That would be me, but not sure I recall saying cut him. I believe I did call him camp fodder, but that was at the beginning of camp.

Gruden: So so on him as a person, thought he'd be the perfect QB to execute his offense for this year. Knows ceiling is limited though

So is there something about KC's personality that Gruden is "so-so" on him as a person? Thanks for the scoop by the way.

Is it that he has to unlearn bad habits? Is he incapable of anticipating/trusting receivers? Does he not have pocket sense? Unilke reading D's - which is a learnable skill, is RGIII lacking one of the innate unteachable skills necessary for a QB?.

You probably won't find a better prospect at the QB position than Robert. His problem is that he was tutored in a spread offense in college. That means he's a whole 4 years behind the likes of Cousins, Luck, etc and any other QB coming from a pro-style college. It's a lot to ask for any individual which is why I generally do no want these types of QBs in a pro-style in the NFL. He has 10 times the type of talent that Cousins has, but the offense ran smoother when Cousins was at the helm. (minus the TOs) Guys like Robert, Cam, and other QBs coming from these types of college offenses are projects and they should be treated as such. By making them learn the game from the sideline until they can show that they can master it. That said, most teams/owners/fans are too impatient to allow that to happen. They expect the guy drafted in the top 10 to play immediately. Gone are the days where the top picks sat on the bench first. (palmer/rivers/eli/rodgers/etc)
