The Legend
I'm not sure I could disagree more. Coming off Rex and Beck, we needed to take a chance. And the chance worked. Am I the only one who remembers 2012? Talk about euphoric. The organization and Mike Shanahan ruined the kid. Should we have gambled those picks with such a crappy organizational structure in place? I guess not, but the thing is the gamble worked for that year.Well, unfortunately for the draft picks given up my feeling is the Redskins could have rebuilt much of the current team into an up and coming contender.
Three #1 picks and a #2 pick?
For a good GM that's FOUR premium athletes.
You have to remember that the compensation for Griffin was MORE than the Broncos gave up to Indy for the rights to John Elway.
Only a fool would say the move for what was given up was anything but a swing for the fences that crashed out.
Elephant is the ONLY person. I remember casting doubt during that run into the playoffs. And even he admitted he might have been wrong until the playoff injury.
The last two years have been the stuff of nightmares. And Griffin deserves a shit ton of blame for not adapting, being a shitty teammate, insisting on scheme change and just generally failing at his job. But when we're closing the book on Robert Griffin III in DC, let's not try to make ourselves feel better by pretending 2012 never happened.
As much blame as Robert carries, the organization and Shanahan carry equal amounts for ruining the most promising start to a Redskins career I can remember in quite a while.
