Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015

Griffin took 18 snaps:

Snap Judgments: Redskins @ Browns Snap Counts - Hogs Haven

Aaron Rodgers took 33 snaps:

Green Bay Packers vs. New England Patriots - Play By Play - August 13, 2015 - ESPN

I first heard this comparison on the radio.

If developing Griffin is the goal, why was his play limited to 18 snaps (and only 8 passes) compared to Rodgers' 33 snaps?

Thats what I've been saying since Griff got here! I do not understand the mentality of not playing someone who needs the practice in preseason.Its like no coach is afraid to change because if someone gets hurt then the media will roast them.

Who says what Green Bay does is the benchmark?

Regardless of what GB does, and not sure where I saw it, but last year had one of the lowest snap counts of any starter during preseason. I am betting if look around the league, most starters had more than eight attempts and 18 snaps. I could be wrong.

Regardless, the kid needs the work.

Man. You guys make up some of the craziest shit. If all Redskin fans believe a little bit of gossip and make it truth like some of you do. Well, it's no wonder our fan base is full of extremists.

RG3 has never conflicting to coaches teachings. No reporter has ever reported that as FACT. It's all hear say and propaganda.

[edit]

Agree, would love to see the first team get practice -- although admittedly this is the most the starters have done since

And Rodgers - honestly I'm not sure it's smart to play your franchise QB that much -- Rodgers usually gets hit a lot out there. But whatever they want..

Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015

Rodgers, Bortles, and Bridgewater are the only starting QBs in the top 25 for pass attempts so far

NFL Stats: by Player Category

Starters usually get the quick hook in the first game, if they play at all, let's see how the rest of the preseason goes.

I can careless if the quote was out of context. He should know by now that everything that he says will be twisted and turned into a controversy. Yes just not getting it.

Then why care?

If he goes out and gives Belicheck type answers, he will be criticized (as was shown by his "waiting for San Fran" press conference). If he were to pull a Marshawn Lynch he would be criticized for that. If he gives a truthful answer, he will be criticized. Why care?

You want him to give specific answers. But if he does give the exact answer you want to hear, he will be criticized. It will be parsed til hell freezes over and whatever context is needed to create a controversy, it will be given using that context, even if everyone knows it was taken out of context. So knowing that... again... Why care?

I still have not figured out why so much is made over a twitter response by someone who gets paid to create a controversy if one is not immediately available for them to report on.
