Official Robert Griffin III - RGIII RG3 (1 Viewer)

[TwinTurbo]

I think owners and fans of most NFL teams wish they had somebody else at QB. And if you are even just a serviceable QB like Flacco or A.Smith or Dalton, you can make a ridiculous amount of money for inconsistent play and for not being among the worst starting QBs in the league.

RG3 is not the worst starting QB in the league and he's arguably the best QB on his team. I know that's not a ringing endorsement, but the Redskins would still be 3-8 with Colt McCoy or Kirk Cousins or at least a dozen of the other starting QBs in the league. This is not a good team. That said, I can't recall a QB having their star fade so quickly after having such a promising start to their career. I think he's set the record for going from pure gold to pariah the fastest.

And I can't wait for Eagles fans to turn on Sanchez once he inevitably turns back into a pumpkin.

That Schefter article makes no sense. They're benching him for the second straight year, but he's still a part of their plans? Also, does anyone else find this terrifying?

For the first time since it surrendered three first-round picks and one second-round pick for the right to draft Griffin, the Redskins will have their full allotment of picks in addition to room under the salary cap. That means behind owner Dan Snyder and general manager Bruce Allen, the team will be positioned to strike this offseason, spend big-time dollars and improve its roster.

I hear Bruce Smith and Deion Sanders are available ...

Them and almost every other team in the league. More teams than not have plenty of cap room next offseason.

Couple great articles from the Waldman site from the rookie season:

Griffin's biggest asset was always the athleticism, not his brains or passing ability. Trying to mold him into a pocket passer would inevitably take a long time, so I was always entertained to listen to Gruden talking about it as if, you know, it's just a matter of having a full offseason and basking in the light of his coaching magic. My guess is Griffin's next coach or OC won't shy away from letting him run more, while forcing him to slide. That buys the time to reach hygiene level as a passer.

[SIZE=13.63636302948px]On a different note, Griffin has been beyond terrible, but Gruden has made so many errors in handling his QBs that he might have earned the sack as well. Would be funny to see both chased out of DC! [/SIZE]

It's probably a bit earlier for the trade speculation, but how serious is it? RG3 is still working off a rookie contract so it's not like he's a huge cap problem.

I'm sure good players will line up to play w RG3 or Colt and get called out by an arrogant 2nd year coach.

I doubt Buf has the ammunition to get RG3. I'd imagine he still fetches at least a 1st and some other stuff. They don't have a 1st. I'd love to see him end up there, however. It would be somewhat hilarious if he ended up in St. L after all is said and done.

Correction, Kolb went for a 2nd and Cromartie. I'd think RG3 fetches more than that. It's a QB driven league. Like it or not.

People thought Kolb was good when he was traded. Everyone knows RG3 sucks and is always hurt. You are in fantasy land.

Articles like this are fun. Philly for instance, but they would have to have gotten rid of one of Foles or Sanchez. - But Griffin's rep is so sullied what teams would be taking him on with out a QB guru and without a starter in place so that Griffin would have to be viewed as a rehab project? - What kind of draft pick do QB projects fetch?

Also there's the open question as to whether any head coach wants to deal with him. Those guys know the scuttlebutt and my guess is that head coaches have probably gotten the sense that Shan and Gruden did not exactly enjoy working with him, to put it mildly.

 

[Da Guru]

Griffin may be heading to be a career backup type of QB. Griffin is not effective if he does not play with abandon, if he plays with abandon his body will get destroyed. So he really is screwed at this point in time. Right now I doubt the Redskins could get more than a 4th rd pick for him.

 

[offdee]

This pretty much sums it up for Bob, unfortunately.

 

[Warpig]

I'm dropping him in the one dynasty where I have him. It's a cap league and he's too damn expensive to be a bench warmer. Even with deep rosters, I'm not paying him $9 million to ride the pine. I can pick up McCoy for $200K and get better production.

 

[lod01]

Bob's a career benchwarmer now or starter on a really poorly managed team. His only chance is to luck into playing for a team with a stellar defense. One that can take them to the SB by itself and his running ability adds a little extra to the team. He will never be a guy that carries the team. He'll just be along for the ride.

 

[The Duff Man]

Might be able to trade him for a 3rd. No way he gets more than that.

He is not good enough to beat out McCoy.....why will he fetch a 2nd or 1st?

"Bob, we luvya, you are a unique, explosive, exciting player. That TD run against the Vikes your rookie year was one of the most exhilarating plays since the merger. Now, don't ever do that again."

You're assuming Gruden will last long enough to be a 2nd year coach.

Good read. Thanks for posting that.

Prediction: Desean gets his number back next year.

So he can get lit up and hurt even more regularly?

Where's that positively animated Charles Darwin emoticon when you need it?

 

[flapgreen]

He's done. You can tell even he knows he's done. Hell of a 2 year run at Baylor and then the first year with the Skins.

This unfortunately looks to be accurate. That extra bit of athleticism that used to get him out of some trouble seems to be gone after all the injuries, and now he's just a regular QB who is not that great of a pocket passer. He's lost all confidence and it seems like even he thinks he's going to get hurt everytime he takes a decent hit at this point. Does a 2 second body check everytime he's on the ground just to make sure...gets up slowly and usually has a slight limp assuming something is going to hurt worse than it actually does. You can almost see him thinking to himself "oh that wasnt good, oh wait, not too bad...huh, guess Im fine. OK, whats the next play call?". Its become sad to watch.

Pretty sure he's still recovering

 

[Jerry Curl]

I do not foresee many players wanting to play for Jay Gruden.

The end is near for RG III, Redskins

You're assuming Gruden will last long enough to be a 2nd year coach.

You mentioned Gruden's tenure and so have several other people, and it's an open question whether he'll last past this year as HC. So far he really hasn't demonstrated that he knows how to lead a team; he seems overly fixated on QB play and not much on anything else. If the Redskins play the Colts close this weekend Gruden will talk about the QB play. If the Redskins get blown out he'll talk about the QB play. It's what he does, while he's mostly silent on defensive failures, offensive line failures, special teams failures. Coming out publicly and ripping players just shows he's weak at his job; if his team was playing well there would be no need for that. He's a rookie 3-8 coach whose team can't even line up and take a snap without consistent penalties.

Right now he looks like he's in over his head. He concentrates far too much on QB play and too little on everything else. And the 2 young QB's on his roster have each gotten worse since he's been here. It's far from a lock that he'll be back.

The fact that the Skins won games with Cousins and McCoy but not with RGIII is almost all that needs to be said.
