I don't really care what he said and I don't really care what B Mitch has to say about it (even if he's right). I just want to see Robert perform well.

I agree that his performance on the field is what counts but I also think that he's making it harder for himself by making public statements that can be taken out of context by the media to make unflattering headlines and create controversy. That's why I think it's important for him to watch what he says in public.

In the short term, what if he has a poor game against Detroit tonight? If he does, the media will eat him alive, even though they created the controversy to begin with!

The media eating him alive has nothing to do with his comments. They are going to figure out a way to do that regardless. He was a #2 overall pick that we gave up a ton to get. People to this day still talk about Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell, and outside of a couple of blowups by Leaf, they werent known for talking to the media.

The whole media thing is just being blown up by the media. Why? Because people like you eat it up and they get paid. If RG3 never talked to the media, there would be another reason they would come up with to do this, and you would eat that up as well. If he was a media darling and said everything right, they would come up with something else to make it the story they want. He was a #2 overall and being talked about as a bust, that is all thats necessary for this to happen, saying the right or wrong things to the media is not required.

Who says I'm eating up what the media is dishing out? I don't care if anything more is ever written or said about RGIII. I just want to see the Redskins play 20 or more times a year (counting preseason). I don't watch pre-game or post-game drivel on TV. I do read some articles about the Skins and I participate on this board.

Nevertheless, I don't live in a vacuum, so I know something of what's going on in Redskins Nation. In real life, I also know enough to keep my head down, my ears open, and my mouth shut while I'm learning a trade. That maxim would seem to me to apply even to NFL QB's.
