RG3 Blames Poor Performance from last year on Ankle Injury

[Diehardpanther02]

I think some of you are looking into this too much. We are all quick to point out cams injuries, tho cam doesnt which is the difference, when cam had a bad game. Injuries effect the way you play there is no doubt about that and to say that rg is not tought is not fair. He is just not smart, he doesnt protect himself but he goes all out for his team and i respect that. But he does have alot to learn, before he can ever reach cams level.

Whats up with the Griffin hate? He had an amazing rookie year and his injury fuged him up. He was still above average his 2nd year and this year was bad but that's partially because he doesn't fit in Gruden's scheme. Griffin would be outrageously good in Kelly's offense in Philly. Wouldn't be shocked to see him go there if they don't get Mariota, Kelly doesn't think Foles is his guy, and Gruden lets Griffin go after this year.

I don't trust Griffin's durability enough to believe he's gonna last as a starter in DC or anywhere else.

 

But beyond that, there are loads of reports that he knows he's Snyder's favorite son and trades on it plenty.

 

In college, he seemed like a good kid.  Since getting to the pros, it's gotten to sound like the people who have to work with him can't stand him.

The hate stemmed from him being in competition with Cam. It has died down since he's mostly sucked after his phenomenal rookie year. The hate is now directed towards he who shall not be named.

RG3 is how I see Wilson, a poor pocket passer thriving in a gimmick offense. Wilson has done well for the most part but I cannot separate him from poor pocket play, outstanding running game and that smothering defense.

He talks too much. He set himself up for all this backlash. From treating his comeback from injury like the end of the world to asking his mistakes not be shown during film reviews etc.

yes, this

 

 

Rg was insuffereable during his first major injury "comeback"...holding press conferences every week in the freaking off season, documentaries where he would tell everyone how he puts more work in than anyone else, running out on the field with the jumbo American flag like he is Hulk Hogan, throwing his coach and teammates under the bus etc. etc.

[dos poptarts]

didn't read the link. Is he complaining about an injury that occurred at the end of the 2012 season for his 2014 performance? Don't really care about Bob except to make fun of the Redskins fans at work.

[Chaos]

RG3 is done. Kaep will be the next of these qbs to fall off the world.

Griffin needs to shut up more than he does.

Difference is Griffin is a more accurate passer and has a much better deep ball. He has the tools but makes poor decisions and can't read a D. Wilson makes good decisions but isn't that accurate (he can hit his guys wide open but he never completes contested passes) and can't stand in a pocket. He panics and runs back and gets lucky throwing it out of bounds. And realize, defense against Wilson are stacking the box for Lynch. Defense against Griffin are spying him and focus on coverage. Lynch opens things up for Wilson, Griffin opens things up for Morris. Morris isn't a great runner but succeeded because of Griffin.

[AceBoogie]

Ok unrelated, but wtf happened to pie??

[The Huddler]

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.

And Cam never once blamed any of that

I will agree that RG3 does have better accuracy than Wilson but as I've said, both have ways to go before being good pocket QBs, hence Griffin suffered in Gruden's system. As for Wilson, it'll be interesting to see what happens when SEA doesn't have a dominant running game anymore.

I doubt it. I think Kaep made that transition this year to be more of a pocket QB hence the growing pains. Kinda like in Cam's third year when we kept complaining he was holding on the ball for too long. I think if he keeps at it, he will get better.
