Well, RG III is no longer in the picture.
However, as I said earlier, RG III is a risk. Would he turn out like Newton, or like Leaf (or even Russell)? Naturally, we won't know until the season starts, then wait until the end of the season to see what happened. However, even that won't give us the true picture. Is the personnel around RG III in Wash good enough to help him? I think Miami's personnel is better, but that is neither here nor there now. Anyway, I always thought it would take too much to move up to get him. Now let's see if Wash got a bargain or a bust.
As for Flynn -- I asked this before; is he any better than Moore? Right now, I would say no. Moore has more games and experience under his belt, plus he knows Miami's personnel. Flynn would come in with two games experience and knows nothing about his receivers or running backs.
RG III, IMO, is more of a gamble than Flynn, simply because Flynn has been in the NFL for a while.
I hope it doesn't happen, but if Miami loses out on all three QBs, then I believe Miami will take a giant gamble and draft Tannehill and hope he becomes the guy. However, Cleveland may still be in the market for a QB and grab him before Miami can.
If that happens, I go back to my original scenario that has Miami trading down (no lower than 15) and getting two players that can hopefully help immediately. Naturally, that 2nd pick would be either Miami's, at #9 (in the 2nd round), or their trading partner's pick.
