Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015

And yet, After all we put in to drafting him, to give up on him after 3 years, one of which he brought us to the playoffs, it just doesn't sit right with me. I mean, we gave Jason Campbell more time than that, and sure, he was a robot and didn't give the media much to play with, but I wouldn't characterize him as an inspirational leader either, right?
Campbell Stats
2009 Redskins 64.5 3,618 20 15 86.4
2008 Redskins 62.3 3,245 13 6 84.3
2007 Redskins 60.0 2,700 12 11 77.6
2006 Redskins 53.1 1,297 10 6 76.5
RG3 Stats
2014 Redskins 68.7 1,694 4 6 86.9
2013 Redskins 60.1 3,203 16 12 82.2
2012 Redskins 65.6 3,200 20 5 102.4
If Scot was not here I would be squarely against this move. But I will put my faith behind him over RG3 for sure

2 big differences are the injuries, and the locker room distraction. If Griffin came everyday, didn't create media storms with his mantras, and stayed healthy, we probably would not be at this point.
Of course maybe it's for the better that this didn't go another year.
