Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he only speak once a week, on Wednesdays and postgame from the podium....LIKE EVERY OTHER STARTING NFL QUARTERBACK?!?! That's the required minimum for a starting QB in the NFL. He didn't do any one on one interviews once camp started (that I'm aware of), didn't do any TV or radio shows, etc. How exactly did he 'run his mouth the entire year'?

I think that RG3 is really suffering from Tebow-like backlash. He was so good, so popular, so well liked, so fast that many people, sadly Redskins fans included, revel in his struggle this year. Because society is conditioned to be cynical nowadays, we are far too willing to believe anything negative connected to them. Coupled with on the field struggles it makes it so much easier to confirm whatever negative narrative you've chosen to believe.

A friend of mine asked me earlier in relation to RG3 if I believe 'where there's smoke, there's fire' to which I responded, 'while there may be a fire, the question to ask is if all of the smoke is being produced by the fire or is someone hold the fan to blow whatever smoke there is in a way that it overwhelms you?'

Oh, his tweeting, his ESPN special, his GQ spread, his relentless self-hype and coming back for week 1, his father's backtalk...and all of it translated to absolutely nothing on the field this year. He'll be a victim of the Snyder Curse soon enough and you will all turn on him because that's what you guys do...box up all the blame and lay it at the feed of those about to exit.

p.s. when it comes to character RW1 > RG3, Luck > RG3, Kap > RG3
