Absolutely the worst part because this is not a developmental problem. This is an innate inability problem. Does anyone in their rite mind believe he is being told to hold the ball for 3-5 seconds than check down without progressing thru his reads?!? That's ridiculous.

What?

Your inner clock is a development as a quarterback. It can change through out the game and you learn through PLAYING how to adjust to it.

Nobody remembers the days of throwing bags at the QB or tennis balls to have them move in the pocket?

RG3 needs to play. He's the best QB we have and the only way for him to get better and get some swagger back is for him to be on the field and fight through the tough years just like every other QB has had to do.

Just 3 weeks ago NFL network was talking about Brady being done....

I'm just saying.. People need to stop with all this higher expectation bullshit right now. Prediction thread last week had like 2 people assuming we would lose and everyone thinking we were winning or blowing out the Bucs.

Guess what? We are the Bucs right now.. Our team is not very good and that includes the QB. Can they get better? Yeah.. Absolutely with the right leadership and I believe that man is here now.

You can throw tennis balls at him all you want, and he will have the words wilson imprinted all over his body.
Edit: Griff holds the ball too long ALOT. It does not seem his internal clock is adjusting. When he does get rid of it - it is usually locked in and checked down. He misses way too many wide open guys. Some guys never learn this, maybe he will and maybe he wont. Rite now the magic 8-ball says "doubtful".

What I see with RGIII often is not that his clock is too slow, it's that he has no clock at all.

It is funny though, as the game progresses he changes. At the start of games he holds on to it, patting the ball all day, staring down one receiver until he gets sacked. Later in games he starts hopping about as soon as is it is snapped and automatically goes for the checkdown before anything can open up down the field.

That's what 6 sacks will do to you.

Listen to what Gruden says about how well Griffin played and Griffins leadership this week. He needs to keep up this brutal honesty. love it.
