Griffin Out For Undetermined Time, It's Cousins Time

The RG3 pick was vetted a million times before the pick was made. That was a scientific pick. Let the young fella mature. We could always sign Schaub if we want the next drop back passer.

You make an excellent point here. I believe that he can be outstanding in time and very good soon. I mean, what tool doesn't he have? He's highly intelligent and hard working; therefore, he will learn to play the way he needs to play in the NFL.

As always, the only caveat is his propensity to get injured. To me, he is like a gazelle running in a buffalo herd; the gazelle is bound to get hurt.

Yes sir, this is what I keep telling myself. Was just saying so at dinner the other night and how much I want RG to be the NFL's next great comeback story.

He needs to play smarter though, in several ways. Protect the football and his body.

Hello Warpath, been reading here a long time and finally decided to chime in!

He hasn't shown that he can run a real NFL offense. A lot of guys can look good in shorts tossing the ball around. But can he convert 3rd downs, stop taking sacks and learn to stay patient in the pocket? I'd like to see theses things when he comes back, plus a little read option.

When RGIII got hurt, it looked like he was starting to "get" the offense. I think he comes back rusty for a week or two and then lights it up.

I'm not disputing anything you posted but I believe in Robert. I was seeing improvement before he hurt his ankle. I believe that he'll develop into a complete QB sooner rather than later. I believe that he'll continue to get better for years to come. I believe that, in time, he has a chance to become a great NFL QB. I don't expect anyone else to believe in him as much as I do.

We'll as a Point of fact, in 2012, he did run (and pioneer) the offense that most of the NFL is running today. If you are referring to a Peyton style offense?
He was never drafted to do that nor would it be an acceptable use of many skill sets.....
If healthy, as Smoot pointed......he is raw. But he'll learn. Must stay healthy and get some consistent experience under his belt
