(US Presswire)
Though it may not be officially listed as a trade, it
would be a change of heart to say the very least.
This was something I mentioned soon after the Redskins
pulled off that monster draft trade with the St. Louis
Rams to move into the second position in the 2012 draft,
and even something I recommended the Colts do if I were
in their position. Instead of making Andrew Luck the
#1 overall pick in the draft, choose RG III instead.
Don't believe me? This is what Jim Irsay told the USA
today about it:
"It's up in the air. We have to look at
this thing completely open-minded. You have 2 outstanding
athletes, two great pure passers, two guys from families
that are incredible ... If we get to the point where we're
going to negotiate early, get something done before the
draft, you never rule that out. We've talked to both agents.
We haven't negotiated yet."
I have stated more than once that I think RG III is the
better QB of the two, and though I don't have the pedigree
of a Mike Mayock, or Mel Kiper, I do know what my eyes
tell me. I believe that RG III is going to be a better
long term solution for any team than Andrew Luck is, but
like most predictions, only time will tell who's right.
The interesting part of of the possibility that Jim Irsay
changes his mind is that the Redskins have already put
their eggs in the RG III basket, but as I mentioned when
they made this trade, they are in a kind of win win type
of situation. Andrew Luck is obviously no schlub, so if
Irsay and the Colts should happen to change their minds,
they still wind up with Luck. Thing is, though they may
not say it publicly, it not what they had planned.
