RG3 is back

"Personally, I've heard from more than enough people to believe strongly that either Snyder (and his associates) or Allen (or both?) is putting a lot of pressure on Gruden to play Griffin ASAP (just like when they told him he had to start him at the beginning of the year"

You think Jay wanted to possibly start someone else at the beginning of the year?

You make a great point if Rg3 doesnt play well and its a bad loss at Minny.That would put alot of people at conflict within the organization im sure.

I dont see rushing RG3 if he is not ready. Makes no sense

Didn't I mention this before the Seahawks game? Maybe I only told the other mods. Yes, know this from very very very reliable sources who have known Jay Gruden for a looooooonggggggg time. He thought RG3 was not ready for week 1 and wanted to start Cousins against Houston

yeah i dont remember this, but that kinda sux as a rookie HC to already being over ruled by Snyder. I worry about this dynamic, you got to let the HC make the decision on who to play....no matter who it is.

Thanks for the info

ive known my older brother almost my entire life .....

smoot, thank you for your insight. in this particular case I wish the message was on a more positive note . . . but if what you have been told is true ... unless RG3 plays well, we are screwed as a franchise and gruden experiment is already doomed.

hope RG3 plays well and makes this a non-issue.

if he plays well, no one will question the decision to start him .. thus no one will question (or care) who actually made the decision. the focus will be on an improving and healthy griffin ready to make a second half playoff push. all good things.

if he plays poorly = 2 weeks of negativity and conspiracy theories. personally i dont want to see the skeletons in our closet. ive seen them enough. tired of the drama. all not so good things.



perhaps im being a lil dramatic in connecting the dots. perhaps as a skins fan, im conditioned to think as such.

SS, thank you for sharing your insight. I've learned a lot about the RGIII situation as well as the dynamics of the organization.
