Thread: Robert Griffin III Benched

  1. #1

    Robert Griffin III Benched

    WOW! should he be considered a "bust" at this point? From rook of the year to being replaced by McCoy..

    Could he possibly turn into a journeyman ala Jim Plunkett and shine later in career?
    Brandon Marshall, MAN...!!

    Last week.......

    Robert Griffin III: 'We're focused on San Francisco'

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...-san-francisco

    We're focused ... focused ... certainly focused on San Francisco. Just focused on San Francisco.

    Focus on San Francisco. Prepare and focus on San Francisco.

    Hey...it is what it is. I'm just focused on San Francisco.

    Then there's GOD .... GOD .... God.

    This week RG III is focused on the bench. The NFL Network's general take 'right now', is that RG III's future in the NFL is no longer as a Franchise QB but rather he will be better positioned as a back up.

    RGIII has not looked good as a starter since his injury and rehab. He's no longer mobile and his feet work leaves much to be desired. He is blind to down field options for the pass. His career as the Skins starting QB certainly appears today to be in jeopardy.

    RGIII being benched might be worth starting a thread in a Redskins forum. Maybe.

    This is why trading 4 picks for one is a bad idea. Especially when your HC is actively trying to destroy the QB like Holmgren tried to wreck Dorsey Levens ankle after his holdout.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Remember when running QBs were going to take over?

    Kapernick will always have his Packer games.

    And Vince Young was going to redefine the league. Rodgers was a bust too back then. Good times.

    Not everyone can have the "IT" factor.

    Mike Vick was on his way 'til the Feds unjustly locked him up. Coulda been the first QB to run for 10,000+ yards and throw for 30,000+ yards.

    Let the man who has never gambled, exploited and killed "animals" cast the first stone.

    Everyone is also predicting the demise of the running QB. Conveniently forgetting Newton, Luck, Wilson, Kapernick, (possibly) Tannehill and Rodgers.

    Yes, he is a bust. Sounds like he cant figure out pro systems

    But not just any normal bust, the skins gave up a ton to draft him, setting them back a few years

    The ironic part is that the coach running the offense he could succeed in is the same guy who ruined his leg.

    I wonder if you could sue a coach and team for malpractice?

    This kid is not a bust and I would take him in a second - though not in front of Rodgers obviously. He will be a stud in a few years. He has a great arm. He is just small.

    Partial is that you?
    Here's what Chris Cooley thinks about that.

    Ever play Pro Pickem ... pay attention to the NFL overall?

    Yes you have so what's your point with such a useless post?

    If the thread topic annoys you? Why not simply ignore it?

    This thread has 18 replies. If you had ignored it that count would 'only' be 17.

    I've been watching him carefully ever since his injury and that whole thing was messed up something awful.

    They hurried Robert Griffin III back and I felt his competitive fire and desire was a part of that. He should have been nursed back much more carefully.

    Now writing that overall since that return from his leg injury he's played poorly. He handled the pressure of it all terribly and got in the way of himself and his best interests for his future in the NFL.

    I will be surprized if Robert Griffin III ever returns to his Rookie year form.
