Doing less commercials is not going to make him a better QB. Being completely healthy, without a knee brace, with the benefit of a full second offseason, and having some good talent around him is what's going to make him a better QB.

Exactly.

And just because he does commercials he's supposed to take all this stupid and unfair criticism without being able to say anything?

Dumb.

Well said.

And he needs that talent on both sides of the ball.

He needs a Defense and Special Teams that can tackle, are not always getting burned over the middle and in the backfield, and are not always giving up the big play when it really matters; giving up an average 300 yards and 30 points per game is NOT surrounding him with talent. All of his contemporaries have a complimentary solid unit on the other side of the ball - and in the case of the Seachickens it's flat-out sick.

Thinking like this, though, requires some perspective, which is in short supply.

It's really really simple. If you don't want the heat from the attention you draw to yourself via marketing, don't do it. That attention works both positively and negatively depending on the circumstances. I've noted that there would be a circus regardless, but by putting oneself into the spotlight, you draw yet additional attention that probably wouldn't be as magnified had you not put yourself out there. You don't think that dumbass "ALL IN FOR WEEK ONE" bullshit didn't put pressure on people in that organization? You are very shortsighted if you think not.

I don't think anybody is asking him to live in a bunker or stop living his life. He needs (and you fans do as well) need to stop talking about the media negativity towards him while he's continually throwing his image out there via ads/promotions/etc..

If communication was his major, he must have been asleep in class during those lectures, because he failed horribly at communication during this past off-season on through the season.


ps. Communications isn't a major that trains one how to market themselves. That would be Marketing.

The end of the season?

Peeps been waxing stupid since the Green Bay loss. The lack of critical thinking surrounding this bad season (a bad season, nothing more) and the sheer amount of it, at this point, is almost surreal.

I see more McD's commercials with Colin Gangsternick and Joe Flacco than Griffin commercials in total. Seems like they have a new one every month.

No one criticizes them for commercials. Flacco's team missed the playoffs after he started doing all of these commercials, going to blame Joe?

I don't even see many RGIII commercials anymore aside from him popping onto the screen for 2 seconds to say "Eat Fresh". The Adidas and Gatorade don't even show any more, at least where I live.

Would anybody know about this guy if he wasn't the OC for Peyton? If Clev hires Gase that would a complete joke to their fan base.

Hopefully he doesn't forget to find a quality backup qb this time.

Leave it to Deion to make a mockery of an already ridiculous game.
