Robert Griffin 3rd: That's not enough rings


Recommended Posts

I think there’s a chance that the Redskins and their fans just might take a liking to this RG3 kid.

Let’s leave his on-field skills aside for the moment. We really won’t see that at all until the Redskins take the field against the Saints** in September and we won’t see it fully developed for another few years.

But we can see now what could make him one of the most popular athletes ever in Washington.

He gets it.

We have seen that in how he has dealt with fans and with the media. Griffin’s visit to the Pro Football Hall of Fame provided some more evidence that he is firmly grounded and respects the right things.

Jeff Darlington of NFL.com followed RG3 as he went through the hallowed halls and related a few of warm and fuzzy moments.

The first was when he stopped to look at a mannequin in an old Redskins uniform. When he realized whose uniform it was, he was appropriately awed.

“Sammy Baugh,” he said in a hushed tone.

Baugh came from Texas with much fanfare to be the team’s first quarterback after they moved from Boston. Griffin is from Texas and came here with 21st-century hype to be the team’s next quarterback.

Baugh led the Redskins to an NFL title as a rookie and is the best player in the team’s history. Griffin has yet to step on the field but he appreciates what Baugh, and other players from that era, did for the game today.

"To know what those guys did back then and had to go through to get to where we are (standing) right now, it's extremely important for us to grasp so that we can know what our identity is," Griffin told Darlington later.

Later on, Griffin looked at an exhibit of all of the Super Bowl rings awarded. A Hall of Fame employee pointed out the there were three rings there for the Redskins.

“That’s not enough rings,” said Griffin. “We’ve got to get more.”

Redskins Nation is in unanimous agreement with RG3 there and there is a growing belief that he just might be the guy to lead to way to getting a few more Lombardi’s.

Mod's can delete if needed, just realized it was posted in Football Central.

You know what aggravates me? The fact that this ass hole doesn't get called cocky, a bad teammate or nothing. But, this is one of the cockiest things I've seen a rookie ever say.

I disagree.

I am CERTAINLY not a Redskins fan and I am not buying the RG3 hype unless he proves himself in the NFL.

Having said that, I fail to see where his was being arrogant or cocky. He used the words "we" and gives off the sense of teamwork and dedication to the team that was willing to give him a chance. What is wrong with what he said? At least he did not refer to himself in the third person or say that he was going to carry the rest of the team on his shoulders. I am no fan of RG3, but I don't see anything wrong with what he said.

Text can be interpreted in various ways. If you hear him say it, you can find any pitch and tone, then determine his actual intention when saying "That's not enough rings."

Look at Cam and his interview, the one where he says he won't rest until he has that Lombardi trophy in his hands. Remember that? He didn't have a hint of cockiness when he said that. There was a hint of confidence though. Then his trademark smile.

IT all depends on how he said it (RG3). I wouldn't take this too seriously either way. He has to win the fan base now since he can't on the field at the current moment.

anyway talk is easy and cheap this time of the year

let's see how much of a rah rah guy you are down 28 in the fourth after throwing three interceptions and getting knocked down all day. it's a lesson cam had to learn too.

Yeah, my bad. I don't go in Football Central at all. But, I think Luck will have a better season and more wins then RG3. This Skins fan I know said they'll have 8 wins this year. I was like UHHHHHHHHH?

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
