I think with the injury history, experience in kinda non-pro style offense (baylor and shanny read option) and plus the struggles in the preseason I give the HC the benefit in coming up and clearly stating a plan to the FO saying "hey more time." But I could imagine the sh*t storm that woulda caused.

I do think RG3 needs to play to develop abosolutely yes, but does he need to be rushed this week? I dont think so.

I really think Snyder should be staying out of allllllll personel decisions...we know the history there and its not good.

Lotta hyperbole in this thread about the supposedly dire consequences if such and such happens. I don't see it. We've been mostly bad for decades. So what would change if we were to lose at Minnesota? Not much.

In my years of observing the NFL, I have seen numerous developing QB's start every game but also have a veteran backup relieve them in some games, as necessary. If the young QB was relieved in any particular game, he still started the next week. Why can't Gruden do that with Robert and Colt? It could be a compromise among the executives.

[punch it in]

If Griffin shows that he's not ready on Sunday, it will be disastrous for the organization. Could be a franchise altering loss

Exactly but if he isnt ready in two weeks there is no second guessing atleast. We can beat the damn vikings with Colt. Just wait till after the bye it seems so effin logical.

Robert can't hold on to the ball. The line can't block forever. He also can't try to always force the ball to the first option. I think that is something Colt did well.

Jeebejeezus ...

RGIII has barely uttered a word, has been supportive of his teammates and backup QB's, and hasn't been making a big show of "play me coach" in the media at all (he has showed up and practiced ... ohhhhh!) - yet, the drama surrounding his return makes this a possible "franchise altering" game.

I don't doubt the truth of the statement BUT it's just sad that it is likely true.

When I read a Jeebeejeesuz from Joe OMG.
Season altering actions may ensue....

rookie coach working with young QB who never played in system similar to his has the QB injured in game 2. Yet, six games later, after sitting out with an injury that most thought was likely season ending, the QB is expected to appear and is not allowed to have a rough first outing. Yay

<deep, deep sigh>

Yeah, but its tough to ignore last year, and you know what they say about those who do not know history.

And if RGIII lights it up, what a wonderful world it would be.

I saw jerry garcia band sing that song a couple of times. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

[over the mountain]

i am speculating as to what the media will be trying to dig up if RG3 doesnt look ready.

have a good one folks

This game wont decide the fate of the franchise, but the remainder of this year certainly will.

You have no way of knowing that.

Well, I guess the way I'm looking at it is:

1. RG3 steps up his game - he and Gruden get their chance to make something happen together.

2. RG3 is Average - team flounders, but he and Gruden get another year or two to right the ship.

3. RG3 Stinks/Is injured again - ???


I mean, really, I made a stupid statement because, of course, every season decides the fate of a team to some degree or another. but the big question is RG3, and his play for the remainder of the season will ultimately be a huge factor in the team's plans going forward. Again, that's kind of a given, but I guess my point was, yeah people may be putting too much emphasis on the importance of this one game, but RG3 has to show something this year and i think that is the real sentiment.
