How would you feel if Shanahan benches RGIII?

gtripp and matty, i really like and give a ton of credence to both you guys opinions and thoughts but the last 2 pages both of have you have been talking as if rg3 didnt have major knee surgery last year . . . . im frustrated to but i want rg3 ready for the next coach and his o scheme

RG3 is going to be more ready for the next coach if he stays and plays. Sitting on the bench won't do anything for his development.

Have the Atlanta Falcons pulled Matt Ryan? No.
Have the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled Ben Roethlisberger? No.
Have the Buffalo Bills pulled EJ Manuel? No.
Have the NY Giants pulled Eli Manning? No.
Did the Minnesota Vikings pull Adrian Peterson? No.





SO why in the fuck should the Redskins pull RGIII even though the season is lost? To protect him? Well fuck, why not just sit him out the next year as well. May get hurt you know. /facepalm

This kid needs all the work he can get.

He hired him!! :doh: Another failed hire by Dan.

Right and we can argue over whether he should have known better but ultimately he did hire him and has to own that. That doesn't make him responsible for the crap that Shanny is pulling. Be mad at DS for hiring MS. But hold back enough of that and aim it at MS for he is the one causing the problems currently.

Here's the obvious posturing that Shanahan is doing: none of the final three opponents on the schedule are going to get anywhere near Griffin. Dallas might try to blitz him, maybe. But Atlanta and New York can't get after the passer at all. Griffin is as safe as anyone from injury these last three weeks. Shanahan's argument is a red herring.

Um...didn't you watch Justin Tuck abuse Polumbus and Chester? Everyone can rush that passer against our line.

It was probably a factor in the Week 1 start/sit decision. But he's almost a full year out. We're now in the "point" period of the 99.**% healthy/recovered. You can round up to 100%.

He's taken a billion hits this season so I'm sure Griffin isn't healthy at this point between all the ailments one gets from playing through a football season. Resting him will heal those ailments, sure, but it doesn't really matter if he rests now or in three weeks. When he returns for March in OTA's he's going to be 100%. If he gets an injury in the next three weeks, that's really unfortunate, but the season isn't over yet and they can't just play it like he is.

Cousins could tear something too if he's playing, and then you lose whatever trade value you had on him.

You are worried about RG3's knee now? The beginnning of the season was when he needed to sit but he's now 13 weeks in so let him play. I never knew anyone getting better by not playing and RG3 sure can get better so he needs to play.

And they traded a crap ton of picks to get him. Just not as much as we dealt for Griffin. Earned on arrival.

True, but again, Eli has two rings and that earns him the right to play through his slump. Big difference w/ rings and draft pick status.

Um...didn't you watch Justin Tuck abuse Polumbus and Chester? Everyone can rush that passer against our line.It's a fair point, although they really didn't get very much pressure on Griffin that game. Two of Tuck's sacks were a result of Griffin extending the play.

Not sure how you expect him to get better on the bench.

The Cowboys didn't bench Aikman his rookie year when they went 1-15 and he took an absolute beating.

Young QBs that were drafted high are rarely playing under the best of circumstances. But they need to play to improve.

True, but Aikman didn't have multiple knee injuries either. 3 games isn't a big deal. RG3 needs to sit. He's had a bad year and needs to be humbled. Hopefully he'll learn from this and he'll be the player we all want him to be.

if he wasnt coming off major injury, it be different for me but i love your sig from frplg so im gonna move on.
