RG3 as a rookie outperformed McNabb's season here in every way possible, still a hard pill for McNabb to swallow I guess.

That's an even bigger indictment of Shanahan's defense in Washington than I was going for. The D in McNabb's year was horrible. Awful. Embarrassing. The fact last year's was even worse makes you wonder what the hell is going on.

If the turnaround in the second half of last season was because Haslett and maybe other coaches listened more to Fletcher and others, the problem was coaching? (Wondering what Matty/Smoot/other knowledgeable people say specifically.)

I knew somehow you'd spin that into a knock against Shanahan.

It makes McNabb look a lot worse than you were going for and RG3 even better.

We know what the main issues were with the D last year. Injuries and the secondary. Down the stretch they pulled it together.

To be as objective as possible, the level of offensive talent and cohesion was far worse under mcnabb than it was for rg3. Regardless, mcnabb still sucks, and his mama is so fat!

Maybe part of that was because of RG3. He makes everyone on the team better, and they rally around him.

I actually used to like McNabb. Not anymore.

Hey look. Goat is sticking up for someone who trashes the Shanahans.

Ahhh ... it's like we are right back in the season again! Thanks Goat for the fond memories.

That train is always on time.

What a sad, sad, delusional troll D Mac has become...

Someone needs a hug because it sounds like their self-esteem is low.

I guess Donovan's mom did the Chunky Soup commercials for the paycheck, not because she loved him.

Please leave family out of it. Donovans mom doesnt need to be inserted, and certainly doesnt need to have it thrown out that she doesnt love him. Of course she did that commercial for a paycheck (if that is actually her and not an actress, I honestly dont know), but that doesnt mean anything when it comes to whether she loves her children. If RG3's mom and/or dad were offered money to do a commercial with their son, I would have no problem with it and would never claim that they are using their son for a paycheck. Thats a pretty low blow to be honest, and im someone who cant stand McNabb.

You had to go there.

Donovans mom is so fat when she dances the band skips.

Wait a second. Didn't Donovan go after RGIII's father? Yes he did, so I'd say his family is fair game as well since he's in the mood to dish out opinions on a public forum about individuals and their family members.

Saying that RG3's dad should have said it privately instead of publicly is not attacking his dad.

Saying someones parents dont love them is bush league. Thats making McNabb look good instead of like the bitter troll that he is.

Doesn't matter. McNabb is out of bounds discussing somebody else family member. Period. All McNabb did was alienate himself from RGIII. You think Robert wants anything to do with this clown now? Especially seeing how and what was said prior, and now saying things about what his dad should and should not do?

I don't get what is so delusional about what he said. For the past month it has been sort of a circus with the PR stunts, etc. Robert just needs to focus on one thing, getting healthy, and not try to rush things. Trying to be Superman and coming back out against Seattle was a bad decision that could still have ramifications on his career. Kid has to cool it and come back to earth so he can soar later on.

[GusFrerotte]

I don't think Donovan's advice was that controversial or as badmouthing RG III about all the attention as the media tried to play it as. Robert needs to just focus on his rehab and nothing more. What has transpired over the post draft offseason is a bit much, and to be honest almost borders on being "Bieberesque" or "Kardashian". Yeah you can blame the media for sure for covering this stuff, but these PR stunts are pointless. Robert just needs to focus on rehab and getting himself ready for training camp if he can participate. There is no need to get yourself in the media at this point.
