RG3

Part of the problem was getting drafted by Washington.

 

can't underestimate this - their track record of developing draft picks has been suspect at best for most of the past decade

Maybe a little true but ppl have to stop denying the fact that Kirk is a better NFL QB the bob if he had the same chance as other starting QBs in the league he would do wonders IMO he doesn't get to work with the first team O ever

further along now yeah as a pro-style QB, but inside the building there has been little question who the long term answer was.  Whether or not you agree with their assessment, that's what it is.  Given this latest injury though, who knows what happens now.

Well yeah they traded their future for RG3 but now they have to see he's just not better the Kirk now

[stat2883]

he's just not better the Kirk now

 

that's very much up for debate

[Colts_Fan12]

that's very much up for debate

How he comes in every time with no practice with the first team and usually looks good and he has nowhere near the reps RG3 has with them

Did you watch the game today? They put up 41 without bobby

[Somewhere ovr the Waynebow]

Right now it really doesn't matter how skilled he is. If he can't stay on the field....it doesn't matter. He dislocated the ankle...add it to the injury list.

yeah I saw it...also saw his three games last year - got progressively worse.  Not taking anything away from Cousins, but the sample size isn't there yet, and there are still plenty of questions - arm strength, decision making, etc.

Yet he hasn't had 1 offseason to work with the first team he always is conning right in and doing the best he can plus he was in shanahans crappy offense last year

he had all of last off season working with the first team - questions of arm strength have nothing to do with anything you said....and forcing balls into coverage is just as much on him as it is the "crappy offense" he might have been in.  That axe you're grinding must be pretty sharp by now.

 

but I have no real intention on spending my time debating this with someone claiming an MSU bias - its obvious nothing will change.  I'll rest content in what I know of the situation there.

I watched him all the time at MSU I see no reason to question his arm strength

Btw every QB forces throws from time to time look at bobby so yeah

[dw49]

I guess we need to shelve the RG3 debate for 10 months or so.....

Shanahan's lack of empathy, and willingness to leave him in to get hurt didn't help. He deserves a lot of credit for what has happened to Robert Griffin III because once that happened he has never recovered.

[akcolt]

He looked pretty good today!! Hoyer wasn't bad either go MSU!!

He is a better NFL QB than RG3 pretty simple watch them play. This is going to create a crap storm in DC. That offense is set up perfect for Cousin's game.

[pgt_rob]

CBS says dislocated ankle.

No way just ask the skins fan above he still holding onto hope that RG3 is great lol

[Patagonia Chris]

If Cousins has a good season does that mean that we've seen the last of RG3 in a Redskins uniform?

No cousins can go to the pro bowl and they will hop right back on the RG3 bandwagon

Will be interesting to say the least. Cousins will be in his contract year and the Skins would have to decide whether or not to ue their 5th year option on RB3 before the 2015 draft.

Wouldn't be ironic if the Skins ended up trading RG3 for a draft pick at the end of the season. I don't think an economic textbook could come up with a better example of a sunk cost.

[NewEra]

Dude sucks. The media hyped him up. Cousins is actually a better qb. Maybe rg3 is a better athlete but that don't win games.

[rock8591]

The title of this thread needs to be changed to "Lieutenant Dan,"  Griffin's real nickname

 

:) :)

 

I see what you did there.

I think what the Skins do is pass on the 5th year option on RG3 in Arpril 2015. The they let the two guys compete for the starting gig next year. Then they let the loser walk after the 2015 season. BUT......I guess the question is what happens if Cousins is really good this year and it appears that Washington thinks he's the better option going forward and don't want a competition. Now you have a possible scenario that you can get the most value for RG3 by trading him during the offseason. That would really make it likely that they dump him before the 2015 season. The cap hit would be 6.7 mill as it looks like they tend to back load these rookie deals that are fully guaranteed. Higher than what I would have thought be not prohibitive...
