Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

Everywhere I look RG3 is there...There is something about his character that leaves much to be desired. He's still young but to me he doesn't seem like a genuine person. He needs to shut his mouth and Tweeting, keep it real and moving.

So because he's a person of dynamic character he should stop all communications? I hardly think he's to blame for a media who dissects and analyzes every word he says or letter he types. I never get te sense that he's actively trying to seek out the attention. I think most mediaites realize that RG3 is popular and, therefore, what he says has resonance with people.

I think once the honeymoon period is truly over and people start to obsess over the next big name, then he'll step away from the constant barrage of coverage.

[QUOTE=CRedskinsRule;1009800]I haven't heard any of whatever you are talking about, but it sounds more like media looking for any story to do with Griffin. As for Griffin and Snyder having dinner, I imagine it's tied around the wedding.

If you don't want to hear it, just don't watch them.[/QUOTE]

Media isn't driving this, tweeting about crap that happened last year and making it seem like you didn't want to play and the coaches made him. Then his dad doing a interview and saying he should have been pulled out of the Seattle game and he hopes they change the offense this year.

Judgmental much?

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

Wow. Guess RG3 cant please everyone. I guess if he actually did something worth criticizing I'd understand it.

I doubt that his dad called up media outlets saying "I NEED TO GET THIS OUT THERE" more likely the media knows that Griffin news gets viewers and asked his dad for an interview. At which point his dad has a right to express his views. For me that's the media driving it. Likewise, Griffin has answered repeatedly, and while he has never out and out said it's all on me, his answers have generally reflected what I think, in that everyone had a bit of the blame, and they all learned a little, and hopefully if that same situation happens, we see a different outcome.


Can you show me any tweets by Griffin that sound like he didn't want to play and coaches made him? I have never heard that spin by Griffin, and it certainly would be a wholesale change from what he had been saying.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

The problem is nobody took the responsibility to get him out of the game, probably because everyone assumed someone else held that responsibility. Whether you are of the mindset that the player needs to sit himself or that it's the coach who should make the call or if you think a sideline doctor or trainer needs to speak up. I'm sure lessons were learned. Now tweets are made and the world continues to spin. RG3 is probably light-heartedly stirring up stuff now just to get a good laugh at people's ridiculously misplaced prerogatives.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

So has RG3 actually said anything new recently about the Seattle game or are people still going off what he said about a month ago?

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

Nothing new.

Why tweet about your life if your not wanting attention.

This is a perfect example.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

Nothing new and now Jason Reid wrote an article saying "Shanny needs to revamp - RGIII obviuosly not happy". No indication that RGIII is unhappy or, really, for any of his assertions but it is now being discussed as if it were a fact.

Opinion morphs to factual information, welcome to the internet.

Should everyone close down their twitter and Facebook accounts then?

Not genuine? Really? When the comment from everyone who meets him is that he makes you believe in him and want to be around him?

I don't know the guy from Adam, but, judging just on the reactions of those who have actually met him, he is everything he appears to be.
