Robert Griffin showing off his big brain for Steve Mariucci.

This guy is going to be so good.

This guy's Wonderlic score must be insane.

Not necessarily, although it should be above whatever is "average" for a Wonderlic.

I remembered about 60% to 70% of that play. Forgot the protections and the name of the formation but I remembered all the routes and the progressions as well as the name name of the actual play.

Can we draft you?

Just got done throwing the ball. I throw a mean 20 yard floater. Receivers will have no problem catching my passes, problem is neither will the defense. Still a completion is a completion is a completion, I just don't want the ball to hit the ground.

Yeah, but he made up for it with extra credit, like going through little details that Mooch didn't even mention like the hot read to the fly route on the far side. Love the "going deep" mentality.

Also just realized that maybe the Brown-Blue mix up was possibly a Freudian slip.

Yeah, not a big deal. Maybe it was "blue" at Baylor and he lapsed. He's still obviously a smart guy. And I too like the "going deep" mentality, especially since he has the gun to do it.

It still amazes me how he just flicks his wrist and the ball just flies out.

2 Things eveyone should notice if you've seen any interviews with him...

1) People talk about the huge amount of pressure that they THINK would/should be on his shoulders because the Skins gave up so much to get him...

His whole demeanor and personality show a guy who is not going to be intimidated or pressured at all by this... you can almost hear him saying something about the fact that all 1st round QBs (or QBs period) have pressure on them every game and that he holds himself to a higher standard than anyone could put on him, etc.

2) This guy SCREAMS leader and huddle commander. Cool, calm, collected, intelligent, and extremely competitive... the same personality traits that I personally believe made a certain 6th round QB in New England a future Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champ.

The guy is a winner... period. He screams it within minutes of being around him... it's why Shanahan & Allen were willing to do whatever it took to get him.

I have ZERO doubts that he will the best quarterback the Redskins have had in 20 years.

EARTHQUAKE2689 · 03-18-2012, 06:41 PM

Yeah, blue marker probably threw him off. Still love the trade for him.
