The RG3 Sucks - Knee Jerk Reaction Thread

If the line doesn't get better, Griffin will never improve and any other QB we draft will go through the same thing.

You can't be the #2 overall pick, have had multiple draft picks traded for you, play in a system designed for quick releases, be "renowned" for your mobility...and not carry any of the blame for the team's offensives struggles. You just can't

I don't think he is denying his culpability. He may not understand the extent of it, but I have never gotten the sense he doesn't look to himself for improvement first.

I'm talking more so about the fans

Maybe we could package RGIII and our #1 pick and thus move up high enough to draft a new franchise QB.

If Robert keeps playing as he has been, we shouldn't have far up to move.

Alternatively, we could re-install his college offense and win a few games until he gets the crap beaten out of him for good.

You have to be talking about Winston. Anyone else is going to fall to where the Skins will draft. And I have had quite enough of moving up "to draft a new franchise QB" that has never played in a pro style offense. Plus Winston has so much baggage that he needs a Skycap to follow him around.

I would give up every 2015 pick we have to get Mariota. That dude is going to be a monster unless he ends up with the Redskins or Raiders.

So why give up every pick if we will just ruin him (which we will, until we fix our OL)?

I thought smoot was implying that sir lk was not blaming Griff, not Griff himself.

Cooley says RGIII "has the yips" because he is afraid of being hit. Could fear be the cause of his losing his poise and not executing the offense?

After 2 major knee surgeries to the same knee, knowing that one more will likely end his career how would most of us feel? I've been saying the same thing, he's playing scared and lacking confidence, not being able to focus. If he wants to make it in this league, he needs to get over it. Easier said than done.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's still a little shell shocked.

[calia]

Nor would I. Let's face it, we all cringe when we see he's about to have contact.

Brady was pretty rusty after his year out. Carson Palmer is a damn good QB but he was pretty bad for a year or two after the surgery.

It's obvious he is.

There is no other doubt that the guy who played in 2012 is in there somewhere because he was making these reads in 2013 as well.

Maybe it's as simple as... It's only been 12Q in this offense.

Jay even said he looks good in practice.. I'm not sure what is holding him back during the games.
