Do You Unequivocally Believe RG3 Is Our Franchise QB?

[Paintrain]

I know it seems insane to even pose this as a question at this point in his career and for the record my opinion is that he CLEARLY is.

However, in light of the overall results this season and his recent performances, there have been increasing questions about his development as a passer, his leadership (all externally though so I discount that) and even if he should still be playing.

I think he's encountering the struggles that MOST young QB endure, definitely made worse by the lack of an offseason. Unless questions start to arise from inside the locker room about his leadership and status with teammates, I give that no validity.

Where do you stand on RG3?

Yes.

I would think it should be that simple but last week Darrell Green raised the leadership question. Sunday Sonny, and to a lesser extent Cooley, were calling for him to be sat down in favor of Cousins. Shanahan spent significant time in his presser yesterday talking about his 'growing pains', Need to Know: Shanahan speaks of ‘growing pains’ for RG3 | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins. Tracee Hamilton in today's Post (Washington Redskins are a tragic comedy on a loop - The Washington Post) says he's 'regressing before our eyes'. In the coaching thread, there are a couple of posters questioning him and saying he should be sat down for the rest of the year and start Cousins.

Personally, I think its a bunch of 'sky is falling' stuff but thought it may warrant some discussion.

Absolutely. Needs better coaching period

All typical overreactions IMO.

He's a 2nd year QB coming off a major injury and he's still developing as a passer. People seriously need to pump the brakes.

I don't think "regressing" is accurate. Last year he was a one-read QB who threatened the defense with his legs. Teams didn't really catch on that he could only make one read, and they were seeing our pistol for the first time. Now after an offseason of reviewing tape, they see how it works. And with the knee he's just now getting back that ability to threaten defenses with his legs.

But because teams are taking away his first option, his weaknesses are being exposed. He's not regressing, but he hasn't made any progress. He needs a full healthy offseason to work on getting through progressions quickly.
