Robert Griffin III: The Man Behind The Name

[Hog1]

Washington hasn't had a reliable quarterback since Mark Rypien in 1991, and right away fans began singing a revitalized version of their fight song:
Hail to the Redskins
Hail victory
Braves on the warpath
Block for RG3
The prevailing opinion is that if he can turn Baylor around, RG3 can do the same for Washington. All he asks is for the franchise to "grind it out" with him until he gets it right. In the meantime, he's about to go to the bank, like RG1 did, and about to get married young like RG2. He and Rebecca want to eventually start a family, and they already have a name picked out for their son:

RG3 has character issues?

Just laughable.

According to Albert Breer since December, but it is being reported now. LOL.

Holmgren still holding a grudge I guess.

It's BS that some unnamed scout can throw crap like that out there.

In the big picture though, who cares. We all know it's garbage.

Just read Dan Graziano's comments on RG3 and found this to be a rather powerful statement:

Griffin's name will be the second one called a week from tonight at Radio City Music Hall, and he'll put a Redskins cap on and flash that enormous smile. His progress during the offseason and training camp will be fodder for regular updates on TV, in the newspapers and on the Web. He is tasked with resurrecting a Redskins franchise that has been waiting for him for nearly his entire life. He's big news, and if you want to know more about him, Tom and the Mag have you covered.

I'm really looking forward to next season...

I think Griffin and Trent Richardson will be neck and neck all season as the best rookies.

But I think Andrew Luck will actually get the (somewhat undeserved) rookie of the year award when he leads the Colts to the playoffs in the NFL's weakest division.

Help me with this statement, GTripp. Because I can't follow your logic whatsoever.

The road to the WildCard seems littered with insurmountable obstacles for the Colts. Either the Steelers or the Ravens will end up with one of them, they are both excellent teams returning basically intact. In the East the Pats should take the division, and in the West the Broncos should take the division. That leaves the Chargers and Jets involved in the Wildcard chase. And the Bengals were 9-7 as well, last year, and you have to figure Dalton, AJ Green and Jermaine Gresham will continue to grow.

Then if you talk about inter-division play, the Colts sit well behind the Texans. And the Titans aren't half bad with Hasselbeck making that offense not-so-one dimensional.

You really think Luck is enough to bump the record from 2-14 to 9-7 or 10-6, all while losing Garcon, Saturday, and a number of other key parts?

I'd love to hear why.

Great story SS. I find It hard to believe that he has character issues. All we have heard about is how he is such a hard worker, disciplined military kid, intelligent, and so on. I am excited to see the kid this year.

[SkinsHulk]

Great read. I love hearing about young athletes not satisfied with their major milestones and acheivements. This kid says again and again that he is driven and seems his character won't fail. Too bad he doesn't have a rocket arm and cheetah speed....

We deserve a full package guy.

Unnamed scouts offer belated criticism of RG3 | ProFootballTalk


I can understand why people would have some of these criticisms, but my biggest critcism is that why isn't he getting knocked for playing in the same offense as Case Keenum, if Keenum is getting knocked? Some would say the Big 12 is tough competition, but this year I'd have to say there were 3 great teams in the Big 12 Defense-wise.

I don't often see eye to eye with NC but I gotta agree here.

Houston should take that division again.

[GTripp0012]

Houston has no depth. And it's a long season.
