RG 3 This Season

[MTK]

I can see him sticking around as a backup if need be, what else is he going to do that pays this well?

I think we might want to pump the brakes on predicting his next move anyway, he says he's fine and will play next week.

This.

I'm not sure he sticks around as a back-up. Back-ups need to come in and make an offense work based on a game plan built around another guy. I suggest that most NFL back-ups have to be able to competently run a standard drop-back passing offense and are mostly plug-and-play guys. They can stand in the pocket, run the play called, and get the ball out. Generally, they aren't starters because they lack one of the essentials for starting QB's - either their arm isn't strong enough, they aren't accurate enough, or they are completely immobile. When your back-up is playing, you are not adding wrinkles; you are going more basic.

RGIII just doesn't have the make-up of an NFL back-up. He is not and will never be a drop back passer. For whatever reason, he cannot get the ball out on time or with anticipation. He has plenty of arm, starter quality accuracy, and is still plenty mobile. However, you can't just plug him into a standard NFL offense and expect it to be run efficiently.

He may stick around for a couple years just b/c of his physical talent, but I just don't see him pulling a Jason Campbell and becoming a journeyman QB - bouncing around the league, possibly starting for a couple teams but generally being a solid back-up. He just doesn't have the right skill set.

I cannot believe an rg-3 thread is getting more hits than opening day game day thread?!? Wtf?

He's a crash test dummy playing QB in the NFL.

It's only one week. I'd assume we'll see McCown in there to just steady things a bit just so they'll have a functional NFL offense. Eventually maybe towards the end of the year, when Cleveland hasn't won a game, they'll put in the rookie from USC. Griffin will be out of the league next year, or backing someone up in Saskatchewan.

he didn't look soo bad, just not good.

He's done in the NFL

Per Shefter:

Browns' QB RGIII has a fractured coracoid bone in his left shoulder and he will be re-evaluated in 3-4 weeks. Could be out for season.

Just O-M-G.

Guy is a waste of time.

[skinsfan69]

He's on injured reserve and they're saying he's missing an extended period of time. He actually fractured a bone in his shoulder. This is EXACTLY why they kept McCown. That was the smartest thing they have done all season!!

So after all the training camp/OTA and mini camp practices and teaching him how to slide and protect himself, this dummy runs right into a guy at full speed. WTF is he thinking? It's almost like Griffin has no awareness on the field at all. No football instincts at all. His career is over. He won't see an NFL field again.

Injured on a totally unnecessary hit. Again.

[Chico23231]

feel bad for him...but he never learned. get down or get out of bounds.

Can we put this rg3 nonsense to bed

[mredskins]

I do feel bad for him but it is just the time and draft picks that we wasted on him to see nothing that angrys me. Never in a million years after that first season did i think it end like this. Crazy.

Yup. Had no chance of getting that first down. Looked like he was taking on the defensive player a la Pete Rose and Ray Fosse.
I just want to say injury or not he stinks. The best thing that can happen to this guys legacy is an injury. That we he can at least he can lie and say "i would have been great if..." To his grandchildren.

My prediction came true. Now he cannot play in Game 4 against us. Too bad for us. Now we'll have to play a real NFL QB.
