The RG3 Sucks - Knee Jerk Reaction Thread

[KI Skins Fan]

Cooley says RGIII "has the yips" because he is afraid of being hit. Could fear be the cause of his losing his poise and not executing the offense?

After 2 major knee surgeries to the same knee, knowing that one more will likely end his career how would most of us feel? I've been saying the same thing, he's playing scared and lacking confidence, not being able to focus. If he wants to make it in this league, he needs to get over it. Easier said than done.

So why give up every pick if we will just ruin him (which we will, until we fix our OL)?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's still a little shell shocked.

Nor would I. Let's face it, we all cringe when we see he's about to have contact.

Cooley's piece was really good. But when I read that part, I wasn't sure he had a good bead on it.

Griff definitely is unsure of himself, holding the ball way too long.

I'm thinking if he feared the contact though, he'd be letting the ball fly much earlier, not holding it longer....he'd also bail the pocket much faster, not stand there like a statue.

IDK for sure...just hope the light goes on for the kid before too long.

Hail!

Good point. I dont think its anything other than he simply doesnt transfer what he learns into game situations. He certainly isnt the first and certainly wont be the last.
Its just amplified with us because we were in search of a franchise qb forever, and he was a high pick that we gave up a kings ransom for. If Brady hadnt worked out for the Pats because he couldnt "get it" nobody would have cared. Same can be said for countless others. Even Heath Shuler wasnt as big of a story because we werent so far removed from success.
The Skins drafting RG-3 was the epitome of the "all in for the savior of a down and out franchise".

Brady was pretty rusty after his year out. Carson Palmer is a damn good QB but he was pretty bad for a year or two after the surgery.

Dan Fouts....

...and Super Mario is better than him.

We know RG3 has a ton of issues, Jay Gruden needs to fix them period.

Fans tend to cherry pick when the problem is the player's fault (RG3) or the coaches (Haslett).

To me, both Jay Gruden and RG3 have 6 games to get things right to save their jobs.
