I don't think Robert is an example of poor drafting. He broke the mold as a QB, we lived and died with his health and in the end nobody learned anything because Mariota will go #1 this year.
I guess we can agree to disagree, but I don't want my team cutting ties with a guy that has a probowl, playoff appearance to his name at 24. Injuries are real. He's an option if nothing else.
Yes, agree to disagree. We could be at this awhile.
Twitter is a riot right now. Some good laughs at the expense of Bruce.
Not sure what anyone was expecting really.
Went pretty much as I thought it would, he's a master of saying nothing.

Not only is he a master of saying nothing, he's seemingly the master of knowing nothing.
It doesn't even seem like he's tight lipped and nervously trying to say the right things. He comes across as incredibly stupid and unintelligent.

Anyone have a video link of the presser? The Skins pulled the one off Youtube. I got to know how HarvestFest is going.
Edit: Nevermind seems to be working now.

Allen's presser reminded me of this.

IMO this is rather naive of you.
There's no secret or surprise as to why RG3 is where he is today. He did nothing along the way to be treated as the end all be all to our off season success.
He's not good anymore, I agree, but why the hell would the Redskins show a lack of patience and act ruthlessly with Robert? We suck, we have time and there's no clear cut alternative.
Exactly! There are no better QB options for next year might as well try to make something out of RG3, Kirk, and some other option. Sorry I think Colt sucks.
QB is not our biggest issue right now.

In his presser Bruce Allen came off as a guy who sucks at his job yet hangs on. Surprise surprise.

CSN Bay Area reports the 49ers spoke with ex-Redskins coach Mike Shanahan on Tuesday.
Shanahan didn't have a formal interview, and it's unclear what the discussion was about, but we assume it's in regards to the team's head-coaching vacancy. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported on Tuesday that Mike's son, Browns OC Kyle Shanahan, is also on the 49ers' list. Shanahan took the 2014 season off after compiling a 24-40 record in four seasons with the Redskins from 2010-2013. He coached in San Francisco from 1992-1994 as the 49ers' offensive coordinator

rooting against this guy
Not going to happen. Their offensive line across the board is too big and strong and effective to run his offense.
He will have to rebuild/dismantle their line before he starts.

He made the probowl and the playoffs as a running QB. He and RGII decided he was no longer a running QB.
He reinforced that decision almost every time he ran read option this year by handing the ball off despite plenty of wide open space to pick up 8-10 sometimes more untouched yards.
His accomplishments are a non factor because he no longer plays the same way he did in 2012.
What has he done since his conversion to a pocket passer?
It's easier to recognize what he hasn't done. He targeted one pass against Dallas greater than 10 yards through the air. That is a single pass attempted greater than 10 yards. With one of the biggest deep threats in the league on our team it's a 50/50 shot DJax comes down with it if he just throws it out in front of him.
He is about as effective as Peyton Manning would be if Manning and his dad, Archie decided he was no longer going to pass from the pocket and he was going to be an option QB.
