RGIII: "Media trying to Character Assassinate Me"

[TheRumGone]

McNabb tried to warn RG3 about the very thing you just mentioned, because he went through the same thing... the media doesnt want to see black qb's do well

 

white qb's unfornately will always get a pass, Matt Ryan has 1 playoff win and signed the richest contract in nfl history for a qb... WHERE IS THE PRODUCTION... they were preseason superbowl picks and only have 2 wins... up until this point the media has protected him... black qb's dont get that kind or level of protection from the media

 

look at what they are doing to Jameis Winston.... any dominant or really good black qb will be hated or made to be a villan... thats just how it is

 

remmeber last year when russell wilson started off slow in his first 6 or 7 games, the media was saying they should go to Matt Flynn... it always seems like black qb's are on a short leash with the media

 

matt ryan has the personality of my left foot

 

rg3 has a large personality, as does Cam. it has nothing to do with the color of their skin. It has everything to do with their personalities.

The media didn't accuse Winston of sexual assault.

quit trying to bypass the filters, kids. alrighty?

Two read??

 

Try one. Cause after the first receiver is covered, Bob gets happy feet and/or looks to run. 

 

I was being nice. He has gone threw a two read progressing maybe once.

What a tangled web we weave RG3. What a tangled web we weave....

[The Golden Child]

Griffin is handling this criticism in the worst possible way. By attacking the media he is only making things worse.

[SauceBoss]

I love it. He's a hoe and the Redskins deserve this.

[cbully]

if anything they are being nice towards him. he hasn't been labeled with the sophomore slump tag or immature spoiled brat. He just flatout sucks and will not last long. Face it RG3 that confirmed you as Vick 2.0..... OH YEAH AND DEAL WIT IT.......

Nice try.

That OP, really thought he wrote/did something, but unfortunately he/she appears slightly uninformed. It appeared to me, as a cut n paste exercise; taking things out of character and reality on say many fronts, just to make a Newton/Griffin 2nd year comparison.

Yes, there are some obvious comparisons that can be made of the two (dual threat; read option, pistol, etc.). But football wise, you can't flippantly compare their first two seasons like that. They succeeded for two different reasons (basically; Cam excelled in conventional offenses, Griffin did not). And at this point their second seasons aren't the same as well (Panther went more read option Newton's second season; so he suffered. Then when the Panthers went more conventional [from the midpoint of the season], Cam had success, turning his season around from a personal standpoint). At this point, Griffin's still terrible. His stats have been bloated, during Ultra Garbage time.The Panthers competed much better game in game out as well. Even the way both teams ran the Read Option was different (and of course, Washington relied much more on the run, fakes, the Pistol, motion, etc., in general than Cam/The Panthers at Carolina).

Lastly; Cam's father has never been a distraction, and/or criticized the Redskins organization as far as we know. So that OP was way off base in so many of his comparisons, especially inserting Cam's father into the article like that.

They're just not the same QB's, and their teams operate two totally different offenses. Cam is a big strong, rugged drop back QB than can run. Griffin is a lithe scrambler, who throws better off of motion and trickery. He doesn't appear to like sitting back in the pocket, shrugging off defenders, and/or take hits well like Newton as well.

And the off the field stuff Cam experienced was negligible, compared to what RG3 has experienced (including the associated Jordan Gross, Steve Smith comments the author cobbled together). Cam was never a problem with the Panthers in the way the author inferred, or Griffin has been since the legend of RG3 was created last year.

I think cam's father might have been a bit of a distraction at some point, but not just because of the money thing.. But nothing like RG3's

Okay, thanks/kool. 

 

Interestingly enough, RG3's own coach dropped dime on him in an Albert Greer article on NFL.com about him and Kaepernicks struggles. Here's the quote:

 

"Robert is so used to having teams play us in an eight-man front where they've got to stop our run, and (last year, we) had wide receivers wide open. (Last year), everybody played us in an eight-man front, sometimes almost in a nine-man front with their free safety, and when you do that, you're going to have guys wide open like we did last year -- one of the reasons why the play-action game was so good and one of the reasons why we were ranked where we were throwing the football with yards per play. This year, they're saying, 'Hey, we're going to play a little more passive. You're going to have to earn your right in that running game.' "

-- Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan

Yup, no more easy throws/TD's to completely wide open receivers, because you froze the 8-9 defense men at the line of scrimmage off fakes and trickery because of the run game.

 

The articles a very good read on the struggles of RG3 and Kaepernick, for those who'd like to read it (including anonymous quotes from NFL scouts and front office folks). 

 

But of course it's RG3's and the Redskins struggles why he's been so salty with the media and their 'Character Assassination' of him in the first place. Nothing more. 

 

I also heard Sean O'hara on NFL Am this morning say, 'he never burned up the NFL last year. He only threw for 3200 yards. Albert Morris was the workhorse of that offense, and RG3 play actions and motion worked off him. So he really has a lot to learn and has to develop as a QB', when asked about RG3's struggles. That was a paraphrase. 

 

Where was all this proper analysis last year??

'twas just sayin... And watch once Cam has a bad game again the amazing gift from our lord and savior known as the media we'll be right back to where we were last year.

2.0 means an upgrade, RG is NOT an upgrade to Vick, not even right now...Vick in his prime was amazing, i hated him because he was a panther killer, but he was a LOT better than RG

Let's hope not. 

 

But it's amazing how we finally get honest analysis when RG3 struggles (both he and his team), when it was clear to many of us he was riding his running game, coaching and trickery last year. Plus, the team had a fluke run last year, which many people didn't think would last or translate to this year. Obviously, it has not. 

 

On the contrary; many appear loathe to give Cam credit, even when he's doing well ("It's the defense"; "run game", etc.), though the offensive line doesn't allow Cam to throw down field as much up to this point of the season as he's already done/proven so in the past.  Amazing!

 

Gotta Luv The National Media.
