Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015

kinda how i see it. RG3 needs to accept coaching and instructions. all those stories you heard of how defiant he is, even in practice is just mind boggling.

only in DC ..... who knows, maybe RG3 will be more open minded this season and gruden can figure out an offense to mask his weaknesses .. like knowing protections and play calls and assignments and 101 stuff.

I agree. I'm not as optimistic because of what I mentioned below. I hope that I'm 100% wrong though but it's not how I see it playing out.




Another respondent suggested Griffin is delusional and lacks humility.

“Griffin sees himself like Peyton [Manning], in that light,” a personnel director said. “When he looks in the mirror, he is seeing things that everybody else is not seeing. That is why I was surprised when they gave him the fifth-year [option] and said it was an easy decision.”


and his ego will not allow him to hit rock bottom and actually grind his way back up the right way.”

These guys are spot on in my opinion. RGIII's biggest downfall is his ego. He lacks the humility to become the talented force he could be. It's such a shame to see talent be ruined by ego. It happens all too often in the sport though.

This is a prime example. The latest interview with Larry, RGIII tries to squash the notion he can't read NFL defenses based on the 2012 season.

“So we’ve got to get away from this reading defenses stuff, man,” Griffin concluded. “If you can’t read defenses, you can’t play in the NFL. So obviously 2012 proved that we can do that, and I can do that.”

This is purely ego driven because he would know that was a zone read sort of offense that spurred that season on. You know, the kind of offense that has a one read and go. That's not reading a NFL defense from a QB standpoint. To think so is laughable. I simply don't see Robert making that next step because I don't think his ego will allow him to do it. It's hard to tell an individual something who already thinks he's got it all covered. Mike tried too and so has Jay Gruden.

It is now or never as really RGIII must overcome his injuries and ego to really be the franchise QB the team drafted him to be.

I'd love to be wrong, but I just see too many missing fundamentals for him to be great. amazing OL play could cover some of his biggest weaknesses, but unless he can use that time to improve (a LOT) it'd just be more smoke and mirrors.

If he's smart he'll put his ego aside, wasn't he humilated enough last year? I place my bet on RGIII pulling a rabbit out of his ass and having a turnaround this season.

Thanks Vinny.

Seriously, I want my team's QB to have that confidence when he looks in the mirror.
Honestly, I even want the back up QB feeling that way.

I hope the kid tears it up this year, God knows he's been put thru enough.

There's a thin line between confidence and arrogance. RG3 has been a train wreck except for his rookie year with an offense that took the requirement to read a defense away and had him rely on his legs. He wasn't even smart enough to slide in that offense.

I hope I'm wrong. I'd love for him to turn into a franchise QB. Between his fragility and his ego - I don't see it being possible. Every time he gets hit, which is a lot, I don't think he'll get back up.

What is really telling to me is the part in the Post article where Andy Benoit talks about RG having no sense of basic QBing fundamentals and he has leaps and bounds to go to be an average QB. The sad part is that he's right. Its not like all of a sudden RG is going to light it up this year and look like the second coming of Steve Young, he needs to look like he can actually play QB in the NFL. At this point in his career I think the best that can be expected of RG is that he can develop into a serviceable NFL QB who wont make mistakes and cost his team the game.

like i said, if its slow start to camp and beginning of season, I want him on the bench immediately so he doesnt get hurt for contract guarenttee. If he fails this year, biggest bust all time Redskins history.

I think you give Griffin all of camp and the first four weeks. If it's more of the same then put in KC and give him the rest of the season. We can't have another season where the QB is limited when it comes to the playbook, and all the dink and dunk stuff. I know it's a re-build but you still have to try and win games. You still have to try and get the ball to your playmakers.
