The RG3 Sucks - Knee Jerk Reaction Thread

If the line doesn't get better, Griffin will never improve and any other QB we draft will go through the same thing.

You can't be the #2 overall pick, have had multiple draft picks traded for you, play in a system designed for quick releases, be "renowned" for your mobility...and not carry any of the blame for the team's offensives struggles. You just can't

early scouting reports seem to have him as an NFL ready qb with a lot of upside .... if we draft him i will turn to the purple and black in a heart beat and not look back.

I've said it for a few months now, but if the Skins end up drafting Winston, which would shock me, then I'd pretty much be done as a fan of the team. I'm not saying I'd jump ship and go all in on another team, I would just barely pay any attention to the NFL. As things are now that might already happen.

First credit Griffin's athleticism. The threat of the run greatly diminished the pass rush. Beyond that? Credit the Shanahans for designing something he could execute.

But don't credit them for developing him, he obviously hasn't developed at all.

I don't think he is denying his culpability. He may not understand the extent of it, but I have never gotten the sense he doesn't look to himself for improvement first.

i believe cosell. he was on espn radio the other day .. sd winston is nfl ready, can make reads, move in the pocket and can back peddle to buy a little more time but still throw a 35 yard strike.

sd it is rare for a QB to be able to back peddle and still have flawless mechanics. sd only rogers can do it now, peyton used to be able to but cant any more.

dont hold me to it being cosell but it was someone i respect.

You all know, no matter what happens, short of injury, that RG3 will still start Opening Day 2015, right?

I mean at this point the Skins are married to the guy. I keep seeing posts about bringing in a free agent veteran. Who do you have in mind that will be available? Michael Vick? Mark Sanchez? Christian Ponder? Jake Locker? Want to trade to get Culter? Because I think the Bears might entertain offers. Any of those excite you? Because that is what is available.

Want to trade a bunch of picks away and go for Jameis Winston? (BTW, I say this in jest, I doubt this would ever happen, but if it did, I am done with the Skins. That would be a bridge too far.)

I doubt Snyder will let RG3 ride the pine and put Colt out there. I doubt Colt would even give them a good chance of winning many games next year.

So we will watch sub par QB play the rest of this season and go 0-6 or maybe 1-5 because Dallas sucks in December. Then in the offseason, the coaches and media people will say, "Oh RG3 has got it now, boy. You will really see something from him this year." Then the on the 1st snap of the 1st drive of next season RG3 will take a sack or throw a pick. And we will have been duped again.

RG3 has 6 more games to reclaim his starting job. If he doesnt secure it, open QB situation come TC.

This is a pretty damn good breakdown of how terrible RG3 was on Sunday. The mis-reads are even more egregious in hindsight.

I listened to it today and it was very insightful/depressing. Sounds like RGIII is missing a lot of stuff that should be second nature to him by now. I am still rooting for him to succeed but I would be lying if I said I wasn't running low on hope.

Can't do better than that

If you listen to the entire thing that was his answer to every question. He made Belichick look like a blabbering schoolgirl.
