First rookie to ever win it! Great job young man. Hard not to be excited about this team.

Tell me about it. As great as Cams debut was last year, they did lose and he did throw an int if I am not mistaken. This performance tops that IMO. RG3 just looks like nothing is going to faze him. And is it just me or as explosive as Newton is, doesnt he seem to choke or always throw picks in big time situations? The biggest thing with QB's these days is clutch factor, making those big throws when it really counts. RG3 strikes me as someone who could really be a clutch qb. That throw to paulsen for the 1st down was phenomenal.

Flash in the pan. won't win another thing. Only throws short/behind LOS passes. I know a guy who could do that in his sleep!

I heard the other day where RG3's performance might go down as the best 1st game rookie performance in NFL history. I would have to say if it isn't, it's pretty darn close to the top!

It was the greatest first half by a rookie. And if you look at ESPN's qbr I believe he was in the 90s which Cam never did.

NC all RG did in college was make big time plays in big games. Always has been clutch and through one game he has accomplished that in the NFL.

Yep, and the kids too slow he doesnt move around in the pocket very well. Arm strength is what im most concerned about. The way he lobbed that one over to Davis in the sideline, jeesh damn you Bruce Allen.

A guy I worked with seriously tried to tell me that all he threw was screens and that he wasn't impressed.

:doh:

Did you guys see the story on ESPN about Griffining? The pose is the two figures pointed to the sky and sitting on the ground. Google it. Hilarious.

Yeah but that position is usually because you get knocked on your @$$.

Well if the throws a TD everytime he gets knocked down I'm good with 5 hits a game.

Great job Bob/Robert/Robert Griffin/Robert Griffin III/ RG3, win just a few more of those and you should have rookie of the year locked up!


PS MS and KS don't run this kid 10 times a game, limit his hits please so we can have him on the field more. Thanks

I agree with you that it is ridiculous, and he only ended up there based on getting hit.

I really hope that is dead by the end of week 2.

Until he turns into Michael Vick and spends as much time on the bench licking his wounds as he does on the field. Me no likey that.

The screen passes are getting way too much play. Lots of QBs, even well established ones, start games with a few gimme throws, especially season openers. Look at Breezy's first few passes. After the first drive, RGIII didn't throw another screen the whole game.

And with the Skins in control most of the game (they were up 30-14 at one point), why in the hell would anyone expect RGIII to be throwing bombs down the field?!?!? One of the articles posted here, I think it was the back to college article, highlighthed the discrepency between Brees and RGIII in passes over 20 yards. Hello? Brees was playing from behind. Does the hail mary at the end count?

All things considered, RGIII was amazing. Period.

I mentioned this in another thread, I'll mention it again here.


I suggest that everyone here who has showtime, watch inside the nfl at 9 tonight, I expect to hear a great analysis from Cris Collinsworth and Phil Simms. And you'll see great sideline footage and highlights of our game, stuff you didn't see on sunday

[quote=SkinzWin;939943]Until he turns into Michael Vick and spends as much time on the bench licking his wounds as he does on the field. Me no likey that.[/quote]I'm kinda playing semantics here: I'm pretty sure Griffin got knocked down more than 5 times last Sunday. Go ahead and run the 5 plays for 5 TDs. Unless we're playing the Patriots/Packers/Saints someone that can keep up, sit Griff and give Cousins some PT.
