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.

Why?

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.
