Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

Let's have a direct discussion. If you're the Redskins who do you pick? Why? Do you pay the King's Ransom for the 2nd pick to pick the Hesiman trophy winner? Should you lure the former MVP and use the draft/ free agency to build a team around him.

You can't pick both as Rich Tandler has pointed out

Redskins must choose between Manning, Griffin - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

Great offseason discussion!

Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

RG3. 2-3 years with an older and fragile QB is not how we get our franchise back to winning regularly. We do it through building through the draft with smart FA pieces to help out.

Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

Griffin. Definitely.

Otherwise you are mortgaging some of your future (There are NO guarantees we can land a franchise QB next year or the year after or...) for a MAYBE in Manning.

Don't get me wrong... I'll be ectsatic if we land Manning...

But I REALLY, REALLY, want OUR OWN P or E Manning / Brady / Rodgers / Brees / Roethlisberger / C Newton / Franchise QB.... One to be ours for 10-15 years of greatness.

Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

You would have to go with RGIII simply because of his age.

Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

I disagree with some of Tandler's assumptions. I think we still could have both.

But since the OP said choose only one, I take the long-term promise of RGIII.

Griffin. This isn't even a question.

I would only SETTLE for Peyton.

Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

RGIII. Sure it is hard to say if RGIII will be the next Manning or the next Shuler. I am ready to think about long term not another possible quick fix (although we know how well those have worked for the Skins).

Re: Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

It's not as simple as asking to choose between RGIII and Peyton. The real question is which package would you rather have?


Which would you choose?


Package A:

1) RGIII


Package B:
1) Peyton Manning (while using 3rd rounder to draft Kirk Cousins)
2) Reily Reiff -OT (1st)
3) Alfonso Denard-CB (2nd)
4) Lucas Nix -OG (4th)

5) Manti Te'o - ILB (2013 1st)
6) Orhian Johnson -SS (2013 4th)





That's about what you'll have to pay to get RGIII. SO tell me, which would you chose? Put your mancrush down and think sensible. Knowing the holes we have, would you honestly give up all that for RGIII? If you whiff on that pick, you are screwed for many many years to come. You whiff on Cousins, and you pick up a QB later on and still have a solid team.

Package B all day....ERRR DAY.

This is going to be a one-sided thread. Griffin.
