The story was fine, just a slightly misleading headline.

I agree. To me, it still shows he hasn't learned shit about last year and he's still trying to prove to the world how tough he is. I respect the competitiveness in him, and I'd be the same way if I were him. However, he doesn't need to be discussing jack shit with the media in regards to his displeasure with the plan or anything related. Just tell them you feel great, you are looking forward to being out there, but consult Coach Shanahan if you want specifics about any timeline.


Look at Peyton Manning's situation his last year in Indy. There were reports that he was begging the coaching staff to play him in goal line situations (that didn't require the arm strength), but yet you never heard him bitching to the media about not liking the plan they had him on.

Just shut up Robert, and play football. You blew your opportunity to have any say in when you come back. In fact, he's largely responsible for him having the ACL injury to begin with.

That said, the media is most certainly blowing this up to be something it is not.

Its going to be a story regardless. When he didnt say anything, the media was saying that he was lazy and didnt want to take part in TC. When he is saying something, its just a new spin on negativity. When he wasnt out talking the media shortly after his surgery, everyone complained of no news. Now that there is news, everyone is complaining that there is to much of it.

If he talks to the media, its because there is a rift between Shanny and RG3. If he doesnt talk to the media, its because there is a rift between Shanny and RG3. If he talks in a limited fashion to the media, its because there is a rift between Shanny and RG3. If he says to ask Shanny, its because there is a rift between Shanny and RG3. If he speaks for himself, its because there is a rift between Shanny and RG3.

Im glad that he wants to play and im glad that Shanny is holding him back. The rest of the stuff is just noise. Learn to block out the random noise and there are no problems.

The only issue here is that the media won't stop agitating and when asked he doesn't quite say the right words to end it. His articulation of his feelings is perhaps too revealing but his emotions are not out of line. All of this goes away week one. BTW they both earned all of the scrutiny fair and square when he marched onto the field against Seattle in the playoffs.

Well said.

NFLN has been trying hard to push this for weeks

[SmootSmack]

When did people call him lazy?

[Green Monk Machine]

Yeah Rob needs to mute himself. The decision to sit him in preseason has been made, that should include no dress rehearsal in warmups before games. He's only enabling the media and his own insubordination.
I believe his press statement saying, he'd have to be carried off the field to not be out there. Well, we've seen him helped off the field from his own selfishness to play, but I'm worried he's next going to need to be carried off kicking and screaming like a little girl having a tantrum in a dept. store.
I just feel he should stfu. Show some belief in Kirk to get a win in your absence and be a team player.

I agree with the basic point the media is always going to look for a headline. Let's face it RG3's knee is going to be a story all year long. It's not going away no matter how much or how little anyone says about it. Better get used to it.

[Terpfan76]

Personally, I'd be more concerned if Griffin was content to not play until week 1. I think its the right decision and I'm sure Griffin knows it to, but like he said, it doesn't mean he has to like it.

Exactly.
