My early sb predict: Skins vs Ravens

Re: Expectations for Griff and the 2012 Offense
 

Why are so many people calling for our QB to be injured? Sickos.

He's not injury-prone, why the predictions? Don't bring up his size, we've seen Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Tony Romo, Mike Vick, McNabb all play QB effectively and are shorter than Griffin.

My SB prediction: Redskins v. Saints - the rematch...

Don't ask me how that would work, but it would.

From no playoff victories to Super Bowl birth.

I too find it odd when people predict someone is going to get hurt.

Especially on your own team!

It's understandable to expect an injury-prone player like Vick to get hurt, but a rookie, who hasn't been injury-prone, on your OWN TEAM?

We have so many pessimists here. I've suffered for 20 years too but these thoughts don't enter my mind....I just want to see the team win.

Moved straight to Hall of Famer? I like it.

This started out as an interesting thread. What happened?

People like hating. They know that RG3 is the real deal and to prevent him from tearing up their favorite teams defenses, they would rather see him carted off the field. I'm not even going to lie. I once wished the same on Tony Romo and Tom Brady, two QBs I hate the most.

Griffin's already had a torn ACL. Depending on how his track career went, he could be very durable, or have worn out ankles or knees like lots of runners in college do (nothing hobbling but would take it's toll on continued workout like say NFL).

He's really not small, and depending on the scheme the Shannys run, it could be one of those situations where he's safer out of the pocket planned or not, lol. But Griffin's no big guy like Cam Newton or young Ben Rothlisberger shaking off tacklers either. Compared to guys like Luck, Griffin seems small.

Our O-Line wasn't that good last year. I could be wrong but I think we were better run blocking than pass pro. Rex was a vet capable of hiding our OL flaws by either throwing very quickly or last second. Beck tried running, ooh boy. :doh: Griffin is a whole another league in mobility, but our line just wasn't that good IMO.

If Griffin can stay healthy, we might have a special season. I'm not guaranteeing Griffin won't start all 16+ games. Just I hope our OL and the Shanahans help protect him well, because a QB that runs or is behind a poor OL is going to get hit a lot in this league. And we have at least a little of both.

[quote=Mattyk;926205]I too find it odd when people predict someone is going to get hurt.[/quote]I hope Griffin doesn't! If he catches fire, and our defense plays like last season, we might make a SB run.

It's just that the past 20 years of Redskin football have taught me not to be too optimistic. I'm hoping whatever setbacks we have this year, we make progress forward.

Super bowl = lions vs patriots
