The RG3 Sucks - Knee Jerk Reaction Thread

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.

They are going to have to exercise his option for 2016 - 18 mill - before the 2015 season begins. So if he is starting opening day next year he will be starting opening day 2016 or we will have the richest back up qb in the history of the game. Im not so sure they extend him at this point, and if they dont there might be some hurt feelings resulting in someone else playing qb next year.

I'm talking more so about the fans

Maybe we could package RGIII and our #1 pick and thus move up high enough to draft a new franchise QB.

If Robert keeps playing as he has been, we shouldn't have far up to move.

Alternatively, we could re-install his college offense and win a few games until he gets the crap beaten out of him for good.

I thought smoot was implying that sir lk was not blaming Griff, not Griff himself.

This is a systematic failure, sure he doesn't know the plays. Alot of morons cooperated on this one though. You have a QB that maybe had his ego get out of control. You have an owner with a Napoleon complex. We had a 60 year old HC who played games through the media. We can't seem to develop players at almost any position. Why did they think they could develop the most complicated position in sports.

The skins should tank the season and playing RG3 is a sure fire way to guarantee a top 5 pick. Let the mother sucker keep playing!

[davy]

Never been a fan of the Shanahans but I take my hat off to them for designing an offence that made Griffin look good.

He is clearly incapable of running a more conventional offence and I for one would be delighted if he never started or even played in another game for the Redskins.

If a team does extend a player, the contract does not become guaranteed until the start of that NFL year (which is in march). We can do the 5th year option and still cut him before march 2016 and pay nothing for year 5. The exception being if he suffers a long term injury that would have him out in 2016 then he will get an injury guarantee and that 5th year will be paid.

You have to be talking about Winston. Anyone else is going to fall to where the Skins will draft. And I have had quite enough of moving up "to draft a new franchise QB" that has never played in a pro style offense. Plus Winston has so much baggage that he needs a Skycap to follow him around.

I would give up every 2015 pick we have to get Mariota. That dude is going to be a monster unless he ends up with the Redskins or Raiders.

This is the cleanest explanation I've read: systematic failure is the only way to explain how the team got to this point.

Griffin had his worst game yet imo, it was Rex grossman bad. Idk about him anymore I usually am always positive but at this point I can't be

[Giantone]

...are you sure the guy is healthy ,I'm sure that is weighing on his mind .
