From this article:

“I was trying to throw the ball in the back of the end zone,” SuperBob said. “It didn’t get to where I wanted it to go. Obviously I was on my heels. Something I can definitely learn from.”

Here’s something that hopefully SuperBob is learning in his second NFL season that he also clearly didn’t learn in the offseason as well — humility.

Sounds like he was owning that mistake to me.

Ideally he shouldn't have brought up anything that could be viewed as a criticism of the coaches or play calling. But on the other hand he's frustrated just like everyone else and sometimes you say shit you shouldn't. He's not the first guy to do it.

I think people need to take a step back and realize he's a 2nd year QB and a 23 year old guy. He's figuring things out as he goes, on and off the field. It always amazes me how as a society we love to build people up and in the next breath break them back down.

One day he's a hero next he's a problem that's how it sounds like around here

Agree 100%. This guy was on fire last year, and all is forgotten. He is going to be great folks, this second year he did what most due hit the sophomore slump. I don't expect the same after a healthy offseason.

Spot on Matt! The guy is still a kid for heaven's sake. None of us had it all figured out at 23. RGIII is no different. He's a young pup. He'll figure it all out soon enough and all of this negativity will go away.

100% this.. Also, realize that Loverro is a troll whose schtick is to be anti whatever is popular. He's the same as Rick Snider was at the Examiner, basically paid to be the foil to keep conversation going. His whole thing calling RG3 'SuperBob' is an intentional insult to be in a position of criticism when he's right and condescension when he's wrong.

How about the other balls that sailed over receivers hands? The bomb he overthrew Robinson on that would have tied up the game? How about the fumble where he held the ball too long? (yes, I know Helu half assed the block) It was more than just that one throw.

He's not the first because Cam Newton did the exact same thing last year, after he blew a chance to win a game by throwing a ball in the dirt with Olsen wide open in the end zone. Needless to say, Cam got raked across the coals and rightfully so.

Tell me, do you hear any flap from Luck? Tannehill? Wilson? Any of them? This young excuse is just that. An excuse. Time for Robert to put on the big boy pants and suck it up. He wants the fame, the glory, the commercials, but also wants to deflect the blame. Fuck that. Take the heat. Yes, I do agree with him about the play calling and yes I'm ready for Kyle and several other coaches to move on. However, you aren't going to endear yourself to the fans, public, or any future coaches by saying the stuff he's said over the coarse of the past year. You'd thought he'd learn from the whole kneegate issue, and the crap over the training camp. It's not hard to just shut the fuck up. Really, it's not.

What's he supposed to do, go through a laundry list of his mistakes and apologize for each one?

At this point anything he says is going to get picked apart.

He wasn't right in his comments but I don't think it's the end of the world either.

They were saying the same things about Cam last season. Shannahan needs to face up to teh fact that he has to improve. ST suck, defense sucks, everything sucks.

Not going to argue with you there.....ive been looking for the rollout all year. Perfect happy medium to the RO vs Pocket Passer.
Edit: i said this weeks ago - its almost like it is all or nothing. R/O run and get trucked half the time, or stand in the pocket like he is Peyton Manning. The bootleg is tailor made for Griff. When they do run it seems like it is to the opposite side. I cant even really talk about it because it makes me crazy. Lol

Wait. We ran the rollout twice after watching the game again. 1st one was a first down to Reed. Second was a Touchdown

Why keep doing it? It works! Lol

[Bucket]

Would also like to add thay on the sack fumble... Reed runs the wrong route and would of been wide open for a quick TD. Was a good play call but bad execution.

That is why I said. " we just played a bad game all around".

To many things going wrong for this team and not enough fingers.

The sack fumble could've been avoided if Helu makes a block on his defender giving Griffin more than 1 second. Perhaps I am spoiled reminiscing of Portis and his blocking....

Was not comparing Jason to griff in football terms, was comparing the smile after missing a wide open receiver on the way back to the sidelines.

We are mad about smiles?
