Why I'm Not Gonna Panic About Our QB

BTW, all this QB controversy is baloney. There is no QB controversy because the Skins didnt give up all those draft pick for RG3 to not play. RG3 is the QB until something catastrophic happens.

Like I said earlier, we didn't see what he does well in the preseason. There were very few, if any bubble screens, no play action, no rollouts, no misdirection. Every pass he threw was a designed pocket play. Maybe, just maybe, that was so Gruden can evaluate the line, and Griffin's pocket awareness. There will be plays where Griffin has to stand in the pocket and deliver, but at least at first, I doubt that will be our primary offensive plan. We should see heavy run and play action in the early downs, and rollouts and bubble screens on 2nd/3rd intermediate downs.

Would everyone feel better if we had him hit a few quick screens, maybe some read option, and get some easy completions and have some pretty preseason numbers? In the end does that really help him vs working on getting through reads and working on improving?

RG3 has strengths and weaknesses.

He needs to learn to see the field better, anticipate and make better decisions.

We win or lose with RG3.

I am a RG3 fan and believer. We will be a SB contender in the next 5 years if we build with him and no major injuries.

what im really writing for - im pretty sure it was the browns game where RG3 hit andre roberts for that long pass at the end of the 1st quarter. the camera showed rg3 running down the field anticipating getting into a huddle and looked back and realized everyone else was taking off their helmets and sauntering over to the sideline ... apparently everyone else was aware of the time on the clock except RG3 ... maybe he was excited about the long strike and forgot ... just odd. you have to know down distance and clock. every snap, every play.

Is there anybody who may remotely consider the possibility of dishing Captain Kirk to STL to recoup at least something from that RGIII trade? I know that it's risky, but maybe just the act of getting Cousins out of town could help stabilize things

My biggest concern is that to improve you have to know you need to improve. RG3's attitude has not been, "I need to improve", it has been "I am great, but I am being held back by coaches, teammates, injury, haters, doubters, etc". Always excuses.

I just don't think he gets it.

That's not reflected in how he works on and off the field. He puts in the time and effort, and the some.

Sally Jenkins? I don't know. At times it almost seemed like she had a thing for him, but then she also wrote pieces like this. I think she just loves the controversial and negative. Honestly, I think she could write an article demeaning Alfred Morris.

How do you know that's his attitude? I ask, because, I never really hear that in his answers, admittedly he doesn't speak in "I" terms either, but I think that comes from his dad's upbringing, there is no I in team so to speak. Speaking only to his work habits that have been reported, I think he absolutely looks at his mistakes and works to improve consistently.

Should we have a QB starter poll? RG3, Kirk, Colt, Tebow or bring back Colt Brennan

I think Brennan's melon is damaged. Has anybody seen Scott Mitchel these days I saw him on the previews for this weight loss show last night he weighs like 400 lbs.
