F Dukes and Irvin for even questioning RG3's commitment given what he went through with the injury and quick recovery. Just pure insanity.

What did Griffin say?

Jamie Dukes basically questioned RG3's commitment. He seems to be using the spin that this is RG3's decision to not play when it seems to be obvious it's a decision that everyone is on board with.

Dukes is the Skip Bayless of NFL Network.

What an idiot

RG3 hates the preseason and is sending the wrong message to his team according to Dukes.

Did we not spend the entire offseason listening to these talking heads blast the team for playing RG3 when he was hurt, not caring about the player, etc.? Now the team is taking it's time with their star player and trying to take the safer route and it's F them for trying to be smart.

So what happens if he gets off to a bad start?

Just saw an interview with RGIII this morning and he want to be on the field but is following the advise of coaches and DR's. Duke would be the first to blame the coaches if RG gets hurt in training camp.

I wouldn't mind if RG3 played a quarter this preseason just to get his feet wet, but the game speed is totally different so if he doesn't play at all I won't mind.

As far as Dukes/Irvin go, I think they're achieving exactly what they want out of their statements, which is more people discussing their thoughts. Just like any other decision made by any other coach, some people are going to like it, and some people are going to hate it, at least publicly to earn a little more attention. Which leads me to a curious question I have:

SS, in your opinion, have you met any media members who have taken a different stance publicly for more attention, but actually side with a more reasonable take in private? I'm sure it could be possible, but it'd be hard to prove, because if they had an outlandish take on a story they'd stick with that viewpoint throughout so they wouldn't appear phony.

The skins should do the Denver-Manning route with RG3 this preseason

That just seems pointless to me, if they are going to do that, then just rest him and don't play him until the after the bye week. Just seems dumb to say its just the eagles week one so we are going to just rest RG3.

I agree, pointless.

Won't happen.

Uhh, no. Again I disagree. It's makes all the sense to ease Rob back in.
KC should have played from Cleveland-Dallas and let Rob be healed for the playoffs. Instead, KC played Cleveland and Rob over did it and we lost a home playoff game. Lesson to be learned...don't throw Rob out there and make him do it all himself. Otherwise, why else did we draft KC??? We needed a backup, let him serve his purpose. How else will we engage trade value after the year for him? I'll wait for you to catch on...... Look I'm ready to cheer for Rob too but the team name is Redskins, not Robertskins= sometimes it takes playing team ball and the best interests of the team is to affirm Rob's health and with an early bye week, the season is going to be long.

That was my point if they are going to do that then rest him until the bye week. I can catch on if they did that, but to sit him just in week one and then play him in week two is dumb. I could care less about KC trade value, if RG3 is healthy and cleared to play then you play him. What happens if Cousins sucks it up, then were will his trade value be at. I just dont get your logic of just rest him week 1.

Back at you. I say rest Rob for the 1st week and you say that doesnt make sense but you say youre making sense for him sit until the bye? Yeah?!?!?

The what ifs KC "sucks" is 'tarded. He has to show/prove. His trade value won't be based on propaganda and college film, it will be games beyond preseason.

Whatever man. Step back and open your mind b/c I don't see how you've made any sort of point.
