I don't disagree with that one bit. I'm not saying that commercials/branding was his downfall, but it's obvious he didn't put the required time in.


As far as the coaches go. There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that goes.... you can only lead a horse to water, you can't make him drink.

There's another old saying that you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. My point is that Jay Gruden seemed to have developed a negative attitude toward RGIII early on in their relationship. Now, it looks as if he wants to give up on Robert altogether.

I'm not a football coach, but I wouldn't do that just yet. I'd hire a QB coach and "invite" (i.e., require) Robert to spend a lot of time with that coach working on the field and studying to improve his skills and knowledge. Then, I'd see how that goes.

What is the truth about Robert? I can't handle the truth!
