I honestly never heard anyone legit come out and say he's not putting in the work. In fact I've only heard the opposite (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2014/04/08/redskins-mailbag-rgiiis-work-ethic-piecing-the-puzzle-together-and-more/).
I know everyone wants to keep saying he's in year 3 and he should be getting it by now. Yeah he's in year 3, but he's only started 3 games this year.
Well, I think the appropriate phrase would be he needs to get his shit together. He is a supremely gifted athlete and a smart guy. In fairness he is by far our best hope at QB greatness and as far as I am concerned, he has this season to demonstrate that he is the leader of this team and.......the player we gave up sooo much for
A lot of guys need to get their shit together.
Sunday was a collective bad effort all around.

I hear you and it may be cleverly hidden Shananigans.... Who knows
For me he just need to start a reasonable schedule of improvement
Seeing the field
Dumping the ball
Pocket awareness...etc
But it would not hurt my feelings if he would lay off the social everything for while.

As I said, I cannot attest to accuracy. But by appearances, he went to a smart kids school, graduated in 3 years. I would REALLY rather believe that he does not study enough rather than cannot grasp basic offense?
He was at school 4 years. He only played football 3 years. One year he was a redshirt sophomore, because of his first ACL injury, but he did attend school. He still had a year of eligibility though.

Had a day off today and Been streaming pretty much all day the ESPN 980 in DC. All they have discussed is Robert. It has been mentioned as "sources inside Ashburn" fwiw. Cannot really attest to the accuracy.
I'll bet I know who it is

He's started 3 games this year, got no offseason last year, was playing a pocket QB offense his first year, played a college spread offense for three years before that.
There are lots of reasons for his development to be slowed. At the same time, keep coming back to "It's a 3 step drop."
I am hopeful but am really beginning to get worried he may not make the transition.

Whatever it is, he looks bad out there. We can talk all we want about what it might be, but to me it seems he has definitely regressed from his rookie year. I can't recall him having trouble with 3 step drops 2 years ago. It kinda feels like he just can't handle the pressure, both literally and figuratively. And if that's what it is, hopefully we know soon enough. I'd rather move on than waste another 2 years wondering if he can get his shit together.
I feel bad for RG3 but at the same time we don't have any other options than saying "time to nut up or shut up." He is just another piece on an overall shitty team. If he is as bad as he looks right now, I don't see how we aren't going to be set back for a few more years, because I haven't seen anything out of this front office/scouting dept. that says they will be able to get us out of this shitstorm. I guess it's time to strap in, because it looks like we're in this for the long haul.
