Pretty amazing that he's planting and throwing.

Yup. I am sure that he had to have a gazillion people sign off on that one.

I am aslo sure that the Shanny hate will undoubtedly flow. Most probably think the guy should just go into cold storage until sometime after Sept. 1st.

Also, I'm sure he's lightly going through the motions. Highly doubt he's going full speed. Just wanted to get this in before the inevitable freak-outs.

Griffin read off a script of plays designed by the training staff so he doesn't do too much, too fast. He threw with good zip and accuracy to a group that included tight end Fred Davis, who suffered a torn Achilles tendon last October.

Robert Griffin III looks good at Redskins workout

Sounds like its half speed stuff. It was also reported a while back that he was throwing and had been doing some roll out throws in rehab. Sounds like he is continuing with that.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread

I am sure he's a good leader and says all the right things but all this Tour de Hype he's constantly on and the fact that he doesn't know when to take himself out of games doesn't give me much confidence in his character.

At the end of the day this is one mans opinion and if you think about it you too will find there are certain things you don't like about his character. I certainly didn't appreciated him tweeting SMH or various other stuff he says or does.

Bottom line, if he continues to perform all will be fine, if he does not it will be the football version of Donald Trump and let me tell you, no one really likes Donald Trump. M'kay.

p.s. RG3 is doing a news conformance on ESPN right now talking about "Just so you guys know I will be talking every week so you will get to talk to me more than just today"

The tour de hype is completely media driven and wanting to win a football game is a character flaw?

Comparison to Donald Trump?

Wow. Post of the offseason. Its officially the Twilight Zone

No one said he has to participate in it. He does it out of his own volition and is clearly a willing participant.


I haven't posted much this off-season but I will take the Post of the Off-season Award. Does it come with a prize?

As reported on Twitter......RG2 has reportedly refused to "Go Full Speed" until Kyle changes the offense......

BU-RG3.com

Just happened to stumble across this. Apparently Baylor has a website specifically for RG3. Has a video about 10 minutes long on his Baylor days playing football. Touches a bit on every year plus his rehab when he messed up his knee the first time. He was somewhat unknown until his senior year with being at Baylor, not exactly a known football school prior to his arrival. So seeing what he did in some of the earlier years was pretty cool to watch. Also some of the things that were said about him by some of his competitors are pretty funny.

P.S. Never paid attention before, but does Tyrann Mathieu look like he had smoked something before the Heisman presentation. Look at the other 4 then look at Mathieu's goofy smile and squinted eyes.

I was a bit shocked that this specific article actually made it to front page of the Drudge Report. For whatever reason, Drudge seems to have an obsession with RG3, Tebow, and Brady.

He's definitely done a lot of upper body work.
