Looking at the reader comments is telling. Why all the sudden vitriol against RGIII ?

One guys says "RGIII = Akili Smith. BUST!" Couldn't the same be said of Andrew Luck and Tim Couch?

It could also be more proof of my hunch that the Redskins are just one of those teams that people love to hate, and as soon as a potential draft pick becomes associated with Washington, public sentiment tends to turn against them.

Best to avoid the comments on PFT regarding ANY topic, for the most part it's full of haters and morons. Some comments are worthwhile, but you have to wade through some serious BS to find them.

Most of that hatte is coming from Eagles, Cowbitchs and Browns fans who would all trade their QB and picks to get RGIII. Its really quite funny. Most are just pissed at their situation, but they are fair weathered and im sure if there team had moved up to get RG3 they would be singing his praises. Eagles, Cowgurls and Browns fans about as 2 faced as they come.

I hope they know that all this does is fuel RGIII to prove the haters wrong. I have said that Griffin is "the real deal" since October and all we have to do as a fan base is support him thru the learning process and everything will be fine!
What the article said about his father clearing his head about winning the Heisman is all I need to know about his focus. We are going to have a good one and Snyder haters hate it!
