Oh yessss!!! :cool-smil

Re: Kudos to RG III
 

Great picture but I hate "The Boy They Couldn't Kill" line above his head. Bad placement and it's huge too. Makes it look related to the picture but it's not.

Congrats, Robert...the first of many covers.

Maybe soon you'll be holding a Lombardi on the cover.

Re: Kudos to RG III
 

Isn't there a curse to having your pic on the front of SI.?

Re: Kudos to RG III
 

Is SI regionalizing covers this week? Because there's also an issue with Peyton Manning on the cover

Thats ESPN-like right there putting that headline over RG3s head even though there not related it seems like New Orleans couldn't kill/put a bounty on him haha. Great shot though.

Re: Kudos to RG III
 

[quote=County;939665]I was thinking this today.

Imagine if RGIII lights it up against Bradford and Co next? What will the suits be thinking on the Rams sideline:doh:[/quote]

I hope Allen and Shanahan are ticked at the Rams for giving what was kind of a sweetheart deal to the Cowboys for our original pick, and let loose all kinds of various whoop ass!

Glad I'm not the only one...you're right, looks like the Saints had a bounty on him and look at the picture...he ran away from it.

Bad judgment!

Bad judgment![/quote]especially when "boy" can be considered a derogatory term in a racial context

Re: Kudos to RG III
 

Geesh. Racism here, racism there.

I would have never thought that "boy" could be racist.

What does "girl" mean?

If we replace them with "male" and "female", does it offend the sexually-confused now?



OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK in a debut game? That's insane. We're very lucky right now. We need to really appreciate these days...he could be a once-in-a-lifetime player for Redskins fans.

not to hijack, but honestly, if the bolded statement is true then you are in a parallel universe, or extremely naive (which I don't believe). The term "boy" is an extremely derogative and racist reference, period end of statement.

In a racism context, it'd actually be, "gal". Feels weird when I have someone call me that.

Anywaaaay.

I dont want to ever hear RG-3 and Tim Tebow mentioned in the same breath again......

:vomit:

That whole article should have been boiled down to one quote:

Madden: "...RGIII’s the best player in the NFL today."

Re: Kudos to RG III
 

I suggest everyone on this board who has showtime, watch inside the NFL at 9, I expect to hear great things and analysis from Cris Collinsworth and Phil Simms

Re: Kudos to RG III
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;939945]I don't agree with tebow I'd say more vick[/quote]

I think his basic point is how he can freeze a defense with the option stuff, like Tebow. Outside of that I don't think there's any comparing the two.

Re: Kudos to RG III
 

Do they run the option with Vick in Philly?

From what I have seen, Griff is something completely different from Vick and Tebow. Neither of them is the pure passer that RGIII is. Vick is a running threat that has a rocket arm and Tebow is all about the option. Griff can run, has a rocket arm and plays the option well. At the same time, even at this early stage of his career, he is so far ahead of both of them as a passer that the comparisons are incomplete at best. His ability as a passer makes a better running threat than Vick and a better option QB than Tebow.

Agreed. Griff has field vision that Vick lacks. It is hard to imagine Vick making that big throw to Davis the other day because Vick likely would not have seen him.

I believe that's the name of the first chapter of the first Harry Potter book. It was something like, "The Boy Who Couldn't Be Killed" or something like that.

By the way, RGIII was 8-9 on blitzes, including the 88 yard TD to Garcon. Rex gets sacked 4-5 times on those plays and dummies respond, "We could have Tom Brady as our QB, and he would struggle behind that O-line".

the shirt that he wrote "heart" on w the right sleeve trimmed would look much sharper - would replace the sleeve and the gray short sleeve shirt

Poor Kirk

Re: Kudos to RG III
 

I wonder how good he is with his left arm. For example, if RGIII hurt his right arm/hand and couldnt throw, would Cousins play or would RGIII still play... lets hope we never have to find out.

Re: Kudos to RG III
 

That's amazing...keeping his left arm warmed up in case he needs it. I actually believe him too.

Someday, we're going to see a left-handed TD pass...probably on a scramble.
