It's rare to be liked by everybody on the team. Usually the guys who are most universally liked are the most irrelevant players on the roster. So to that end, I know that a few players and others in the org don't like Griffin. Why? I don't know

I wouldn't say that's the same as alienating. I mean I haven't heard of him doing something purposefully aimed at causing dissension.

There are definitely people who feel that or want others to think that though. Britt got that report from somewhere, she didn't make it up

My problem with the report was that it was clearly something pretty inflammatory and she should have known that. As such, a little more investigation should have been done which, I am pretty sure would have demonstrated that it's premise (interruption of Griffin's interview in locker room) was based on something other than any alleged "alienation."

Given the reaction from the locals, and inflammatory nature of the news, just seemed like pretty slipshod reporting.

Sort of like Rudy Ruettiger on that great Notre Dame team. Lol
Pretty much what I figured. I am so curious as to why there are some that dont like him.

Not everyone gets along, not everyone likes Cousins or McCoy either. In the end it's about playing football. All this gossipy BS is nauseating.

Yeah but not liking your 2nd n 3rd string qb's is like not liking your punter. Who cares?
I would like to believe that everyone on the offensive side of the ball likes him enough to rally around him and play hard for him. They have to be able to get along to a point or that becomes a football problem. Like I said before the only feeling I get from Griff is a young kid that wants to succeed - has a strong work ethic. Been through alot in a short time. Just cant imagine what there isnt to like about him as a person in a football perspective? Hope it all goes away.

Strong point made just now on 980 by Chris Russell and company. One thing not to be liked. That's not the issue. The issue is does the locker room universally respect RG3.

Not so sure

Not so sure

Respect meaning simply his ability to lead this team and be a great qb?
