Hopefully he doesn't forget to find a quality backup qb this time.

If the commercials aren't a problem when they win, they shouldn't be a problem when they lose either. Just an example of petty, dimwitted people out there focusing on the wrong stuff.

Yep, the commercials arent a big deal especially since he's is contractually obligated to do them. The same with his weekly pressers during the season, its something that has to be done as part of the job.

Where I do think RG could stfu is with things like his recent facebook post and twitter. That stuff isnt helpful and just provides fuel for the fire.

People need to get over the whole "keep low profile" unrealistic expectation. Even if RG3 were to give up all of his commercials, our local TMZ-like sports media will be all over him. What is he supposed to do, go live in a f*cking bunker?

It's really really simple. If you don't want the heat from the attention you draw to yourself via marketing, don't do it. That attention works both positively and negatively depending on the circumstances. I've noted that there would be a circus regardless, but by putting oneself into the spotlight, you draw yet additional attention that probably wouldn't be as magnified had you not put yourself out there. You don't think that dumbass "ALL IN FOR WEEK ONE" bullshit didn't put pressure on people in that organization? You are very shortsighted if you think not.

I don't think anybody is asking him to live in a bunker or stop living his life. He needs (and you fans do as well) need to stop talking about the media negativity towards him while he's continually throwing his image out there via ads/promotions/etc..


also, RG3 is a communications major, there is no way he could let this opportunity pass him by. He was trained to market and brand. That is his profession.

If communication was his major, he must have been asleep in class during those lectures, because he failed horribly at communication during this past off-season on through the season.


ps. Communications isn't a major that trains one how to market themselves. That would be Marketing.

Deion Sanders tweets he will suit up for Pro Bowl - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10287474/deion-sanders-tweets-suit-pro-bowl)

Lol. Looks like the NFL put the brakes on Deion playing in the PB.

Leave it to Deion to make a mockery of an already ridiculous game.

Not happening.

So much for that good idea, no Prime Time in Pro Bowl | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/13/so-much-for-that-good-idea-no-prime-time-in-pro-bowl/)

Actually, if Jerry Rice suited up, seeing him burn Leon Sandcastle for a long TD would have been perhaps the only reason to watch. (Jerry would probably still play -- he's famous still for his workouts near where I live.)

First time in awhile that I won't be watching the pro-bowl.
