Qb again? Wow

I listened to a few mins of sports talk radio coming in to work and yes, one caller out of the 2 beat that drum - "RG3 is never going to be a pocket passer, his fundamentals are a lot farther behind than people think and cousins is a lot further along as a pocket passer".

the radio host, to his credit, rhetorically asked if RG3 needs to be a pure pocket passer and that we drafted him in part bc of his speed and athleticism and the things he can do outside of just being a pocket passer.

I do believe RG3 has trouble reading Ds pre-snap and going through his progressions but ..... HE IS NOT A PURE POCKET PASSER! he is a once in a lifetime athlete that throws a pretty ball. he is young and has room and time to grow.

like sports radio was saying yesterday .. why cant he be a steve young? why cant he use his arm and, if it is not there, strategically use his feet?

rg3 is the best hope we have had in almost 2 decades.

we will ride or die with rg3. there are things i dont like about RG3 but i am all in with him.
