Who will we hound for insider info now?!

At this point it probably doesn't even matter, I guess. It's a full on shit show in all directions.

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

I think it's about time to end this circus. RG3 performance on the field has been below average over the last two seasons. If that wasn't bad enough all the drama that comes with him makes things even worse. The team would be better off with him off it.

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

Nothing short of a miracle keeps RG3 on the roster by week 1. I can't see them parking him at 3rd string, nor can I see anyone trading for him. That 16 million dollar option just kills his tradeability.

Picking up that option ironically doomed RG3 to end his tenure here with just getting outright cut.

Whatever happens, I just want it to happen NOW, and so we can move on and talk about X's and O's.

Was just talking to my brother about that one about 10 minutes ago. Also guarantees he doesn't end up in the division.

Man that would be awkward though....

We're already in full awkward mode. I think deactivating him makes the most sense right now.

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

I would deactivate him and he'd be 3rd string. Maybe someone offers you a draft pick if a QB goes down. Cutting him loose makes no sense to me.

Cutting him loose makes sense to me because

1) The circus is over. You cut ties and say, "Hey Fresh start for both of us, just didnt work out, blah blah". It's over, the RG3 drama can end TODAY

2) How much value is a third string QB really? You're not gaining anything by keeping him. Just a distraction

3) He can still get hurt in practice. That means you are on the hook for the $16 million. No sense in taking that risk.

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

[quote=ethat001;1118361]

WORST case scenario is we cut him, and the Eagles pick him up.. He'd have a much higher chance of doing well in that offense, and there's near certainty Bradford gets injured at one point. Would HATE HATE to see him beat us, since there is probably some potential for Griffin doing okay on another team.[/quote]


I'd like to see him in Philly. It's his best chance. If he is successful then I'll eat crow but much like the Eagles when they let McNabb go to the Redskins, I'm pretty confident that he fails there too and at least then people will realize just how bad he is. I'm not convinced that KC is ready to take this team to 10 win seasons but this is a team sport and having a QB who fits into the system and can manage the game would help make huge strides in setting the direction for this team. Give KC two years as the lone starter without the RG3, emphasize the run with Jones and Alf and spend the next 2 years drafting in the trenches and secondary. Continuity and vision is king.

Come'on you knew this RG3 was gonna end bad and stir drama.

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

Bradford looked all world in his last game and Sanchez doesnt look horrible....why would the Eagles want Griffin, hes more fragile than Bradford.

If only Snyder could see past his ego. See Sunk Cost Fallacy. The draft picks are gone. Never to be seen again. That ship has sailed. Suck it up and realize that sometimes things don't work out and cut the kid. Right now the distraction is just not worth any potential gain.

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

It's pretty obvious that KC is going to be the starter moving forward. Gruden knew that Griffin wasn't his guy last pre season.

Lesson to be learned by Snyder. Stop being buddies with the players. They are your employees and it's your place of business. Treat it as such.

Send Bob packing. I have had enough.

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

I don't see the doom and gloom that some of you feel. I think it is great that the team is closer to making the correct decision of parting ways with RGIII. Yes, it sucks it did not work out and to hear all of the Dan Snyder/Redskins hate on the national media this morning.
But with the option year on RGIII's contract makes it difficult for him to be on anyones roster in 2016. He will have to be cut and a new minimum contract would have be created. Nobody will offer us a low round draft pick with his contract and that huge cap hit in 2016 in place.

Godspeed SS. I hope you find what you seek. If this year is another repeat of last year I too will probably take a break. The last few years have felt like we keep descending levels of football hell.

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

WTF???? More reports that Darth Snyder DID NOT block the Rg3 moves?
Nooooooooo...............

Two people with knowledge of the team’s planning each said Snyder is not blocking his front office and coaching staff from trading Griffin. One called an ESPN report that suggested that, “100 percent wrong.”

The RG3 era is over. At this point, you HAVE to cut the guy. The distraction with him on the team would be overwhelming to keep him.

Oh God, do I know it. I work in Baltimore. I feel like their fandom feels like how much everyone loved the Redskins in their heyday.

It both sickens me and makes me jealous.

Hang your head.....naught. It is indeed a time to rejoice as ownership, coaching staff and Mgmt are on the same page and positioning to have a competitive season. Really happy with our Skins for the unified effort to get this done BEFORE the season starts.....
Sucks for Robert and I really like that kid, but had be done.

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

I tried to trade RG3 in madden last night and all 31 teams had a "red" interest level.

breaking up is never easy.

after a few regular season games, some good D, maybe a 2-2 start and all this RG3 talk will be in the rear view mirror and we will be talking football Xs and Os, stats, how callahan and grays schemes work or dont work etc.

regular football talk is coming.

All is well.
--------------------------

Pretty sure if a person wants to change fandom they need to go to the last place team. How do you look in that jags teal and sand brown? What happens if the skins finish last? I think you have the option to just retire or stay a skins fan for 1 more year.

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

If/when RGIII is released, I would like to see Scot McC go after Jared Goff QB out of Cal-Berkeley in next years draft, he's the second coming of A. Rodgers.

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

So were drafting within the first five picks again next year....great.....
