I watched the Saints game (his very first game in 2012) on YouTube yesterday. I have to say, it still gave me goosebumps how exciting he looked. And he did actually slide, but he also took some major bumps even in that first game.

I have to say, I hold no ill-will toward RGIII. I really do want him to succeed. It would have been difficult saying that had he went to the Cowboys or any other NFC East team, but going to the Browns, you can't help but to wish for the best for that team and Griffin.

But in the end, we kept the right guy!

Ok. I thought the sarcasm would drip through the screen but I guess it didn't. Obviously we spent several years and coaches trying those same things. Maybe being released and ending up with the browns maybe made RG3 more receptive but we definitely tried to have him learn how to be a pro qb.

5th year in and they're trying to teach him fundamentals of QB play. Yeah good luck with that.

And to think there are people out there that still think it was a mistake to let him go.

You know I thought things were gonna change with the Browns with a new GM and HC....but then they sign RG3 to what I considered a large contract for him and then they did stuff like add 5 WRs in the NFL Draft. Who does that? Who draft 5 WRs in a single draft? jeez, it insane

Jimmy Harlem is the problem. He hires some guy to run his football operation that was a baseball executive. What a effing joke. I think Jackson is a real solid hire but he has no chance there and neither does Griffin.

I hope he does well, I'm still a fan of his but it doesn't sound promising.

Yup. At this rate he miiiiight be on track for a Todd Collins-like resurgence in his 15th season once he finally learns the difference between 3-5-7 step drops.

Tony Grossi see Robert Griffin as “underwhelming” in offseason workouts | ProFootballTalk

[punch it in]

Like Matty said going on year five, and it is always something. Injury, coaching change, article points out possibility of just not playing real football yet.
It is SO PAINFULLY OBVIOUS over the last few years (even taking all this stuff into consideration) that the man is just not capable of playing QB in this league. At this point he should be more than happy with even making a roster and getting paid.

While I recognize him as a defensive innovator, I was never and will never be a Buddy Ryan fan. Regardless, RIP Mr. Ryan.

Wrong and below the belt, my kind of humor.

Fuck Buddy Ryan, hope he rots.

Was at one point one of the great Defensive coachs in the league and coached what still may be the best defense ever in Chicago but to me he will be as his sons are an ASS.


RIP Buddy.
