I hope I'm wrong. I'd love for him to turn into a franchise QB. Between his fragility and his ego - I don't see it being possible. Every time he gets hit, which is a lot, I don't think he'll get back up.

Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015
What is really telling to me is the part in the Post article where Andy Benoit talks about RG having no sense of basic QBing fundamentals and he has leaps and bounds to go to be an average QB. The sad part is that he's right. Its not like all of a sudden RG is going to light it up this year and look like the second coming of Steve Young, he needs to look like he can actually play QB in the NFL. At this point in his career I think the best that can be expected of RG is that he can develop into a serviceable NFL QB who wont make mistakes and cost his team the game.

Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015
I think you give Griffin all of camp and the first four weeks. If it's more of the same then put in KC and give him the rest of the season. We can't have another season where the QB is limited when it comes to the playbook, and all the dink and dunk stuff. I know it's a re-build but you still have to try and win games. You still have to try and get the ball to your playmakers.

“Trusting the route, trusting the protection, trusting your footwork,” Cavanaugh said. “I mean, it’s that simple. We always say that you throw with your feet to stay in rhythm. So if you say that I took the proper drop, I took one hitch and No. 1 wasn’t open, I’ve got to get off him. I can’t wait. I can’t wait thinking he might come open if I just hold onto the ball a little bit longer, because then you’re going to be late going to No. 2 and No. 3. And that’s typically a progression read. But your feet’ll tell you if No. 1’s open.” Larry Michael won’t ask Matt Cavanaugh questions about RGIII - The Washington Post its a good read, kinda funny the writer called out homer larry michael as well. its his job, i get it, i dont hate larry for it, i almost admirer his ability to keep a straight face while trying to appear objective |

I think we will know pretty quickly if RGIII is going to buy into the system/coaching or will he be the arrogant, petulant child that gives up on the called play and takes off running. When things do not go as planned in a game, as they always do for every Qb, how will he handle it? That will tell us if he has any chance of a future in the NFL as as a starter either with us or possibly with another team. I want to him to be great...with us. It will be an uphill battle. |

I think Heath Shuler is a much bigger bust in terms of Redskins history. That said,the RGIII trade will go down as the worst ever in NFL history should he turn out to be a bust. Quote:
There is no way you can give him four weeks. Gruden's job depends on us doing well or he's out of here. If he shits the bed in training camp, you start Kirk Cousins. Even if he does start Robert for game 1, you can't go more than 2 weeks of bad play before you yank him.

Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015
Griffin turning his career around is inextricably linked to Jay's relationship with him and Jay's belief in Griffin as well as Jay's own improvement as a HC-playcaller.
If Jay doesn't have more faith in Griffin then he did last year then its only a matter of time before Jay is gonna want someone else in there. |

Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015
There seems to be more internal politics involved in the QB position this season and we have a new GM, so I doubt that Jay has the authority to make any significant decisions regarding RGIII on his own. With that in mind, I can't imagine RGIII losing his starting position before Game 5 regardless of how poorly he plays.

i guess the counter argument is that through practice, film study etc, jay doesnt think RG3 can handle the same play calling .. that RG3 needs first read only looks and cant handle going through multiple progressions or being asked to read both sides of the field etc ... should Counsins and RG3 have the same playcalling? identical or just some wrinkles specific to what each player does well? i personally think like the seeming majority here, RG3 just doesnt have the fundamentals of pocket passing to execute a pocket passing/timing offense ....... but im starting to think maybe he should be forced to run the same play calling and see what happens. or jay has called the same plays in certain games and RG3 just didnt excel .. he has had some dud games. |

A play caller needs to understand the strengths of who he is calling the game for, otherwise they are a terrible play caller. If RG3 cant succeed based on an offense that is being called to his strengths, move on to Cousins or McCoy. But dont dare call the same plays regardless, that just means you cant figure out someone strengths or weaknesses, which means you shouldnt have that job in the first place. |
