I want him to succeed so that trade wasn't a huge waste. Gruden needs to show me something that he can tailor an offense to Griffins skills while developing his pocket skills
Gruden touted himself as a quarterback guy. I need to see it. Griffin has been terrible. Cousins has been banished. Now Colt is supposed to give me hope?
Snyder deserves some blame. But give him credit where its due: he has tried different ideas. Given his coaches anything they ask for. He does meddle. I dont know.... maybe fire everyone, gut the roster, and bring in a GM to call ALL the shots.
sorry. Ranting here..

^ This post I agree completely. Of course this comes the same day as the report that gruden is done with RGIII and wants him off the team.
I'm embarrassed that this franchise just beat up on the guy so much. He's recovering from 2 major injuries and has played what all of 5 games in this coaches system. He's taken more criticism than Jason Campbell, D-mac, and Jeff George combined. Really I like Robert and I feel bad he's been benched but I absolutely do not agree with how this 24 year old is the whipping boy for the failure of this offense. We seriously have buried him in the media like J-marcus russel or Ryan Leaf. Thing is the kid isn't even an off the field issue and we treat him like he's out being Johnny Football and Ray Carruth. It's disgusting PR wise. Gruden is the coach he needs to act like one...if you really are done with Robert handle the issue internally don't bury the guy in the media because that F**ks us when we do try to make a move. He is under contract and it's lose lose if we trade him or release him.
It just bugs me man, it's so frustrating.......If you are this Quarterback guy....get him the footwork and the skills needed to up his game. Kirk could use the work too no one seems to be able to make the reads Jay wants. I expect colt to have flashes of Brilliance he's been in a pro style offense and he's been in the NFL longer..pretty sure Mike Holmgren drafted the guy he's no slouch. Then again there was another backup that understood a certain offense better as well...His name was Todd Collins. Sorry guys im ranting..
Short story I feel like both QB's should at least be on this roster until preseason....see how they've progressed and decide from there...but I think we're taking a giant crap sammich by releasing or trading RGIII at this point we'd be giving him away for nothing.
Side note: if he became the next Brad Johnson I'd be livid.
