RG3 in Carolina?

[Jeremy Igo]

A former Redskins GM says RG3 would be a great fit in Carolina, backing up Cam Newton. 

Quote

"The other one is Carolina, where you've got a heavy base run system," Casserly continued. "And they put in the read-option, although they only run it a few times a game, but you've got to defend it, now. When you have a read-option in the offense, and you do run it, it will force you into all-man coverage situations which simplifies the coverages and the reads. And a heavy running game opens up the play-action, which are simpler throws."

Casserly added, "Those are the type of systems I think he has to be in, something like a Cam Newton or the one Ryan Fitzpatrick was in with the Jets."

Of course, the Panthers already have Derek Anderson and Joe Webb... both arguably better QBs than Bob the Third.

Can he catch?

Consider the source.

Spock will get my pie forever. 

 

Also RG3 would be a great backup to Cam, maybe if we ever traded DA.

Yea Casserly is about the last person I'd listen to for advice....

Just about no chance rgknee lands in Carolina

My thing with RG3 has been his decision making, not his talent level. I suspect that he has more talent than Anderson and Webb put together. Within the right system, coaching (up) and attitude, I believe that he may realize some of that potential that some still believe that he possesses.

As for the Panthers, unless RG3 has really changed his mindset, I don't see how he could survive emotionally playing second fiddle to Cam. In theory though, it could be a wonderful thing. 

The Redskins totally messed the kid up by failing to put him in a situation to best succeed as a player and as a man.

RG is pretty talented but his attitude is just awful and he is going to do nothing but bitch and complain about being a backup and god forbid he starts one day and plays well. I would rather have Derek

Don't think RG3 is a team guy. Panthers wants team guys not individuals. Doubt it will ever happen.

This isn't "Carolina should sign RG3", it's more "RG3 should be looking for a team that runs an offense like Carolina or the Jets because it would be an easy fit for him."   And he's right, a run-heavy scheme with zone read elements would be a good fit for RG3, we're just not interested.

If RG3 weren't  locker room cancer it might work.

No. No. No. No. No. 

Luckily this is after Cam's MVP season so I can leave it at 5 No's. 

Otherwise, our fan base can be so fickle they'd be calling for RG3 after 4 games.  I remember just the year before last hearing MANY people elaborate on why D.A. would be the better starter than what is now the Most Valuable Player of the National Football League

he'd have to buy into the program 100% and that means sitting behind cam probably indefinitely

i don't know if he'd be a fit for our offense anyway.  his best season was his 2012 rookie year and that was in a shanahan west coast offense with zone read wrinkles.  he can't drop it in a bucket from 40 yards out throwing off his back foot like cam.  or at least not consistently.
