Sally Jenkins Strikes Again!

[calia]

I am sick of all the RGIII has a huge ego stuff. Says who? Nothing I have seen from him seems terribly out of step with any other stuff we get from league QBs. Moreover, we WANT our starting Qb to have some ego, some attitude. You don't think Peyton, Brady, or other elite QBs don't have healthy self images? If they didn't, they wouldn't demand the ball, think that they could go forth an conquer, and dominate opponents. I want a QB that wakes up every day thinking about an opponent, "I own their shit."

Moreover, I haven't heard any player on the team actually say that RGIII was a problem or even suggest as much. (And don't tell me about the Moss quote -- he later said that he meant everyone needed to take individual responsibility, and was clear he wasn't singling out any individual players who weren't.) Could he have handled press conferences about his injury, return, playcalling, etc. better? Sure. I defy anyone -- ANYONE -- to say credibly that he or she would do better at 23 years old facing all the pressure RGIII has faced.

If 2013 had been a winning season for us, none of this crap would be troweled out in the "media" (Sally doesn't count -- she creates, at best, opinion pieces that are typically laughably devoid of fact; she lost me about 20 years ago when she wrote a piece about the Sydney, Australia olympics and roundly bashed that country -- trust me, if you've been there, you know it's a remarkable place.) But back to my point, if the Colts had tanked this season and Luck was forced to face the cameras and justify his very existence, do you think he'd handle it materially better than RGIII?

Sally needs to just come clean that she's a Cowboys fan and stop imposing her drivel in us all, most of which could have been created by a bunch of drunk chimps randomly swatting at a keyboard.

But then again, that's just my opinion.
