Look I love this kid, I really do. I think he's a beautiful human, but I'll be damned that team seems to be awful.

In fairness I haven't watched Washington play much, this season. However, he can't be lighting it up.

I really pull for this kid, no bullshitting.

Do you all think he'll ever grasp this position or at least go on doing his damned thing, and avoid injury...?

What's the deal w/ all that - what do all of you pros think?

Thanks.

realize this isn't a super cool story, bros, but I'd be interested in a few of you breaking down what you've seen or not seen this season regarding him.

He is good and can make all the plays to get a ring but Shanny and his kid suck. That whole staff is going to get axe. Give him a better coaches and he will succeed. Not running Morris from the two four straight times for the td was plain stupid.

11-08-2013, 06:12 PM
He's going to be fine as long as shanny doesn't run him too much, i've seen him be a pretty damn good pocket passer out of necessity when he first came back from the injury.

I don't think i've ever seen him throw a duck, its always a nice spiral... he'll be fine.

He seems pretty small and takes a lot of hits. I think his knee if okay, but he is still a bit tentative. When his receivers get bumped at the line he has a hard time adjusting. He still looks pretty good though. Not three 1st rounds good though.

Yesterday they were saying four of his interceptions have been receivers falling down. Not sure what other QBs numbers look like in that stat though.

I think the closest we've had to SB-winning running QB was Fran Tarkenton, but he a) lost, and b) was hardly the gazelle that RGIII is.

Thanks for pointing that out -

I think its a combination of the league adjusting to his style of play as there are more and more quarterbacks that are lethal in the passing, and the running game. Also the fact that im sure hes not 100% physically and mentally recovered from his injury. I think you will see him in a few years as an above average qb with big play ability.

Last night was a coaching clusterfuck.

My attention waned because it looked like they had the game sewn up early. Then the O playcalling left RGIII woefully exposed and the D Coord apparently took a nap. Still came down to a Wee Todd Ed 4th down fade call that didn't connect, natch.

Yea, if I remember right, Jeff George started that year, and wasn't a good fit with Marty. Marty turned them around the 2nd half of the season and they finished strong. Unfortunately, Snyder fell in love with Spurrier and let Marty go.

Never loved him I just thought he was a product of hype and being in Andrew Luck's draft. Don't get me wrong he's a hell of a talent and has some amazing accuracy, but he isn't in Andrew Luck's league and time is slowly proving that. Mike Vick and Cunningham before have shown that mobile QBs who don't channel that speed into being a pocket passer end up getting hit, and hit a lot. I can't wait to see us tee off on him in a few weeks, it might not be good but for me he is one of the easiest guys to root against because of all the hype he gets and I thoroughly enjoy rooting against that cornball brother every weekend....:arrow:

Neither Tarkenton nor Elway were "running" QBs.
They were pocket passers with insane scrambling ability.
I'd swear that Tarkenton would run circles and zig zags avoiding defenders for 20 seconds behind the LOS before making huge passes.

Steve Young couldn't get his 49ers into the SB until he learned the nuance of the pocket passer.

ThaVirus

He's way too cavalier with the ball, leading to a lot of dumbass fumbles and some stupid INTs. He also has a knack for taking the big hit.

Other than that he is really good. Definitely a top 5 talent.

As for RGIII, the injury has forced the Redskins to rely on his skills as a pocket passer more than they did last year, and he hasn't yet fully developed into that kind of QB yet.

He came from a system, at Baylor, that is a simple one read system, desigened to get the ball out quick.

It takes time to adapt to the complexities of both NFL offenses and defenses.

The read option made the transition for RGIII (and Colin Kaepernick) easier.

I think it's amazing people are so desperate to say he's not as good and 'what's wrong with RGIII' when it's really really fucking obvious. I mean it's so damn obvious you'd have to be a fucking dipshit to be unable to see it.

He's ten months removed from a major knee surgery.

RGIII's accuracy has dropped significantly from last season, especially on those 15-25 yard routes. It's not surprising given the nature of his injury.

I agree with you though, and I was critical of Shanahan not developing his passing skills properly in favor of the 'quick fix' to save his job.

I think his accuracy will get a lot better once the leg is fully healed. There is really no way it can be merely 10 months later.

He is being asked to do more and it is effecting his production. The Redskins were not a good team last year... they were a team that had a QB who has hot as the sun scorching through the 2nd half of the season and carried their asses to the playoffs.

I don't really understand why the decline of the skins OR RGIII in 2013 is really surprising to so many.

My roommate is a Washington fan and my perspective of Griffin's problems are:

1. The play calling for that offense is atrocious. They have some great moments and some real boneheaded ones mixed in.

2. Griffin is too competitive. He hurt his other knee a couple of weeks ago against Denver and as soon as the ball was in Skins' possession he hops off the examiner's table to go in before the doctor was finished.

I like a guy that competitive, but it also hinders the team at times (which is why I say too), He tries to force things that aren't there, takes unnecessary risks and struggles as a result.

If he could calm himself down he would be having a much better year IMO.

realize this isn't a super cool story, bros, but I'd be interested in a few of you breaking down what you've seen or not seen this season regarding him.

They have about the worst secondary in football. Quick, name their safeties.

Name a corner on their team, NOT NAMED deangelo hall, who himself is far overrated unless he is playing Romo, or Cutler.

Third. Their head coach, is far overrated.

He took an approach from last year that worked, and has ruined this kid.

He has caged him like the eagles did with Randall Cunningham, and it has crushed him.

They have stopped with the focus of the offense being the run game, and bootlegs, and have completely neutered the guy.

It has nothing to do with him, or the knee at this point, it has to do with the dictatorish way that ever since John Elway retired, that Shannahan has become with all of his qbs.

Look at the pattern.

Jake Plummer retired because he couldn't stand Shannahan, Jay Cutler hated Shannahan, and wanted out even though shanny was leaving.

D Mcnabb who is a douche don't get me wrong, but he hated shanahan, and Rg3, and his dad battled with shanahan all off season.

He is a douche.

He is a control freak, who rode the backs of Elway, ad Terrel Davis to a status that he didn't deserve.

That's the problem with RG3

Then what's going on now?


Or can we talk about that?

The Redskins are scoring about the same number of points they did last season.

They are allowing a lot more.

I realize the Alex stuff gets old, but it's hilarious how this board will prop up Alex and poo poo a guy like RGIII.

Its because people don't watch a whole lot of redskins football, but when they see highlights where last year it was all great plays, this year, its mistakes.

The problems with the redskins aren't with RG3 at all in My opinion.

The board, for the most part realizes what Alex is. You don't, under he comparisons to manning and Rodgers.

If you're reading the posters here who think he is, then stop reading it I guess.

But spamming each and every thread with the same bullshit, gets pretty old

Alex Smith is definitely better at ball control.

I'd give Alex, Charles and Flowers for him right now.

Nah, I'm good.

Typical "running" quarterback.

RG3 = BUST

Makes it even worse that he can't run because of his leg. That's what hid a lot of his problems.

His advertising is annoying as all hell though. Glad he's knocked down a peg because his ego is out of control.

:spock:

He sure does need a lot of argumentation for a guy who cost the Redskins 3 first round picks and a second round pick.

I wonder how many people know what the Redskins record was at this time last year.

*hint* They were 3-6.

It's amazing you were able to develop CTE despite sanding the bench with your ass for all of Juco.

Not sure if serious, but if serious, then get the fuck out.

I'm not giving up either Charles or Flowers for an injury prone quarterback, period. Neither should you.

I'd be much much more worried about the injury history than talent level. He's too driven to not succeed, if he can stay healthy.

I think he tries to do too much at times though.

well look at the talent on the team, it's terrible

i cant even name a good player in their secondary they cant cover anyone

and their front 7 is awful. And besides Alfred Morris he has nobody on offense.

Pierre Garcon is good.

I'd take that rookie tight end from Florida, as well. Reed?

The Redskins have the ****ing 31st ranked defense.

Your head is way up your ass.

at this point last season he was 8TD's to 3 INT's whereas this season he's 12 TD's to 9 INT's.

that's a good part of why they are losing. He's got tendencies and defenses are keying this year.

idiot.
