A question for all Redskins fans.....

In fact can anyone name a starting QB in the last 25 years that had a career of 5 years or less due to injury?

Can anybody name a QB from the last 25 years who ran more than RG in a single season? Name an offense more dependent on the QB (specifically) running the ball to be successful? Name one who suffered a concussion and a blown knee in his rookie season?

Seems like we're in new territory on several fronts, and they're not all good (already).

But seriously, I hope this is a moot point. Improve the offense (to protect your franchise QB), improve the pass protection, and teach RG to slide and get out of bounce. We see examples of it across the league. Just do it.

You really need to try a little harder.

Griffin ran 120 times this year.

Newton ran 127 times this year and 126 times last year.

Vick ran 120 times in 2004 and 123 times in 2006.

Tebow ran it 122 times in 2011.

I'm sure there are others.

Get in line. I'm still trying to get him to explain this.

Much larger/stouter? Am I missing something here?

Good luck with that. I'm sure you'll hear crickets.

I still do not understand why so many people call him small. 6'2" is not a midget like people make him out to be. He's not fragile-looking either, I've seen him up close in person. He walked right in front of me several times and I was really impressed by his build and how muscular he was. RGIII is a solidly-built, world-class athlete.

Yet, people say he needs to add weight or call him short. Sure, beside Tyler Polumbus and Logan Paulsen, anyone looks small.

You're brighter than that...you know I was talking yards. He set a record.

He set the rookie record.

You still lose.

It's the team that loses (if RG remains a running QB). I'm looking at the forest through the trees. Have no idea what you're looking at.

I agree he needs to run less (and be more smart about it when he does), but that's more on him and not a function of the offense. They cut way back on the designed runs as the season went on.

I still think it's ridiculous to think he's going to play less than 5 years. That's how this started and you've been skirting around it since.

Huh? If nothing changes i.e. he continues to take the same level of punishment, I totally expect he's a five year starter at best and that's with time missed similar to what we've already seen. Is that what you're asking?
