RG3 is back

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.

A) RGIII is injured badly again: how many serious injuries can one guy take? This depends on the nature of the injury, of course.

B) RGIII stinks: he loses confidence. His game therefore goes downhill. Team starts to doubt him, too. Synergystic spiral down in which RGIII never reaches his full potential due to lack of confidence.

I'm not saying these things will happen - heaven forbid - but I am filling in your "???"

Why are some of you making such a big deal over a disagreement between the HC and higher management over who should play? That is normal stuff in the NFL. The coach wants to win now and the GM wants to see the young players he brought in play so they can develop. The owner wants to see the player who is supposed to become the Franchise QB play. Standard stuff.

Standard for the Redskins and their organization for sure

Yeah maybe it is, but you don't see disagreement in Indy or Seattle do you? Ultimately, that is on RG3, because if he were playing like Luck or Wilson there would be no discussion. Still, I think all of us would feel better if there was consensus in the front office/coaching staff about the starting QB. I agree though, that this probably shouldn't be read as a "Snyder is meddling" instance.

He can shut everyone up.. the media, the fans, Gruden's doubts, it will all go away if he can put together a nice run here the last 8 games. Let's hope he does that. My thinking is he's going to struggle.

[Evilgrin]

He needs to play, to see if he can stay healthy. If he can't stay healthy, its the same as being a bust.

[rocnrik]

RGIII will never be AVERAGE!.. He is a world class athlete who has to stay healthy to become great..if he does he will be everything the Skins thought .. Colt is a good backup who can come in when needed..nothing more nothing less..Cousins is gone ..he can't beat out Colt..no way we beat dallas with cousins..from what I saw monday night if the Skins bring that game to minnesota they will blow out the vikings..RGIII should start and play smart ..if he struggles you can go to Colt.

Watching a short clip of practice with Robert today. NOBODY runs the R/O like him.
Can't wait til' Sunday

[calia]

Agreed. Go RGIII. I hope he lays waste to the Vikes. End of controversy.

Whats everyone's expectations of RG3 for the Vikings game?

Got a feeling its gonna be a vanilla passing game built around easy throws to get confidence and some sort of rhythm. I imagine it will be alot of mass protect, and dink and dunking throws. WR screens, short passing game.

Not gonna be an easy game at all.

I sure hope it's not dink n dunk,I was so tired of that in the Houston game
Cousins and Colt have both been able to complete long passes to Jackson and have them right on the money,I want to see that out of Griffin,I NEED to see that out of Griffin

I want to see Griffin and the offense moving the ball, converting 3rd downs, and putting points on the board. I don't know why people are so obsessed with the deep ball.

I also want to see Morris running the ball more. Hopefully he can get his magic back with RG3 at QB.

Yes I would like to see that also, but they probably go hand-in-hand

[punch it in]

If Colt Mccoy can shake off the rust after three years against Dallas than I expect Griff to be able to do the same against Minnesota.
The main thing I want to see is Griff playing smart. Throw the ball away if you have to, go through your progressions. Also I want to see some accuracy and good mechanics.
Minnesota has a better pass d than run, so I expect to see a heavy dose of Almo.

[WillH]

I want to see every play be a deep pass, even runs, they've got to show they can do that.
