YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Agree? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000502969/article/robert-griffin-iii-done-as-effective-qb-nfl-coach-says?campaign=tw-nf-sf11220705-sf11220705 Personally I am rooting for him (except when they play us) because that's one less team that will be drafting a QB in round 1 next year...
Dorkington Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Mess of a situation over there, and injuries haven't helped. He'll need to be better at the fundamentals if he's gonna make it long term. It's clear he has a boat load of talent though.
Rob's House Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 He had his success running the read option. Unless he's in an offense that relies heavily on that I doubt he does much.
KD in CA Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 He apparently needs his legs to be successful but unlike Wilson has taken a pounding over the past 3 years and that has limited his ability. Also it doesn't seem like he's grown as a player; is he too arrogant? too wrapped up in celebrity? victim of bad circumstances and bad coaching? Who knows, maybe all of the above. I'd say its more likely than not he never regains his rookie year form, but still too early to write him off entirely.
Mark80 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Fortunately for RGIII, that unnamed offensive coach was a certain OLine coach of the Jaguars.
Peter Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I remember when people were complaining that the Bills did not trade away all the picks that Washington traded in order to get RGIII.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 this season will be the judge of RGIII. he'll improve or get benched for good (barring injury to other starters)
C.Biscuit97 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I love quotes where people don't attach their names. It's cowardly. How do we know the coach is any good? All I know is RG3 had one of the greatest rookie years I have ever seen. Then he got hurt. Then he got the chubby Gruden who only got the job because of his brother. And he plays on the Washington Slurs, a dysfunctional franchise. He might not ever get it together in Washjngton but I won't be shocked if he went to another team and had a rebirth.
DC Tom Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Sad thing is, he likely could have been a franchise QB. But the Redskins chew up quarterbacks and spit out their lifeless, desiccated careers even worse than the Bills do.
hondo in seattle Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I can see injuries leading a coach to call a player done. But ego? Leopards don't change their spots - I get that. But RG3 is only 25 and still maturing as a man. His desire to succeed can still overcome his resistance to feedback (if true). Edited July 22, 2015 by hondo in seattle

DC Tom Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 that is sad. So is everyone still calling for Cousins? No. I think everyone's just given up. They're all back on the Capitals and Wizards bandwagons.
LeGOATski Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 that is sad. So is everyone still calling for Cousins? It's about time we claimed our share of the 2012 QB class. Case Keenum still has potential....
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 No. I think everyone's just given up. They're all back on the Capitals and Wizards bandwagons. No Nats?!
negativo Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 At the end of his great rookie year, Shanahan ruined him by allowing him to play on a spaghetti knee in the playoffs. That gruesome injury forever stole his ability to put fear in the defense with his legs. He's not a great pure passer. Not accurate in the pocket. Never developed an NFL game beyond gifted athlete QB, and unless he somehow finds accuracy and the ability to stand in the pocket and deliver tough throws he's done. Also, despite his outward arrogance I think he has lost his self-confidence. RGIII is a broken man.
