The association of Slingin' Sam to RG3 is surely dancing in Daniel Snyder's head. It's a vision I very much want to share.

Whether it was officially expressed or not, the Redskins made a somewhat unexpected committment to the ways of the past two years when they allowed Mike Shanahan to pick the team's 2012 quarterback, which he did by trading every first round pick the Redskins had while he was under contract to move up and select Robert Griffin III.
