Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)

Dude, read my post, I am saying he should slide. That hit he took was completely unnecessary and he accomplished nothing by taking it.

And where in my post did I say he should stay in the pocket? I said he needs to slide and avoid hits completely because, let's be honest, his 218 lb frame can't take hits from guys like Ngata who outweigh him by more than a 100 lbs.

This stuff just makes me face-palm. If he's just going to sit back there and take a sack, we might as well have started Grossman and kept the picks. If you insist RG3 stops all of his "RG3-ness', we're right back to square one and possibly wouldn't have won a game all year.

Is Tom Brady not competitive because he doesn't sacrifice his body in the same way?

Brady sacrifices his body by hanging in their till the last minute until so he can throw to his receiver. Why does Big Ben get injured? Because he waits until the last minute and then throws the ball. They might not be scrambling because they know they can't but they are competitive for every yard in their own way. Remember when Brady tore his ACL? its because he was waiting until the last minute to throw it downfield. So Brady, Big Ben, Manning all sacrifice their bodies they just do it in a different way buy hanging in the pocket in order to make the proper throw. Griffin does it by scrambling and hanging in the pocket until the last minute. Manning needed neck surgeries because he took hits in order to get the ball downfield. Great quarterbacks are competitive for every yard in their own ways.

It happens all the time. I mean (and I HATE cliches) but hindsight is 20/20. There are a number of instances this year where he COULD have slid and the game might have had a different outcome.

I suppose...still, I guess hindsight is 20/20 and RG3 really should not have taken that hit. Good points.

One question, what was worse in the game, Marv Albert or defense?

Good point -- still, given that hindsight is 20/20, on that one play, RG3 made a really bad decision not sliding and taking a ferocious hit from two much larger men. Can we agree on that?

Well said.

Just to add... football is a rough game. RG3's style of play is going to lend himself to taking some hits now and then. Shit happens.
