The RG3 Sucks - Knee Jerk Reaction Thread

Sorry, but all three threads have gone to RG3 discussions so I figured a thread devoted to him and his performance the next 6 weeks would be better.

Carry on! Let the other threads discussions stay on track.

He really does suck. The poor footwork on drop backs drives me crazy. Backpedals, lazy drops, that's basic stuff.

Drop backs should look crisp, get to the spot quickly and athletically. It would at least give me a LITTLE signal that you can take coaching.

He might suck...I'm not sure yet.
Having said that I would try to trade him early next year.

All I know is he is focused on San Francisco....

He certainly sucked against Tampa Bay but that doesn't mean that he is doomed to suck forever. If he must play the rest of this season, then he must also show steady improvement to keep his job next season.

I was his biggest supporter and defender, and I still like him and want him to be the franchise QB we mortgaged the house for, but I have absolutely no hope for that anymore... If we could trade him next year for anything, I say do it...

Chris Cooley: RGIII was so bad, I can’t assess the rest of the Redskins’ offense - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2014/11/19/chris-cooley-rgiii-was-so-bad-i-cant-assess-the-rest-of-the-redskins-offense/)
This is a pretty damn good breakdown of how terrible RG3 was on Sunday. The mis-reads are even more egregious in hindsight.

Amazingly good analysis. Take out Merrill Hoge, put him on NFL Matchup.

I highly, highly recommend that everyone on The Warpath read this. It should be required reading before anyone is allowed to comment on RG3.

This shows to me that we do not have a student of the game on our hands. RG3 loves to talk about believing in yourself, and working hard, and the drive to get better, and he loves his inspirational quotes. And by all accounts he is working hard. Everyone at Redskins Park says so.

But you don't see the ability to process what he's seeing on the field and read it. He's just not doing it. The Shanahans scaled down their offense to make it work for Robert, simplifying the reads so he could adapt as a rookie. He's had injuries which hurts the mental aspect, but as Cooley aptly points out, he's missing BASIC stuff. Like day one of training camp basics.

Given that he's working hard, and given that he's still missing simple reads, I'm left to question whether he is mentally sharp enough to process the reads on the field quickly enough. It's either that or he's really afraid of getting hit, so much so that he's too frazzled to make the right decisions.

Either way, he needs to get better quickly or I would never resign him past his rookie contract.

The article was brutal but fair. This had to be Robert's worst game as a Skin, by far. Really casts doubt as to whether he can ever perform at the NFL level.
