I am surprised they didn't call a penalty, looked like a shot to the back of the head [sarcasm]

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

I was just in my friends shop here in Fredericksburg and the NFLPA RG3 shirts are already out in the retail world. They didn't waste any time.

In all seriousness though I'm a little worried that Griffin isn't wearing a rib protector as we all know to well the potential hits that mobile QB's can face on gameday.

.....or maybe RG3's wearing one but it's hard to see due to his lean frame?

Update: Never mind, found a few pictures of him at Baylor wearing one. Good to know, those ribs are worth millions upon millions of dollars according to Don Lapre.[/quote]

i agree. To be honest... ive read into that for awhile. I think hell be fine as long as he stays on that field.
GET THE KID A DAMN RIB PROTECTOR lol

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

He wears a rib protector and I'm pretty sure all QB's today wear a rib protector. Can't think of any off the top of my head that don't wear one.

He wears a rib protecter folks. Next.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

^ Yep. Why would he need one for a photo shoot? Relax, people.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

Griff making another smart move...trademarking his name and the variations of it.

Smart man!

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

Didn't Lavar try something similar, and nearly got in a fight with the NFLPA because they have some sort of rights agreement. I probably am the only one, but I think this is a misstep. One of those legal savvy PR bad moves that may end up hurting him (think Bentley only bigger)

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

Arrington didn't want his name used for jersey sales unless he got a bigger cut. I think this situation is different.

Just check out eBay and all of the fake/generic "RG3" shirts. This is a move he needed to make.

Lavar's situation is completely different, he had no nickname/moniker to protect.

Ahhh good memory sir. I think Griffin is confident, but not arrogant like Arrington.
