Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015
I don't know, maybe it's me, but I felt the "I just work here, man," comment was about RG3 trying to avoid media criticism. This is why I think that:
The question was something to the effect of, "Was there any concern about you going back in, was there any discussion with the coaches about whether or not it was a good idea to have you go back in with the number of times you were getting hit?"
Ok so, he might have said:
1. "Yeah, I told him I wanted to keep playing no matter what because that is what a true competitor does."
And if he did, the media would say stuff like . . . why is RG3 in the discussion, this is a coaches decision, I wonder if RG2 was involved too, Gruden is a bad coach for listening to the player the decision is his to make, RG3 still has no perspective about protecting himself its all good to be a competitor but to risk the season because of pride he's not looking out for the good of the team more RGme.
2. "Yeah, we all decided to keep me in there because we wanted to try to make progress with the first team Offense."
Again they would say, why is he involved in the decision making process blah blah blah, he's just saying exactly what Gruden said and obviously he thinks something different or it wouldn't sound so contrived
3. "Yeah, but in retrospect maybe I should have come out sooner."
Now he's throwing the coach under the bus, there is a disconnect between QB and HC, he's just trying to protect himself why else would he not want to stay in the game maybe he's being traded and he knows it and he's just trying to survive . . . blah blah blah
So, yeah, I guess he could have said, "NO, that is a coaching decision, but I have a lot of faith in Gruden and his judgement. It is never an easy decision to make, but I stand by what he decided."
Where does RG3 come off thinking he's a good judge of coaching prowess? Not only does he think he's the best QB in the league, but a coaching talent scout too? Why is he commenting on the decision anyways, it is not his place. He knows it was a bad decision otherwise why would he feel a need to defend it, he's just biding his time.
This is easier and more fun then I thought
