re: How much better is RGIII compared to Cam Newton?

The Redskins will be interesting the next few years. Cowherd made some good points today about how RG3 is mostly just asked to throw short and bubble screens while running a read option. He stated RG3 did not complete a pass 5 yards beyond the LOS in his first game (dunno if that is accurate though).

Then he went on to discuss the Redskins future. They really did mortgage a lot to get RG3 and will have trouble even keeping pace with the rest of the NFL over the next few years with no first round draft picks and picking later in the rounds they do have picks for this year.

I think the Panthers will be a better team over the next few years than the Redskins and Cam will finally start to benefit from better talent around him. The Panthers will go Oline with their first pick this year and should be able to get a good one (drafting around #15). Then a WR in the second round and this year's draft is loaded with plenty of WR talent. Good chance the Panthers are as good or better than the Skins next year, and it may continue for a few years.
