What PR machine? He's a franchise QB, of course he's going to be a constant center of attention no matter what he does.
Did he fly off to Cancun or something with his wife when he should have been preparing for a game or something? Should he turn down offseason work on endorsements? Did he sit on the sidelines pouting with a towel wrapped around his head, instead of being a leader?
I'm not saying RG3 is perfect. I haven't liked everything he said: like nobody would teach him how to play different, and running QBs are losers, the whole "operation patience" thing. I think he should have sat a couple maybe few games at the start of this season. (Not everybody heals the same, and except for Adrian Peterson nobody recovered quicker than RG3 has from that bad an injury.) But for crying out loud, he's been a good QB this season, a great one last season, and he's kept his nose clean and been a credit to the club on and off the field so far. For as bad as he looks compared to last season, as bad as the team is doing, many other posters point out his numbers still compare favorably to lots of starters that aren't getting flak about their play. What more do you guys want from him?
Seriously, I guess we're all ******* in Redskin Nation. Look at the heat Romo gets for devastating INTs, the hate of Brady "douche" and Peyton "dink and dunk" just because they're so good. Those teams and their fans can take the scrutiny. Yet RG3 has a so-so season, and our team and fans just can't seem to handle the heat.
How about a little perspective before we go back to running around in circles with the rest of the Chicken Littles in the media? "The sky is falling! Our team is doomed!"
