skins eagles postgame

What's he supposed to do, go through a laundry list of his mistakes and apologize for each one?

At this point anything he says is going to get picked apart.

He wasn't right in his comments but I don't think it's the end of the world either.

You're exactly right, but unfortunately that won't stop people bitchin' about it for the next year until the 'skins start playing better ball - namely RGIII. Then those same bitches will start riding RGIII's jock again.

This has nothing to do with how he's playing. I'd say the same damn thing if we were 10-0.

Stop and take a look around. Even the neutral based writers see it. This isn't something that's conjured up because we are losing.

I'm hoping we get to see more Nick Williams in the slot.

And less of him fielding (or not fielding!) punts

Yes, it is something being conjured up because the Redskins are losing. How many times was RGIII's leadership questioned last year? None.

I do not get the impression from John Keim's piece that he, himself, is questioning the leadership of RGIII. John Keim's reaction: " You need to be careful about what you say." That's not an indictment on RGIII's leadership, it's just an indictment on RGIII being more careful about what he says in post game interviews. And Keim goes on to site Sally Jenkins - do I need to say anything about her? Honestly? Darrell Green - his flip flopping on the Redskins name puts his credibility in question. And Santana Moss? Seems like Moss needs to learn to shut his mouth. If Moss had a beef with something RGIII said, he should have pulled RGIII aside, privately to speak to him man to man. None of this passive aggressive going to the media stuff. Moss needs to look at himself before he indicts RGIII.

I think that's all Keim's point was. If you don't watch what you say, you'll have people picking your words apart. Trust me, happens all the time here.

Let's be real about this. Robert is 23 years old. He's a young pup. A lot has been placed upon his shoulders with this franchise. It's almost a curse that he had such a great rookie season. That, in itself, just magnified the pressure ten fold. Has Robert ever been in a situation where he's on a losing team? I don't think so. This is all new to him. He has to learn and he will.

I haven't said the first thing about leadership. Not one. I've said something about him blabbing to the media, which still stands.

The people that have brought leadership up is Fletcher, Green, and now Moss. If you want to consult them about RGIII's leadership, by all means do so, but not sure why you even direct that towards me. Besides, the fact his teammates are questioning his leadership in public says a great deal. A huge deal.

Stop using that "he's young" as a excuse. Is he stupid? Is he a moron? The answer is no to both of those, so he knows good and god damn well to shut the hell up. He doesn't want to because nobody is going to tell him what to do or how to play. He's said this on several occasions. Luck is in a more pressure situation than RGIII was. Imagine a team cutting a SB MVP and future hall of famer who practically built the stadium you are playing in, just so they can anoint you the next biggest star? Luck is a much greater pressure situation than Robert. By far. Also, his team was much much worse, and his offensive line is atrocious. Do you hear Luck blaming his coaches or OL during press conferences? Nope.

Luck doesn't have nearly the same media scrutiny. DC vs Indy? C'mon.

Griffin has plenty of pressure. Trying to turn around a franchise that's been stumbling since the 90s? A fan base desperate for a savior?

I agree with the media and spotlight being greater in DC. I'm not slighting Robert's pressure. Any QB in the NFL is going to be under some serious pressure to perform, especially ones drafted high and in high media areas.

Luck isn't have that same type of scrutiny as well because he's not giving them any ammo. Robert is his own wost enemy when it comes to the media shit storm. It's bad enough on its on, he doesn't need to fuel the fires.

He needs to be more careful with what he says, because the smallest things can get spun way out of control.

Luck isn't under scrutiny mainly because they are winning. When you're losing it's open season on anything and everything.

Wait a minute. You're posting posts and links about articles that's supposedly questioning RGIII as a leader, and then saying you have not said one word about his leadership, but then go on this diatribe in your last paragraph here, quoted, saying "He doesn't want to because nobody is going to tell him what to do or how to play." So, if that's not questioning the guy's leadership skills, I don't know what the hell is? And Luck is under much greater pressure? LMAO!!!! You cannot be serious NC? You're comparing Indy to Washington D.C.? Let that sink in for a second. Indy to Washington D.C.

The links I posted were people talking about RGIII's comments this past weekend during his press conference. You know, the ones calling out his coaching staff and others. Many many others see it, and recognize it was a huge fuckup by Robert.

Moss happened to expand his discussion about Robert's leadership, and even went on to throw the Redskins PR team under the bus as well.

Well, Robert has said he isn't going to hold back in interviews and he's going to not allow people to tell him how to play. That isn't a shot at leadership, that's a shot of him being a stubborn arrogant person.

Again, I haven't said anything about his leadership skills, his players have. Stop pulling stuff that isn't there with me. If I have a problem with his leadership skills, I'll damn well say it and I won't dance around it or mince words. Thanks.
