We won't know whether it was worth it until down the road. All the hand wringing won't mean anything if he is the franchise QB. If he's a stud, it's well worth it. If he sucks, the Skins are the same place they were yesterday, at the bottom of the NFC East.
Bill Polian said on the NFL-N that Luck & RGIII were the two best QB prospects he's seen since Peyton came out of UT. He said he would do what it takes to get either one. Cleveland was apparently willing to give up the same things so it's all about what the market will pay.
Only time will tell if it's worth it.
