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

I think the reaction to RG3s comments are so ridiculous. He said nothing inappropriate. In my work, even as a young unproven professional who has made some mistakes, if I do not project a confidence that I am striving to be the best and know that I can be, and that I am the right person in my organization for my position there would be repercussions:

1. People would be gunning for my job, or under mining me to make themselves look better.

2. My bosses would question my ability if I wasn't confident.

3. Most importantly, with all the crap I receive on a daily basis, I could not handle the pressure and my lack of confidence would hurt my performance.

Dude was saying something pretty mundane, and admitting he needed to prove himself. If he does, awesome. If he doesn't, oh well, good riddance, but not projecting confidence would not make that easier.

I think saying you know you are the best QB on the team is borderline inappropriate. Saying you feel you are the best is one thing, saying you know you are the best is another. Like I said earlier, he's only going to alienate his teammates even further. They all know he's starting the QB position without earning it. He's gifted that starting position due to what they paid for him. Everybody else on the team had to earn their spot. How do you think that's going to sit with players when you say shit like that KNOWING the only reason you are starting is due to the owner?

I think the comment + his track record + his history of mouthing off = blown out of portion. Take any of those variables out of the equation and it is a non-story.

Robert should look to his backfield on how to handle the media, where ALFMO said I agree I am not elite but I am working hard to become elite.

Exactly this isnt just about him saying he knows he is the best. This is about everything that has happened since 2012. The only thing blown out of proportion is his ego.
