-going-pro)
Looks like it's back to going pro.

If Blackmon is available then I'd say take that WR over Floyd but I think Blackmon will be gone. I presume you issue is his character but I'd challenge by asking did you have the same issue's with Taylor when he was still alive? spitting on opponants and getting a DUI? How about TW and Davis? should we trade them away?
Young men will be young men. They make mistakes/poor choices. If Big Ben was available would you be against the team trying to get him? with all his transgressions? Sometimes the character police need to look the other way. sometimes.
Good points with Taylor, Davis and Williams. I would counter by saying that Floyd hasn't even left college and is getting into all this trouble, imagine when he has the money and fame...ST changed his life when he had his baby girl and realized that she was more important than him partying it up driving drunk etc. (however going after someone with a machete isn't exactly the smartest thing to do)
Davis and Trent I don't remember off the top of my head, but Williams was 'would be an all pro if he tries and gives his full effort; not being so lazy' Davis I just remember him missing a meeting because he overslept. He hasn't done that since, he's just messed with weed numerous times. That is bad and greatly hurts his playing career, but whats worse, drunk driving and risking yours and someone elses life, or smoking weed?

From what I'm reading the Browns GM loves collecting draft picks. In the meantime if the Rams hire Fischer then that will only open a line of communication for the Skins to move up. Shanahan also has shown in the past that he's willing to move up to take the right QB. And I think it was Smoot that said the Skins like RG3 more then Luck.
As nice as it is to get draft picks we have to consider that we will be much better off getting a viable QB prospect then saying drafting a mediocre QB prospect and someone like Jarvis Jenkins.

I'd be SHOCKED if #Browns considered moving up to No. 2 to pick RG3 as SI.com says in their new mock #NFLDraft. Heckert loves picks too much

Smoot is not the one that said that, it was another insider I scan from time to time on another forum. I'm not sure Smoot agrees with it though based on intel he's received though. (or that would be my assumption) I personally find it hard to believe myself, but I don't study game film like they do.
