Around the League...Training Camp Style!

I think we've seen he's pretty damn elite when healthy.

Yup but that was not as a pocket passer. That was in his gimmick pistol formation.

Lil patience with RG3, folks remember Andy Dalton.

Let Gruden and RG3 work together a little bit.

Yep. I didn't mean my remarks to indicate problems now.

You have returned us to the point: if we are being patient with RGIII, there ain't no way that Cousins is starting.

You know if Robinson woulda come down in bounds, how different the media narrative woulda been this week?

what ive heard in camp is Rg3 timing has been off with his recievers and his rhythm isnt down yet. Thats just natural adapting to the system.

Im glad Colt and Kirk have played well behind him as well. But what bothers me is the media instance trolling of Kirk vs RG3 comparison. Thats yellow journalism...if you want to call it journalism.

If Griffin comes out against Houston, has 250 to 300 yards, a couple td's, has a few back breaking runs for 40-50 yards, then backs that up against another bad team, then all the Cousins talk will go away. That will give him some early confidence to get going early. That's what he was drafted to do and he needs to start doing it against two bad teams with bad QB's. We can't wait around all season for him to grow into the job. The time to perform is now as everything is in place for him to have a great year. Other young QB's are doing it so he should too.

I think the giants may have made some.key defensive acquisitions sneakily... if eli plays better they could be competitors for the division. .

Ill take the win, with RG3 playing an error free game. But if we win and the special teams has 2 kick returns for td and 3-3 field goals, then im gonna get extremely excited.

We picked RGIII #2 overall in the draft. While he is young and and in a new system right now, he had better become elite sooner or later. You don't want to spend the #2 pick on a non-elite player.

But I agree with those who say what he needs to do more than anything this year is just win.

It was the #2 pick, but there have been enough busts at high qb picks that I am willing to spend the #2 (+the rest) to have stability and good to great play at the qb and go forward building a team around that. Other than G1 no one thinks Eli is elite, but he has two SB rings because he played good to great at the right time. I think Griffin is and will always be, better than Eli, so now it's a matter of:
a) consistency
b) learning he doesn't have to expose his body for extra yards (probably the hardest thing)
c) building the rest of the team.

All of that is doable, and (a) is definitely coachable. My biggest worry with Griffin will be his instinct to get that last yard, even when that last yard might cost him his body.

Definitely. I think both the Giants and Eagles will be better this year, while the Cowboys fall back to around 3-6 wins. JPP healthy will help the Giants a lot, as will a better run game and a more passer-friendly scheme. The Eagles will regress a little on offense, but I think their defense will be better. NFC East predictions as of now? Eagles, Giants/Redskins, then Cowboys. We could easily take the division if RG plays well and a few other things happen.
