RG3 Blames Poor Performance from last year on Ankle Injury

[nctarheel0619]

"The biggest thing for me is coming back healthy. Last year I wasn't healthy, and it sucked, there's no other way to say it other than that. When you get broken and dragged home in the second week of the season ... When you and your team have big things in mind ... It's just getting healthy, getting the mental break, getting a chance to spend time with family, and then formulate my plan going forward for this year, and go ahead and win games and be playing again at this time next year." 

More on dealing with the ankle injury: "I had never suffered an ankle injury to that severity before, so I didn't know what to expect. And it just became harder and harder with the more games we lost, because you know how hard the guys work, and you want to get out there and help them win games. 

"I could have sat out the rest of last year with as bad as the ankle was, but I felt like I could play, and I wanted to get out there and play with my guys and help them win games. And that didn't happen when I got back out there, and coach made a decision. And that was an unfortunate decision, and something we all had to go with, because that was coach's choice. But at the end of the day I got to go back out there with my guys, we had a little bit of fun, we beat Philadelphia and the season didn't close the way we wanted it to, but we all know what we can do and we gotta go out there and do it, and there's nothing that we can say that's going to change what happened last year."

I literally have never seen an athlete use excuses like this for his poor performance.  Cam does this, he would get destroyed.

I don't get the Cam angle here. Are you trying to make it Panther related?

[Jakob]

Cam had ankle surgery, suffered an ankle injury, broke ribs, hurt his foot, broke his mother fuging back in a car crash and put RG3 to shame THIS season.

Don't need to, it's the offseason.  Thank you.

This dude just will never get it.

RGIII sucks. He's always makes excuses. He's soft. Always taking the blame, and that may be a humble thing to do. But if you don't change it for the better in this league, you're toast. The league is a vicious cycle of raw talent and young guys. You can't be the nice guy all the time and expect that to save your ass forever. Nut up.

And if you think RG3 gets a pass from whoever is interested in destroying Cam then you don't pay attention to football.

RG3 was consistently destroyed by the media and even his own coach last season. It's time to drop that the whole world is against Cam shtick. It's stale

What the media thought Cam was coming into the draft (me me me guy), RG3 became that.

the difference is RG deserves every bit of criticism thrown his way...hell he was partically crowned after his rookie season

[Darth Biscuit]

RG3's "game" was his mobility.  Shanahan destroyed that in the playoff game when he re-injured the knee.

 

He'll never be the same.

 

If I was Washington's GM I'd cut him and move on.

RG3 does talk too much but Cam also gets a lot of the same hype. RG3 deserved the hype he got after his rookie season just like Cam. Cam had more passing yds and rushing TDs but RG3's game was cleaner; just 5 INT. I've heard his fan base describe it as the best rookie season by a QB.

Anyways, no one is out to destroy Cam. When he plays well he gets a ton of praise, when he plays bad he gets criticized, same with all QB. I mean the media was calling for the GOAT Brady to be benched at the beginning of the season.

I get the feeling the phrase "RG3 blames poor performance on" could be a 'fill in the blank' used on a regular basis.

[WUnderhill]

Lol, this guy.
