QuoteSince hearing Mike Shanahan's press conference and his comment on other HOF QB's having a harder time than RG3 in their first few years, I decided to compare RG3's stats this year with Peyton Manning's first year. This is a valid comparison because this is technically RG3's first year as a pocket passer.

I don't read extremeskins very much and every boards has its morons - is this just one of those few idiots or is this actually a typical post?

ES has swayed towards the negative as many of the older people who live in internet board infamy for their over the top homerism have moved on...however there are still gems over there.

Yeah, the over the top taterskins homerism over there really went downhill after IGY stopped posting there.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Well, thanks to you guys who import the best of from there so we don't have to go through all the rest of the dross. They still make me laugh. taterskins fans are a breed apart from all other fans. Or an inbreed.

RGII has taken over as the biggest pain in the ass helicopter parent

QuoteGriffin's father has increasingly become the kind of nuisance that some people warned NFL executives about before the 2012 draft. In recent weeks, according to two sources close to the situation, the elder Griffin has politicked Snyder to hire Baylor coach Art Briles, who coached the younger Griffin to a Heisman Trophy, to replace Shanahan.

That has come on the heels of the elder Griffin privately second-guessing Shanahan on his play-calling from the playoff game last year when his son suffered a significant knee injury, according to The Washington Post's Mike Wise. One source who has known the Griffin family for at least six years recently compared the elder Griffin to the late Earl Woods, Tiger Woods' father and a man who many believe lived in the reflective glory of his son's accomplishments.

Less than two years ago, the Washington taterskins made a franchise-changing deal when they traded with the St. Louis Rams to get the second-overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, selecting Robert Griffin III. To get that pick, the Rams received three first-round picks and a second rounder.

Griffin and the taterskins' performance have been broken down in detail this season. But, in the end, the Rams may have gotten better end of the deal, as they've turned the first three picks into seven players, including three defensive starters, and still have the taterskins 2014 first-round pick in hand.

Here's a look at what each of those picks have become.

2012 First-Round Pick

The Rams didn't trade down far to make the original trade, only moving down from second to sixth. But from there, the sixth pick was again traded down again, this time to the Dallas Cowboys for the 14th-overall pick and a second-round pick.

The 14th pick became defensive tackle Michael Brockers, who has 9.5 sacks in his two NFL seasons. This season, Brockers has started every game, and his 5.5 sacks are tied for seventh among all defensive tackles.

The second-round pick originally received was traded to the Bears for the pick that became Alshon Jeffery. The Rams moved down five spots in the deal, selecting running back Isaiah Pead, who has mostly contributed on special teams this year. St. Louis also picked up a fifth-rounder in the deal, tackle Rokevious Watkins, who was waived after his rookie season.

The Rams actually held on to this pick, and wisely so, as they selected cornerback Janoris Jenkins.

Jenkins has already emerged as one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, starting all 14 games this season. He has 12 pass breakups this season, which is tied for the fourth-most in the NFL.

2012 Second-Round Pick

The Rams actually held on to this pick, and wisely so, as they selected cornerback Janoris Jenkins.

Jenkins has already emerged as one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, starting all 14 games this season. He has 12 pass breakups this season, which is tied for the fourth-most in the NFL.

2013 First-Round Pick

The Rams again traded this pick (22nd overall) down, this time to the Falcons, picking up an extra third and sixth-round pick, giving up a seventh-rounder in the deal.

Moving down eight spots in the first round, St. Louis picked LB Alec Ogletree, who has started all 14 games as a rookie. His 102 tackles rank first on the team and T-24th in the NFL. He's tied for 13th in the NFL with nine tackles for loss, and his eight pass breakups are second in the NFL among linebackers.

The third-round pick became wide receiver Stedman Bailey. He only has 10 receptions for 149 yards in his rookie season, but eight of those receptions and 118 of the yards have come in the last three games, both team highs in that span.

The Rams took the sixth-rounder, and packaged it with their existing sixth-rounder to move up to the fifth round to get starting RB Zac Stacy. Stacy's 854 rushing yards this season are second among rookie running backs.

2014 First-Round Pick

The Rams greatest haul in the deal could come in the next draft, as they will receive the taterskins' first-round pick this year, which as of right now, stands as the second-overall pick.

Those awkward edits really make it look like security threw that not drunk guy down the stairs. He definitely wasn't drunk and fell.

The man. The myth. The legend.

He was shoved by a dude in black behind the dude behind the police officer. Either way he got what he deserved...he's a skins fan.
