How can Skins start RGIII?

[DandyDon52]

Two words: Dan Snyder.

He has ORDERED that RGIII starts.

I guess that is it, but makes me wonder how he made billions with the decisions he makes.
must have had money to begin with.

Self made man in the '90s

I do agree though, Snyder's business acumen and history can fairly be called into question. One of the mysteries that have never been solved is HOW did he as a 25 year old convince Mort Zuckerman to invest billions in his plan to put ads in display glasses in a doctors offices. And that is in a nut shell how Snyder communications became a billion dollar company

As the Commanders World Turns continues. This is the beset circus in the NFL:

Report: Several Washington offensive linemen dislike RG3

At today’s press conference, Griffin was asked about problems with the team’s pass protection. Although Griffin said he wouldn’t point fingers at his offensive linemen, he also didn’t put the blame on himself, even though many observers have pointed to Griffin’s lack of pocket awareness as a bigger problem than Washington’s offensive line.

According to Jason Reid of ESPN, Griffin sidestepping his own responsibility for making the line look worse than it played is exactly the kind of thing that causes him problems in the locker room. Reid wrote on Twitter after Griffin’s press conference that coaches say “several” offensive linemen dislike Griffin.

There seem to be two problems facing Griffin. The more important one is that he simply hasn’t played very well since suffering a severe knee injury at the end of his rookie season. But another problem is that he hasn’t shown that he has the leadership qualities that a quarterback needs. And until he starts playing better, it’s hard to see how he’ll be able to rally his teammates around him.

Now I expect NIB to come to RGIIIs defense and claim that Jason Reid is a hack that has a personal vendetta against RGII, but I recall this accusation was raised last year as well. I think it is clear that there is a divide in the locker room when it comes to RGIII, and I believe that a lot of it has to do with the way RGII doesn't come to his teammates defense and leaves them out to dry. He deflects any blame from himself. Even Chris Cooley has said as much.

This has gotten completely toxic and I hope Snyder keeps RGIII through his entire contract.

Two things:

This rumor is likely true.

Jason Reid is indeed a hack, who has a very personal vendetta against Griffin, and even admitted so on Cooley's radio show last year. He is usually exaggerating anything in regards to Griffin and everyone in this area hates his guts, but he is likely correct in this case. A broken clock is right two times a day.

One thing amazing is the amount if press this guy gets. He ship has sailed.

The vultures in the DC media

I actually just read the transcript and saw the PC. Seemed pretty ho-hum.

JReid then drops the tweet about teammates disliking the guy.

I have to give you credit for hanging in there. My bro-in-law is a Commander fan and I constantly hang crap on him. He just laughs it off and anymore he'll poke fun at them before I get a chance.

I am not like DC area Cowboy fans who dissappear on December 31st, 2012

Regardless, I tend to have a big picture outlook on things. Know when to fold 'em and look ahead.

Shanny had a chance in 2011 to do that, but didn't take the Jim Irsay approach sadly.

I hope we thoroughly whoop these guys both times!!

That was dropped by Jason Reid. Taking that with a huge grain of salt.

It's very likely true.

You now it... I know it.... Rgiii knows it.

Do you know it? Are you in the locker room? If it was, JReid drops this much earlier. Picked a day where Robert spoke to get max exposure. Then again the guy has had a personal (i.e beyond playing) agenda against Robert for a few years. He is also the bum who said the Wizards should let John Wall go because he has tatoos

https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...aa2146-dd02-11e2-bd83-e99e43c336ed_story.html

Factor in that Wall is expected to receive a huge payday from the Wizards next month, and the timing of his tattoo revelation raises questions about his decision making

Since that joke of an article, John Wall has raised his game to become one of the best PG's in the NBA

I'll wait until someone a bit more credible confirms it on the o-line and Griffin. This wasn't just the "locker room" this was the "o-line"

Roots had been mentioned last year as well by someone other than Reid. Chances are more likely than not this is true.

Hokie, you're starting to sound like the ES forum. ...the train wreck surrounding the Skins is all media generated. ...if not for the mean ol media creating this circus atmosphere, we would have been a perennial playoff team by now.

Interesting, there usually is a gap ,mystery, or few details in certain points in how these guys become billionaires.
If you get someone to invest millions your on your way, but billions make it easy.

You clearly have issues with reading comprehension because I have suggested no such thing.

Stick to debating what I say and not what you think I have said

Would love to have RG3 here as a backup.

I've never understood that. Many in here have said that before but I don't get it. By suddenly putting a helmet with a star he will learn how to play QB?

His scheme is not a fit at all for him..

He can play QB imo but he is not a west coast QB.

In Dallas he would be back in a vertical passing scheme with a team that want's to run the ball.

Plus, I like a QB that can come off the bench and run if the starter gets hurt because usually a team can't prepare for that.

RG3 has an accurate deep ball as well.

Some team will make him a starter.. A team like Houston, Buffalo, Jets and maybe Philly would probably jump all over him if given the chance.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The scheme definately doesn't fit him but I'm not convinced he can play QB. At least not up to a standard that could win you games consistently.
