I can hardly wait to see RGIII play again.

I read that report this morning and realized that we will have a fully functioning team this season. So that's nice.

Another year removed from that surgery he should definitely be very close to his rookie form.

I know it was questionable, and most likely for all the wrong reasons, but Shanahan benching Griffin ensured 2 things about Griffin:
1) he would not suffer a setback from a weird play last year
2) he would come in with a chip shoulder to prove something.

Both of those will serve this team very well this season.

Also has anyone else noticed how much Griffin has been written off or severely questioned this offseason? I hope that fuels him further.

Had he played in those last three games, and got hurt, everyone would have went ape-shit..."why is he playing in a meaningless game!!!???"
lol. I think Shanahan served the kid well cause he kept getting the crap knocked out of him.

I've noticed that too and find the chatter stupid.

Gryphon is gonna tear the NFL a new one next year.

Great to see Griffin at 100% and healthy. But none of this matters until the real bullets start flying and he has to throw a dart on 3rd and 9.

lol....I'm rooting for Griffin and hope he has a comeback year. But I just don't get all excited cause we hear he's running around fast. He's not a RB and we need him to run less. What I like to hear is that he went out to see Terry Shea. Now that means something cause that tells me Griffin knows his fundamentals got sloppy last year and he's trying to improve in that area. Now that gets me excited!

The fact is knee is 100% should also make you happy. That's what led to his sloppy mechanics to start with.

Yeah I'm sure that was part of it. Not having any pre season work probably didn't help either.

It's the whole package for me.

I think we are going to win the division this year personally. III with a big fu to the league.

I don't think we win the division this year. Just too many variables...how good a coach is Gruden, how will Griffin III perform, will our supposed-to-be-aggressive pass rush make up for a poor secondary, will Kotwica improve the STs or be like Burns and take the STs even lower than the previous coordinator, how will the OL look, etc. That being said, here's my pre-draft, pre-training camp, pre-preseason division predictions.

1. Philadelphia. They won last year, and even though they haven't improved significantly so far, it's a weak division, so they have to be the favorites.

2. Washington. We've improved the most through FA, but there's two huge question marks: Gruden and Griffin. If they both flop, we'll once again finish last. If they perform well, we should be in it 'til the end.

3. New York. Manning will almost certainly be better( heck, 27 INTs? How do you even throw that many? ), Cruz and JPP should be back to beastin', and obviously Coughlin's a good HC. While I don't see them as better than Philly right now, they're close to us. Maybe could switch 2 and 3 around.

4. Dallas. They've still got Romo, Witten, Bryant, and Murray on offense, but lost their two best pass rushers and have a terrible coach. Once again, good O, no D.

a slim majority of fans thought it was a petty shanahan pulling a middle finger as his adios salute ... a slim majority of fans also had written off RG3 as a bust and middling after last year as well .... history gets re-written at every turn
