This is blatant racism. He is not starting Cousins because he cares about Cousins health more - he is starting Griffin so that he can get injured and Cousins can come in and take over.

Even with this statement, that hatters will continue to hatte. their track record proves it.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

Great news. So glad Shanahan is putting RG 3 with the starters. No need to even mess around. And it looks like RG3 is really picking things up playbook wise.

....once he passes the conditioning test...

What about Beck's? I'm sure he's broken up about it.

I hadn't seen these posted and didn't necessarily want to start a new thread with them... but these are your first pics of RGIII in uniform!

Is there anyone here who honestly believe there was any chance at all that RG3 is not the starter?

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

I want the job :( . RG3 must have been very , very impressive !!!!

That's what I was thinking, I thought this thread was a joke. But I didn't wanna be like, "Wasn't he always going to be the starter?" Then everyone be like, "Yeah... That was the point."

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

This is unprecedented. I can't say I expected this......AT ALL.

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.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

That's not fair, Rex should be able to compete...:silly:

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

Probably posted before but just in case people were doubtful that a rift was developing between RG3 and Cousins.

This is going to get ugly.

Well he should he's had the playbook since like 2 weeks after the Combine when KS was visiting him and helping him understand the playbook. ;)

Am I freaking out or is there motion blur in that picture?

GOOD! Will RG3 have his ups and downs, sure but the kid can play. Let him take the helm.

I know, there are unconfimed (at this time) reports that RG3 used all the PACE Picante sauce, and didn't leave any left for Kirk.

He's so damn fast no camera can get a sharp picture of him!!

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

At least Mike Shanahan didn't delay to the preseason. He obviously feels good about Grifffin III's chances of excelling in his offense. I was thinking that RG3 would be named the starter by the third preseason game, but why wait that long? Griffin III should be the starter.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

Did anyone read the insider post on the WP? If you haven't go read it. RG impressed the hell out of MS this weekend and is the only rookie qb he has ever coached that didn't miss a call or read during their first mini camp. Oh oh I got a feeling, I got a feeling that I never ever has before!

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

Bad flash back Dirt I don't see a thing.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

We have to protect Robert at all costs. I really hope the big beef that we drafted can actually make the team and help shore up the o line. I didn't realize Robert was that thin!!!!!!!

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

He makes me look fat!!!!!!

Is it too early to start the "Bench RGIII for Cousins" thread?

I was thinking more like 1st quarter of the first preseason game.

Thanks for the assist LTF, haven't figured out how to copy and paste from phone.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

Uh-Oh....this is what happened to Patrick Ramsey............

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

Oh boy. I am putting those memories behind and starting fresh with this kid. RG III is A much better prospect then pr ever was.

You're welcome....This move also serves to defuse any talk or thoughts of a possible QB controversy.

We all know that there never was nor would there be a qb controversy unless rgiii was a complete bust. Which doesn't seem to be the case. But yes the national media needs to put the story to pasture and get behind the qb in Washington.
