AGree that RG3's cost is HUGE. 3 first rounders, a couple of second rounders... Those three first rounders could have been secondary / LB -- and made us a force for the next decade. Our last 8 first rounders: RG3, Kerrigan, TWilliams, Orakpo, Landry, Campbell, Rogers, S.Taylor -- have really only missed on Campbell, maybe Landry..

Regardless, it's only fair to have this argument in 3-5 years, when we can see if Wilson / RG3 fade with tape review. As we've seen with Cam Newton, a great rookie year can fade when everyone else figures you out. Not to mention if you thought running the zone read with a 6 foot 2 QB is dangerous, Seattle is just starting to run it with a 5'11" 206lb QB. All it takes is one hit from Rams Robert Quinn next week for Flynn to be IN.

Of the two, I still think RG3 is a better long-term bet.
