NYCskinfan82 01-23-2014, 05:18 PM sorry to thread-jack and not to call you out for this at all, but this right here is the reason why i hate the media today. Those comments (or more accurately 'not only do i want to be a football player, but i want to be an entertainer and an icon) were given to peter king in a promotional interview for under armour when asked about the endorsement deal. Broadcasters, bloggers and even king himself glommed on to that part of a quote, out of context, and ran with it.
Similar things happened to rg3 with all of the mess this season. People latched onto the negative narrative regardless of who it came from or if it was even valid.
/threadjacking
well said.
Giantone 01-23-2014, 05:22 PM It's as if 2012 never happened.
A guy coming off a serious knee injury with no offseason work gets no breaks I guess.
Matty I agree with you but he should also not have had any starts ,at least for a while .
calia 01-23-2014, 05:28 PM For comparison purposes: Payton Manning's rookie numbers are as follows:
Comp. Pct. 56.7
Yards: 3,739
Yards/Game: 233.7
TDs: 26
INTs: 28
Rating: 71.2
So higher TDs, but a lot more picks too and a lower QB rating (by far) than either RGIII season.
I think folks need to give RGIII a break and see what he can do with a larger body of work (and good health).
skinsfan69 01-23-2014, 07:23 PM People around here are addicted to stats. How many games were there where RG3 was the QB and it was a struggle to get first downs? Green Bay, both Philly games, Denver, KC, San Fran, then he'd get some junk stats when the game was out of hand...he had a down year, he held the ball, he was inaccurate, he looked at one wr and pulled the ball down.... he's young and learning... it happens. The 2013 drama filled year is over. Time for RG3 to work on his craft, get better and move on.

IMO that is what RGIII needs to work on most. Too often he was on the move and took his eyes away from downfield, thus thwarting any opportunity for a big pass play.
He can do it. I'll bet we see a different RGIII in Sept. '14.
skinsfaninok 01-23-2014, 07:46 PM Yeah well CK stares down WRs all.day and Is known as the 1 read QB but winning as a team cures all of that. Griffin needs to work on a lot but so does RW, CK and luck

Yeah, Kaep is even worse than RGIII at the look-at-one-guy-and-take-off mode. Kaep would drive me crazy if we had him.

Jaws must have been drunk for saying he was going to be one of the greatest , idk what he saw but as far as a pure passer there just is no way. He's not the passer RG or RW are that's for sure

Well said! All these young qb's stare first option, however, first option is usually an open wr. They run slants and rub routes that weren't in the playbook for RG, the offense in 2012 and 13 was an early 90's offense w/heavy read option. SF runs the same sets but they run power, have a top five defense, better receivers, and a functioning Specials Team.
That Guy 01-23-2014, 10:03 PM RG3 needs to fix his footwork too, it was pretty terrible last year.
