Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015

Has anyone considered it could have been RG3's camp that asked for another review of his medicals?

I don't think the Redskins conspired with the doctors here. I think this is all just a case of "could only happen to the Redskins" This could be for the best ultimately though

Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015

At this point I'm ready for the divorce to be final. We haven't seen anything out of RG3 since 2012 that indicates he is progressing towards being a good qb. I feel confident at this point Gruden and RG3 are ready to split, and management might be the only reason that hasn't happened yet. It would make this a whole lot easier if Cousins actually gave us reason to believe he's more than a backup.

Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015

I'm wondering what is causing all of these seemingly contradictory statements by Coach Gruden and "The Team" about RGIII's status. Is someone trying to make Gruden look like he doesn't know what's going on? If Gruden makes the initial statement on any matter, shouldn't he make any follow-up statements on that matter?

Yeah just trade him already. Send him to Houston or buffalo or wherever for a draft pick or maybe a player but time to move on. Leave it to KC or colt and let's just hope we can run the ball and play Great defense. We have the weapons on offense to have a solid pass game

Wow!

Sounds like RG3 might really be done here in Washington.

Who knows...maybe RG3's comment "I don't know, I just work here man" comment actually pissed off Dan Synder.

That seems doubtful considering he posted this:

Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015

I don't know, maybe it's me, but I felt the "I just work here, man," comment was about RG3 trying to avoid media criticism. This is why I think that:

The question was something to the effect of, "Was there any concern about you going back in, was there any discussion with the coaches about whether or not it was a good idea to have you go back in with the number of times you were getting hit?"

Ok so, he might have said:

1. "Yeah, I told him I wanted to keep playing no matter what because that is what a true competitor does."

And if he did, the media would say stuff like . . . why is RG3 in the discussion, this is a coaches decision, I wonder if RG2 was involved too, Gruden is a bad coach for listening to the player the decision is his to make, RG3 still has no perspective about protecting himself its all good to be a competitor but to risk the season because of pride he's not looking out for the good of the team more RGme.

2. "Yeah, we all decided to keep me in there because we wanted to try to make progress with the first team Offense."

Again they would say, why is he involved in the decision making process blah blah blah, he's just saying exactly what Gruden said and obviously he thinks something different or it wouldn't sound so contrived

3. "Yeah, but in retrospect maybe I should have come out sooner."

Now he's throwing the coach under the bus, there is a disconnect between QB and HC, he's just trying to protect himself why else would he not want to stay in the game maybe he's being traded and he knows it and he's just trying to survive . . . blah blah blah


So, yeah, I guess he could have said, "NO, that is a coaching decision, but I have a lot of faith in Gruden and his judgement. It is never an easy decision to make, but I stand by what he decided."

Where does RG3 come off thinking he's a good judge of coaching prowess? Not only does he think he's the best QB in the league, but a coaching talent scout too? Why is he commenting on the decision anyways, it is not his place. He knows it was a bad decision otherwise why would he feel a need to defend it, he's just biding his time.

This is easier and more fun then I thought

Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015

No matter if it was just an honest re-assessment or a conspiracy theory, the "this could only happen to the Redskins" applies and is a certifiable fact. The clown show continues. This year is off to a terrible start. Ughhh! I don't want to go 4-12 again!

End of the RG3 era. Fuck. I'm never buying another jersey again. I'm 0 for 3.
