Smoot, did you take out a comment?


Edit: Nevermind I found it, it was in different thread.

But I guess it fits here better.

On what basis are you questioning RG3's intelligence, because he's athletic? that seems like a weak premise.

Well that's silly, certainly I cannot prove a statement that is not based in facts wrong or right. If you are saying it is a fact that athlete's can't be smart I'm sure there are plenty of examples to the contrary. If you are saying prove RG3 is intelligent, well that's a bit subjective isn't it? What proof do you have that I can try to respond to?

Now, I don't know that RG3 can learn to change his style of play, but I don't think that has anything to do with his intelligence. In any field I'm sure their are people that are excellent at one thing, but can never learn other aspects of the job, or different approaches. People get used to what works for them, and sometimes it's really hard to break those tendencies. In RG3's case, it's hard to adjust your game when you can't stay healthy enough to even be on the field, and personally i think that is more to the crux of this matter.

Hi. You're making it awfully hard for me to troll. I guess I just don't have it in me. I'm just too decent a human being. Oh well

No no . . . You did fine. It's just you have a good reputation. That is why I even said anything. It didn't seem like you. Sorry for messing that up though. Maybe troll a giants board?

It has nothing to do with intelligence. Obviously RG3 is a very smart guy. It's more instincts IMO. What came natural for Griffin is what we ran in 2012. I don't think I've seen Griffin get under center and take a 5-7 step drop (w/out any play action) since he's been here.
