08:06 AM ET 05.24 | Brandon Graham wants to prove his doubters wrong, and he knows they're out there. You think he's a bust? [Graham] agrees. "I haven't [done] anything really," Graham said Tuesday. "Right now, I'm a bust, so I'm going to deal with that. I'm a bust and I'm going to keep being a bust, even when I make plays. I'm going to still act like I'm a bust, you know what I'm saying?" There's an element of sarcasm when Graham says all this, but the former first-round pick knows that it's up to him to shed the label he's stuck with at the moment. Graham had three sacks as a rookie before suffering a late-season ACL tear that not only wiped out the rest of his 2010 season but also rendered him ineffective last year in [three games].

As a bust, he fit right in with last year's Eagles. It's a new season, but I think the RG3-led Redskins are going to make this an even tougher division.

I agree. This division always plays tough, even in the out years. The only glimmer of hope was the way the team looked to sync up toward the end of last season.

It is not that he is a "bust," it is just that, as Andy Reid will tell him, like VY, you are just too good to be a back up. so, as soon as we can, we will let you go.

calling a spade a spade.

Actually, he e is not busted. The Eagles gave him a five year $22 million contract with $14 million of that guaranteed.
I have been busted. Nada. This guy? not even close.

Ah, the eternal optimism of Redskins fans. It's the same thing every spring. Let's see the Redskins play a few games before we make them a contender please.

I'm a PATRIOT fan. I'm just doing some logical analysis, based on the assumption that RG3 will turn out to be the best quarterback to come out of college in a number of years. Mike Shanahan hasn't done much for a while, but remember when he got that kid named Elway?
