RG3 and Gruden?

I didnt get to see the game and the highlights are the same 2 plays.How did RG3 look? Were the sacks his fault? Did he lock on 1 receiver? Throw any passes over 15 yards downfield in the air?


Best he's looked since Minnesota. Still inconsistent though. A couple of the sacks were on him, but when Trent went out the line fell apart and gave up 3 sacks that I don't think you can pin on him.

At least twice yesterday RG3 took a short drop, looked once, then dropped his head and started dancing in place before the rush got to him.

We call it "happy feet" when a QB does that, and yes it's when the QB is scared of getting hit.

That's actually more that a QB doesn't trust his eyes and is looking at the rush not downfield. QB's being scared of being hit don't run into danger as often as RG3 does. He's more reckless than scared. It's very difficult to be both.

RG3 was far from perfect, but he played with desire yesterday, we saw glimpses of the old 2012 RG3 out there, especially on that should have been a touchdown run at the end of the 1st half.

I think the end result was more bad coaching by Gruden than the players (although our O-line still has massive problems)

You can accuse RG of many things but being afraid of being hit ain't one.

He has largely played with confidence and..........bravado. One of the traits I admire in him.

Giving up on RG now would be incredibly stupid. He needs to be coached up and given better protection.

I'm almost thinking we should draft offensive tackle with first pick. How long since we had bookend tackles? Samuels and Jansen. I remember those days fondly.

Ok thanks

Almost? Nothing would be wiser unless they can trade if for three 1s and a 2nd.

How about when he had 37 open wr's running around that the entire effin world saw except for him? Thats not normal. Thats not something that "every" qb does. That is amateur hour at the effin apollo.

Explanation: this QB had two receivers open in the end zone for a quick TD and never even looked their way. Instead, he throws to a covered Young in the flat and the pass is incomplete.

Question: who is this QB?

Hint: it's not Griffin.

Our first score should have offered RGIII a positive learning feedback loop. He played within the offense rather than freelancing. He got the ball out quick. And we scored.

IMO his fundamentals fell off after that. But if he focuses on that drive, Griffin has a chance to gain comfort and confidence as a pocket QB.

I didnt say any of our quarterbacks were all that and a bag of chips.
Edit : when I said every QB, I meant every Starter. There are plenty of QB's that do not make it in the league as starters that do this. Thats probably why they are back ups.
Before you find a pic of a great qb doing this, it is only a problem if it's consistent.
