Re: RG3 and Gruden?

He does make some valid points but I know, he's not allowed to talk for some reason.

He can talk after he takes us to the playoffs two years in a row.
Until then hes highly suspect as a bust.
We want wins, not coulda woulda shoulda stuff.

First off wilson shouldnt be mentioned with brady either. Lol. If brady played on seattle they would win every game they play!
Im glad that you pointed out the question it takes alot of the stupid out of the answer.
As for his not being allowed to talk - no not at all. But to bring up injuries etc? The dude was faaaar from impressive against houston while he was healthy. Also bad ankle or not he flat out stunk - had the mechanics of a tin man running low on oil. He missed wide open targets all damn year and could not read the field to save his life. He wasnt just missing throws he was flat out missing reads.
Hey hopefully he gets it next year, but if i had to put money on him being succesful lets just say it wouldnt be much. Lol.

Re: RG3 and Gruden?

We live in a new generation, they talk alot now theres so many outlets for them to do that. I have no problem with them talking, I have more of a problem with the media twisting there words to suit there purpose.

Re: RG3 and Gruden?

Right now, I have very little faith in Griffin. He just doesn't seem to have the instincts to play the position at a high level. Then factor in the injuries. But even before he got hurt last year, the coaches had very little belief that he could run the offense. Hope he proves me wrong, but time is running out.

Re: RG3 and Gruden?

I think the biggest mistake that this team made was to put a mediocre team around an unproven/developing/so-so set of QBs.

Unless we happen to get our hands on the likes of Rodgers, Manning, and Brees. We're not going to win games until all of our units can play at a respectable level. Just about all of our units, except maybe the running game, have been trash over the past two seasons.

I think there are a lot of QB's that would like to have Garcon, Jackson and a healthy Reed. They've put weapons around him. Yeah the line isn't the 91 group, but he doesn't do himself any favors by not getting rid of the ball when he's suppose to. He's sacked at a alarmingly high rate. Can't just keep saying "the line sucks!" He makes them worse than they really are.

I'm at the point where if he plays poorly this off-season/pre-season then they should just trade him. It's not worth the headache/drama.

Re: RG3 and Gruden?

He is a supreme athlete without supreme mechanics that is injury prone. The song goes two outta three aint bad.......
I dont think he is the answer.

Re: RG3 and Gruden?

If Cavanaugh can get RG3 footwork right things can turn around quickly. Since his knee injury I believe he has been trying to use pure arm strength.

Re: RG3 and Gruden?

Yeah but the missed reads are the real worry. Again he isnt just missing throws hes missing wide open wr's? Thats scary.

Re: RG3 and Gruden?

I read the article. It certainly can be interpreted in a couple of different ways.

Bottom line, he simply has to figure out a 3 step drop. Foot hits, ball out. If you can't do that consistently, and do it well, you can't play QB in this league. He has yet to show the ability to do that, injury or no injury. The deeper drops, the pocket presence, maybe he can learn and assimilate that over time, but if you can't do the "move the chains" throws consistently well, he'll never get the time to do that.

I still am hoping he gets his had out of his a** and comes through for us. I just don't know if he can.

Re: RG3 and Gruden?

RG3 not only has to overcome his glaring lack of the basic fundamentals of playing Qb in the nfl, but he has the more difficult job overcoming his huge ego. That is what has held him back more than anything else. It starts by him admitting it was more than injuries.

Re: RG3 and Gruden?

“For me, what I’ve learned is, at times like these you have to focus in on yourself a whole lot harder and that’s what I’ve tried to do,” Griffin said. “I’ve tried to figure what I can do to be more consistent, go out there and play the game that you love, the way that you know how to play it."


Clearly no accountability.

No more talk, no more excuses. Put it all on the field. Simple enough.
