i was literally the only person on here saying rg3 should sit the first 4 weeks and then start after the bye.

i was ridiculed and made fun of.

im sure matty and some others could at least attest to that.

Your position has been consistent, but so has mine and I didn't think there was any reason to not play Griffin then or now. It's perfectly okay to play someone at less than 100%. It is in fact, impossible to field a team if you aren't willing to do that.

I think what people are saying is that not playing Griffin before was defensible (I don't know if I agree), but not playing him now is just petty.

I hear ya but what I'm saying is its 13 weeks in and its way past time for using the knee as a reason for sitting him. When they are out of it next year should he sit because he's had multiple knee injuries?

The bottom line to me is this is big boy football and these guys get paid a lot of money to play and if they can play then they should.

Pretty sure there were others.

I wouldn't have had a problem with that if they came out and announced that plan from day 1.

But right now, that's kinda old news.
