Superstars tend to do that. No shame in that.

Hell no. No shame at all. I love it. I dont care how or why the Redskins win as long as they win. At this point to re-hash fisher vs Shanny or any nonsense about "haters",etc is just pointless. What I am seeing on a weekly basis from this kid is just unreal. He is "almost" single handedly willing us to victory. Do I give kudos to the FO / coaches for drafting him? I guess, but wasnt it kind of a no brainer? Without him on this team we are three years into Shannys tenure and a real sh#t bomb of a team. Again - RG-3 is keeping alot of jobs safe, and they should all realize that and buy him something really nice for x-mas.

Easy to say now it was a no brainer. It was a move all your chips to the middle of the table type of move. Ballsy, big potential payoff, but still a risk nonetheless.

Yes, Ill give them props for going all in. I think they knew inside that the fan base was starved for a QB and nobody was going to bat an eye if they made the move. It was twenty years in the making.

Everytime I see a comment like this, the only thing I can think of is how bad a coach Bill Belichick is, or how bad of a coach that Walsh was, or any coach that has won with a superstar QB. To me, this line says that Joe Gibbs is a great coach, Brian Billick is a good coach, and no one else to ever coach in the NFL was ever any good. They either won with a superstar QB or they didnt win.

Is it really a surprise to see the offense better than last year when our QB went from RGInt to RG3?

Well Belichick won 11 games a few years ago with Cassell. Also Parcells with Phil Simms or Tampa Bay with Brad Johnson. There are alot of examples actually - and if you want to look at Walsh's niners - well my God that team was LOADED with talent - talent that he drafted. I think it is safe to say we have no Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, etc, etc, etc, etc - Its not so black and white as you are making it out to be. Bradshaw wasnt exactly the greatest qb of all time, but look at the team that Knoll put around him? -
