Stop and take a look around. Even the neutral based writers see it. This isn't something that's conjured up because we are losing. |
Yes, it is something being conjured up because the Redskins are losing. How many times was RGIII's leadership questioned last year? None.
I do not get the impression from John Keim's piece that he, himself, is questioning the leadership of RGIII. John Keim's reaction: "
You need to be careful about what you say." That's not an indictment on RGIII's leadership, it's just an indictment on RGIII being more careful about what he says in post game interviews. And Keim goes on to site Sally Jenkins - do I need to say anything about her? Honestly? Darrell Green - his flip flopping on the Redskins name puts his credibility in question. And Santana Moss? Seems like Moss needs to learn to shut his mouth. If Moss had a beef with something RGIII said, he should have pulled RGIII aside, privately to speak to him man to man. None of this passive aggressive going to the media stuff. Moss needs to look at himself before he indicts RGIII.
I think that's all Keim's point was. If you don't watch what you say, you'll have people picking your words apart. Trust me, happens all the time here.
Let's be real about this. Robert is 23 years old. He's a young pup. A lot has been placed upon his shoulders with this franchise. It's almost a curse that he had such a great rookie season. That, in itself, just magnified the pressure ten fold. Has Robert ever been in a situation where he's on a losing team? I don't think so. This is all new to him. He has to learn and he will.
