Can we say this for sure? Freeman is operating down there in Tebow/Gabbert territory.
You are not living in today's reality if you still think the Saints defense is pretty bad. They are actually ranked 11th at this point and thats after having faced the high powered Atlanta offense. They are not elite by any means but bad should no longer describe them going forward unless more injuries pile up.
Yeah, but do you want to count on garbage stats each week? Seems like a dicey proposition.
There's been plenty of guys who ended tops at their position from crappy garbage time. Right now? RG3 is rusty not hurt, he'll start to break in more in a week or two. Then watch out. If he's giving us Top 5 QB production from garbage time cause they're down by 30 in every game? Please, let's wait till he's pacing the field with people and all of Washingtons games are like 49-35 final scores. I'm LOVING my pick of RG3 right now. I fully think that after the Week 5 bye we see the real RG3 back out there. And up until that point yes, I'll take 300 yards and 2-3 TDs in garbage time every week. With pleasure, enjoy starting the other "QB1"s people drafted like Cam Newton and Matt Ryan while RG3 out performs them in the final quarter of every game.
garbage stats still count
You're trying to cause the RGIII owner in your league to panic and sell low, right?
Not 100%, but would you want your WR1 (or WR2 if you have an elite one as a WR1) having an unproven rookie throwing him the rock during the middle of the season? I don't.
Atlanta's offense isn't firing on all cylinders right now. Poor blocking OL, Roddy White hobbling on one ankle.
I own rg3 in my league--and thankfullly Stafford. In the first 2 games-- his team has been down 50-7 in the first half--and should have been 57-7 if James Jones reached over the pylon yesterday without fumbling the ball. Rg3 not only looks rusty---he doesn't look confident. I don't trust Shanahan a lick and I think its ignorant to think that RG3 will start no matter how many more games he plays where the game is over by halftime. I'm not saying it's probable-- I'm saying its possible. Cousins is a very nice qb--- we're not talking about Tebow here. Rg3's stats are as misguided as stats can ever be---he's basically played 2 second halves of soft (borderline) prevent defenses. You have to remember that this team was one of the favorites to win their division--you think there is a 0% chance that a qb change might happen if the team starts 0-3, or 0-4? Again-- I'm not saying it will happen-- but I don't think there is anything wrong with being slightly nervous at this point.
I heard Herman Edwards suggest it during last nights delay. No chance it happens unless RG3 gets injured. As a Skins fan, I wouldn't be totally opposed to it, but it ain't happening.
Ummm, no. No it's not. It's ignorant to think that the Redskins would bench their franchise QB so long as he's deemed "healthy" by their team doctors. Regardless of how you feel he's looked when the first two games weren't out of hand, there's a 0% chance they they bench him even if they're 0-16.
Yeah, Matthews seems like a good guy to have right now. He was drafted as RB3 or even RB4 in most cases, and one a lot of teams are now going to have to rely on. Running well and on an offense that (unlike so many RB1/2's) won't struggle to score points.
I guess. Whoever is on SNF. I lose track with all the pre-game shows and hosts.
I hope you are right. The thread is about players we are worried about--and as an owner-- I'm slightly worried. I do think you are misguided thinking this team could go winless and RG3 would still be the starter. If this team starts 0-4, or even loses this third game by halftime---mark my words-- you will start hearing some major rumblings coming out of Washington. However, hopefully your confidence is contagious and it will eventually lead me to not worry.
The concern is that he is being limited greatly. It's one thing to be a RB that is not used on the goal line, but when you are not used in crunch time or in the 4 minute offense? No, not 2 minute offense...the 4 minute offense. The concern is how limited the playing time, which will spur his ability for production.
Not even close. RGIII doesn't play defense. They could go 0-16 and be down by 50 in every game and RGIII will still start every game for the Redskins, barring injury of course and even if he is injured if he can hobble out onto the field Shanahan will start him. Shanahan went all in on RGIII by giving up multiple first and second round picks to get him (and has looked good for doing it too) and is absolutely locked into starting him for the rest of his tenure with the Redskins.
It may not have been reality but it seemed like Danny Woodhead was on the field a lot more than Matthews yesterday. Ronnie Brown was on the field a good bit too.
If you are going to bold my words--can you at least bold the most important ones "if this team starts 0-4, or even loses this third game by halftime". Seriously-do you work for the media where you cut and chop half statements? lol
It's irrelevant which part is in bold. Yes, there will be rumblings and panic in Washington if that occurs. But irregardless there's zero chance of RG3 sitting for Cousins while healthy. He isn't hurt, he's rusty and getting used to throwing on his repaired knee right now. Either way, Shannahan would be run out of town with pitchforks and flaming torches if he benched a healthy RG3 for Kirk Cousins. The real problem in Washington is the tissue paper defense. RG3 still gives this team the best chance to win games. There's ZERO question in that and you're really not thinking with your head on straight if you can't see that.
Yes, both of those guys were there, and yes, more in the second half.
You're acting as if I'm wanting my concerns to happen. I own RG3---and I'm just stating why I'm slightly worried. The NFL is a "what have you one for me lately" league--and if this team starts 0-4--where every game is essentially over at halftime--- the fanbase will start to go crazy. Are you watching the games? RG3 does not look like he did last year-- if he is fully healthy--maybe he's not fully confident. Also--if you know the NFL--you would also know that there is never a 0% or a 100% chance of anything. As an RG3 owner-- I'm worried--and I'm allowed to put my thoughts on a thread that's asking "what players are you worried about". You see the situation differently--- good for you.
how much do you think gordons return will hurt cameron? i have both as well. im thinking it really wont hurt cameron as much just take away from little's attempts
This shouldn't be a surprise, even with a new offense. No one should have ever assumed that a Jay Cutler lead offense would ever be able to support 3 fantasy player that are reliable every week.
Of course you're allowed to voice your opinion. I'm simply saying it's a crazy opinion. Shanny and the skins sold their next several seasons and souls for RG3. It'd take two-three seasons of this kind of first half play from him consistently to see him benched for someone else. Put this in perspective: The Jets had a lot less stock in Sanchez and he got 4 good years to #### that entire franchise in the ### before they gave up on him. RG3 has done more in one season last year than Sanchez showed in his entire career. The confidence in his knee is the issue right now. That will grow slowly with time. Also the Week 5 bye is a massive help to him here as well.
With everything that has happened with RG3, they will blame Shannahan first, the defense second, something else 3rd, then RG3. Nothing to worry about yet
No idea. It seems like Gordon would open things up for the whole offense, but if no one can get them the ball, it won't really matter.
No we are acting as if your words are completely 99.99999999999% off base, I don't care if the 0.00000000001% likelihood comes true or not. You should not be concerned on any level that RGIII will be benched by Shanahan for anything barring injury. Not even a little bit.
