Q: Um so where do you like keep the Heisman and stuff? Not in a sock..(trollol)

A: Yeah, Jay (douche) I keep it in my back pocket

I've never used the term but would "pwned" apply in the above exchange?

^ thats up there with the jermey lin (can I say it?) term that ESPN ran referring to armor being damaged hahaha both funny headlines.

After watching the Leno interview I truly believe RGIII personifies everything you could want in a pro athlete from the off-field POV.

Things are set for greatness if the team can play up to his level on the field.

I'm really trying hard to to lose my mind with positivity that RGIII creates for the upcoming season.

Leno: "When are you going to get married?"

RGIII "Sometime next year, gotta on the playbook......"

Robert Griffin III's arm has already earned legendary status at Redskins camp - Yahoo! Sports

Nice article on our guy. It could go into a lot of threads but thought this one deserved a bump

^^
Two things from the article really catch my eye. The first is comparison to Vick's throwing motion and velocity (aside from lefty vs righty). Vick's arm motion and velocity always amazed me as he's smaller than most pro QB's but is a far stronger passer. Hopefully Griffin's accuracy is superior to Vick's right from the get-go, as accuracy is the most important quality in a pro QB (see Chad Pennington). But like the article mentions that strength and velocity is a huge bonus in our system w/ the roll-outs etc.
The second highlight for me is Griffin's injury, and more importantly how he responded to it i.e. becoming more of a pocket passer. The injury may have been the best thing to happen to Griffin. To be sure his mobility will be a major threat, but his decision to focus on the fundamentals of pure passing will be the difference maker for our guy.

Cheers to all

so they struck out in the QB market and then decided to say that was the plan all along?

I believe them... no really.

Thankfully, the point im about to make is moot because of RGIII.
But, we you could say something similar about us last year.

Makes sense, they liked Weeden's age. A rookie entering his 30s can't fail, right? He has LIFE experience!

"[a]nd too eager to show how fast he could run."
