I'm enjoying reading the ES suicide hotline posts these days.

Traded away so much. It's even better that he had a great rookie season to get their stupid hopes up even more and now dude can't complete simple passes.

Ahhhhh....

[ice grillin you]

whats the % of them still defending him

[PhillyPhreak54]

Probably 30-40pct? Maybe a bit less.

What's funny is they all used to rip The Shanaclan and now they don't have much to say about the red faced ferret ruining him.

[QB Eagles]

If his personality wasn't like everything terrible about McNabb turned up to 11, it'd be fun for the Eagles to kick the tires on RGIII and make something out of him.

[General_Failure]

I can't wait to see him in a Rams uniform.

MECHANICSVILLE, Va. (WUSA9) -- A Washington taterskins fan who passed away Monday was able to make one last dig at the team.
John Ray Bartgis died on Monday, November 10 at age 52 after battling lung cancer. In his obituary, he asked the taterskins to grant one of his "final wishes."
"John was also a diehard Washington taterskins fan, and one of his final wishes was that the team members would be his pallbearers so they can let him down one last time," the obituary reads.
Bartgis was a staff sergeant in the National Guard for 12 years who loved motor sports going each year to the Hatfield McCoy Trails with his work buddies.
The service will be held Thursday at 2 p.m. in Mechanicsville.

My favorite part:

Yet right now, the taterskins are hitting the reset button, though it might not last long, a source cautioned as Washington has high hopes for the coming offseason.

Pretty sure this has been their mantra for close to 20 years now.

Washington received: QB Robert Griffin III

St. Louis received: DT Michael Brockers, CB Janoris Jenkins, RB Isaiah Pead, G Rokevious Watkins, LB Alec Ogletree, WR Stedman Bailey, RB Zac Stacy, OT Greg Robinson

As we sit here today, that means the taterskins got a starting quarterback. The Rams, meanwhile, got starters at defensive tackle, cornerback, linebacker, running back and offensive line with a receiver who could likely grab that role this year.

3. Philadelphia Eagles: Oh boy. This is the nuclear option for everyone involved, and yet for everybody involved, it makes a lot of sense. Chip Kelly hasn't had a mobile quarterback capable of scaring opposing teams with the zone-read since Michael Vick hit the bench last season, and even with his limitations after knee surgery, Griffin would qualify. The offense that Kelly runs in Philadelphia shares some similarities to what Griffin ran in college, given their shared usage of the read-option and emphasis on both spreading the field and using tempo as an offensive asset. And Kelly, who recruited Griffin out of high school, has no qualms about acquiring a damaged quarterback if he thinks he can mold him into a worthwhile starter. Is Griffin really a worse case than Mark Sanchez?

The fly in the ointment is Washington, which might hesitate to deal its former franchise quarterback inside the division out of a fear he'll come back to beat D.C. twice a year. That being said, if Washington is already so sure that Griffin's not worth holding on to, why would it be concerned about dealing Griffin to a rival? If anything, if it's that sure he's going to fail wherever he goes, why wouldn't it be aggressive about dealing him to Philadelphia in the hopes he'll blow up their locker room? This would be the most fun destination for Griffin.

I hate his personality, mechanics, and he's injury prone. That being said on a one year prove it contract why not.

And how awesome would this be:

1. St. Louis Rams: And yet, the best fit might very well be the team that traded away the chance to acquire Griffin in the first place. The Rams have recouped a bounty for their decision to trade away the second overall pick three years ago, but the one thing they failed to come away with as part of that deal is a viable starting quarterback. Sam Bradford's injuries should force him out of town this offseason, and while the Rams appeared to have stumbled onto a starter with Austin Davis, the franchise soured on him quickly enough to run back to veteran retread Shaun Hill two weeks ago.

The Rams also are good enough and have an easy enough schedule over the next five weeks (with games against Oakland, Washington, and the Giants) to likely finish somewhere in the lower half of the top 10, a spot that could preclude them from getting one of the draft's top-rated passers. Given that they've had so many draft picks over the past three seasons by virtue of the Griffin trade and the subsequent deals the Rams made with those picks, they are perhaps best positioned to send a mid-round selection to Washington for Griffin, even after dealing a fourth- and sixth-rounder to the Buccaneers in October for Mark Barron.

At some point, it's worth it for the Rams to go after a high-risk option. Bradford was one of the lowest-reward options in football when he was in the lineup. The Rams have built a deep roster with talent up and down the lineup, but they've never taken a risk on a player like Griffin, who might dramatically improve their fortunes. I wouldn't make the move if they intend to hold on to offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, but if the Rams found a more imaginative replacement and moved on from Bradford, Griffin would be a logical fit.

In all, I strongly doubt that Griffin will remain on the Washington roster in 2015. There's just not enough to be gained by having him around, especially with all the public posturing from Gruden suggesting that he wants to move on and go after the quarterback of his choosing. If Washington fires Gruden and hires somebody like Briles or Harbaugh, it would make sense for Griffin to stay. Otherwise, a trade makes the most sense, and these are the 10 teams that most obviously fit a Griffin deal.

If I'm not mistaken, the Rams traded a 2nd round pick they got from DC to Chicago. Chicago used that pick on Alshon Jeffrey.
