Serious, I'm tired of the drama let RG3 go. It's not doing him or the team any good. Let's see what you got next. I'm ready to start judging Gruden for Gruden. They had a bye and laid an egg. COACHING red flag!

Damn Gary84Clark asking for RG-3 to be shown the door? What is this world coming to?

Re: Jay Gruden you are our only hope

I think that like others have posted out - benching RG3 for the rest of the year and then jettisoning him would be a move that would show that we are moving past the BS and are serious about putting only winners on the field. Someone posted a stat line of RG3's record, it is something like 9-30, which is horrible.

Then again - i'm not sure if Gruden has the power/autonomy to make decisions like that. He seems like a good guy but he knows how it works in DC. It wouldn't surprise me if he's already been told that RG3 plays no matter what...

Re: Jay Gruden you are our only hope

What do expect from a qb that has had 2 offensive coordinators, 2 major injuries and a terrible O-Line?

The OC and OL excuses are tired

Rivers is on his 3rd OC in 3 years. It's not that uncommon.

And, I don't recall the OL looking so awful when Colt (even Kirk) were playing QB.

Yeah but this was the Bucs. Lee Roy Selmon and Warren Sapp were in full on beast mode. Griff never had a chance man.

You quoted the guy that agreed with you but since the response was intended for me.

As for Philip Rivers. Did they bring in 3 different systems? Slight changes in what you do is one thing, an entirely new system is quite different. Since I dont follow them, I have no clue as to that answer. Even so, I would expect a vet QB to handle changes better than a young one.

The OL was bad in the Houston game and RG3 threw short passes. He was criticized for short passes. Colt does the same thing, short passes. But he is also not trying to learn the WCO on the fly and is better at his timing in this offense, I have never said otherwise. Kirk just took a three step drop and threw it, who cares who it was to. Not exactly a great standard to judge an OL. Although if you remember the Giants game, remember those hits Cousins took. Remember it was shortly after those hits that the just drop and throw regardless of who it went to started happening. I would say the OL had a pretty big impact on KC. He went from running the offense efficiently to hurrying everything as fast as possible regardless of the outcome.

Rivers went through a long time period where he was developed. Rivers was considered a bust at one point, but the Chargers stuck with him. Rivers in his 3rd year was not a franchise QB. Is it fair to compare a 3rd year QB to a 10 year vet?

Of course they are tired. We havent had a decent OL since the hogs and have dealt with the coaching carousel for almost as long. They are very tired, they are 20 years old.

However, none of that makes them invalid. Not having a good OL is detrimental to the team, which is pretty widely understood and accepted. Constantly changing systems, which by nature means constantly changing players to fit your scheme, is also detrimental to the team, which is pretty widely understood and accepted.

If people only started complaining about the OL and coaching carousel since RG3 arrived, then they havent been paying attention the last 2 decades.
