The RG3 Sucks - Knee Jerk Reaction Thread

This is a pretty damn good breakdown of how terrible RG3 was on Sunday. The mis-reads are even more egregious in hindsight.

I listened to it today and it was very insightful/depressing. Sounds like RGIII is missing a lot of stuff that should be second nature to him by now. I am still rooting for him to succeed but I would be lying if I said I wasn't running low on hope.

The article was brutal but fair. This had to be Robert's worst game as a Skin, by far. Really casts doubt as to whether he can ever perform at the NFL level.

How can watching him play poorly the last 2 seasons be a "knee jerk" reaction? He hasn't won a game in over a year...

[JWsleep]

The Cooley thing from top to bottom is devastating. Well, RGIII has a few games left to show something else. But his way of playing since he was a kid is not the pocket-passer pro way. He could just turn and run away from folks even at the college level. Can't do that here. Depressing.

I think it was NC that posted a breakdown of him during a play against the Ravens in preseason. The one where Reed was running wide open down the middle of the field, and he for some reason checked down to Helu or Morris? Garcon was never even looked at. He had a perfect pocket and all the time in the world. It was a real eye opener and I remember thinking, eh it is preseason maybe im making more out of it than need be. Ive thought about that play several times this year.

Knee Jerk Reaction? Bro, he's a 2nd over all pick making basic mistakes. After hearing what Gruden had to say he's actually worse than I thought. The guy is garbage and the window is almost closed on his career.


No tears here. Can't do epic shit with basic people (Snyder, Allen, Gruden, Haslett, et al).

Robert was asked about Jay's remarks to the media after the game. In a presser this morning, Robert responded with "Jay wants me to play better, I want to play better. We're focused on the niners.....next question"
Can't do better than that

If you listen to the entire thing that was his answer to every question. He made Belichick look like a blabbering schoolgirl.

I wish we, as a fan base, could give RG3 our full support for the next 6 games.

Yes, the TB game was epically bad but he should start every game going forward (barring an all out locker room revolt).

I saw a video of this old fat skins fans with a red mohawk screaming, spitting and booing at the skins players as they left the field on Sunday. He was probably 5 feet away from the players as they entered the tunnel. fucking repugnant. i wanted to reach through the tv screen and beat the skit out of that a-hole.

this RG3 fan hate needs to measured and scaled back.

this fan hate of the entire team needs to be scaled back.

the players are trying. RG3 is trying.

Trying is cute, this isn't intramurals.

Thank you for this reply. Its much nicer than mine. Which would have been eff them they deserve to be boo'd!

This is a systematic failure, sure he doesn't know the plays. Alot of morons cooperated on this one though. You have a QB that maybe had his ego get out of control. You have an owner with a Napoleon complex. We had a 60 year old HC who played games through the media. We can't seem to develop players at almost any position. Why did they think they could develop the most complicated position in sports.

This is the cleanest explanation I've read: systematic failure is the only way to explain how the team got to this point.

So what happened his first year? Did the read-option fool people so bad that he only had to hit one read? That's the part that makes me sad. I thought no one can fake setting NFL rookie records for accuracy, but he just might have.

He is broken physically and mentally. Teams don't really give a shit about him running the ball and that has hurt him in so many ways. He's panicky and you can't be that in pro football.
