Our hope among hopes is that RG III goes back to being straight awesome next year. If he can rebound with a third year al a Cam Newton all will be forgotten.

Amazing that some fans will eat it up too.

After all these years it's crazy that anyone takes her serious.

Yeah I don't understand why our fans would believe this crap too.

You also notice that nobody has substantiated them, right? If these were legitimate claims then she would have quotes, dates, specific interactions, etc. rather than the one sided, clearly agendized statements from a 'source'.

C'mon, you have to be smarter than to just buy this stuff lock, stock and barrel, right?

Yep. If Gryphon shows that he was just enduring a sophomore slump but is back in form, all this journalistic word vomit will stop.

I could find an unconfirmed source that says RG3 has a third buttcheek... I don't think it should show up in a column in the post though.

Jamie Dukes ‏@jamiedukes 53m
The mistruths are starting to get out of hand in DC. I've had my opinion on RG3 talking too much but I believe folks are telling lies...

Jamie Dukes ‏@jamiedukes 51m
I saw a report where some "UNNAMED". Source said that RG3 bragged about being able to manipulate the owner...

Jamie Dukes ‏@jamiedukes 50m
So let's walk thru this… If it were true and i don't believe it is… Who would tell anyone that.

Jamie Dukes ‏@jamiedukes 48m
This to me is another example of someone with an agenda making up a story because in today's media, you don't have to confirm sources.

Unless Shanny fed it to them. Then they run with it.

None of us really know what's true and what isn't. I tend to believe that RG3 got a big head after 12, felt a bit entitled, like a lot of people in their early 20's would have. We found out he's a little immature in some areas, and not as polished as advertised. 12 and 13 is over with. He's been humbled. Enough already. Let's get the new guy in here and move forward.

Hear hear. I think everyone can agree that RG3 has a huge ego, but I can't help but think this year and this circus has humbled him. People need to let it go.

The food stuff I dont really buy but there is no denying his rift with the WRs especially when RG always refered to Garcon as "the receiver". I was also surprised to almost never see him getting helped up by lineman so something might be going on there.

Is RG a diva, yes. Does he have a huge personality, yes. Does he get treated differently that the average player on the team, yes. I dont have a problem with any of this. The easiest way for him to make this all go away is to win. If he plays as bad in 2014 as he did in 2013 then this year's media blather about him will seem like a mouse fart compared to what we will see at this time next year.

I agree with you except for the fact that we dont know if he's been humbled.

Apparently not man

I am sick of all the RGIII has a huge ego stuff. Says who? Nothing I have seen from him seems terribly out of step with any other stuff we get from league QBs. Moreover, we WANT our starting Qb to have some ego, some attitude. You don't think Peyton, Brady, or other elite QBs don't have healthy self images? If they didn't, they wouldn't demand the ball, think that they could go forth an conquer, and dominate opponents. I want a QB that wakes up every day thinking about an opponent, "I own their shit."

Moreover, I haven't heard any player on the team actually say that RGIII was a problem or even suggest as much. (And don't tell me about the Moss quote -- he later said that he meant everyone needed to take individual responsibility, and was clear he wasn't singling out any individual players who weren't.) Could he have handled press conferences about his injury, return, playcalling, etc. better? Sure. I defy anyone -- ANYONE -- to say credibly that he or she would do better at 23 years old facing all the pressure RGIII has faced.

If 2013 had been a winning season for us, none of this crap would be troweled out in the "media" (Sally doesn't count -- she creates, at best, opinion pieces that are typically laughably devoid of fact; she lost me about 20 years ago when she wrote a piece about the Sydney, Australia olympics and roundly bashed that country -- trust me, if you've been there, you know it's a remarkable place.) But back to my point, if the Colts had tanked this season and Luck was forced to face the cameras and justify his very existence, do you think he'd handle it materially better than RGIII?

Sally needs to just come clean that she's a Cowboys fan and stop imposing her drivel in us all, most of which could have been created by a bunch of drunk chimps randomly swatting at a keyboard.

But then again, that's just my opinion.
