So is Pat White going to be RGIII's stunt double for camp?

I was thinking he'd compete to be our #3 QB, but that seems unlikely. For some reason, i thought he was New Englands #3, but he's been out of the league the past 3 seasons. He's a camp arm at best.

That was my immediate thought when I saw that.. He's going to be a RGIII replacement through camp so the offense can still get full speed reps in the read option/pistol game to save additional wear and tear on RGIII's knee.

We're finally getting our second round pick back that we lost for Jason Taylor. (thanks vinnie)

This just indicates that the Shannys are going to stick with the gimmick offense, instead of maturing the system into a less hybrid and more of a spread type WITH AUDIBLES.

Is that what it indicates? Or does it indicate that we signed/going to sign Pat White?

Let's just forfeit the season if that's the case, god forbid the head coach tries things that he might think are successful.

Its a gimmick offense that works.

You're trying to take the hatchet to a system that really only needs a screwdriver.

Some fine tuning here and there and there's really nothing wrong with the offense we have now.

I agree the offense can be just as potent, but it can't be the same offense if that makes sense.

Make no mistake, the offense we ran last year will produce diminishing marginal returns. The diminution is the only question. The main factors here are defensive adjustments and RG's overall health/confidence in his ability to plant, cut, push off.

Some of us are still hoping the gimmick plays were more a reaction to the (horrible) pass-blocking than Shanahan's determination to make our franchise player into a running QB.

I am confident the 16 D-coordinators we faced in the regular season thought the same thing.......interesting

I seriously don't understand why, after a full season on this board, and with several excellent football discussions of the specifics about the Shanahan stretch run offense tied to the zone read offense thru use of the pistol, some people still call it an attempt to make Griffin into a "running qb". Griffin is a qb. He runs. Those two facts together do not equal the dreaded running qb syndrome.

There are 11 guys on offense and 11 guys on defense. If you force the defense to play against the whole field, you have a higher percentage of winning plays. It really isn't complicated and it isn't some plot to ruin the health of an outstanding young talent.
