And Greg Cosell went on the radio today and said RG3 missed plays the entire game against the Eagles. He wasn't anticipating breaks, was hesitant and held onto the ball too long. He also said his mechanics were all over the map and he was unnecessarily throwing from different angles, which contributed to his inaccuracy. Guys were open and RG3 missed them, yet it's all Shannahan's fault. Got it.

Then news breaks late in the day that RG3 called the wrong protection on the last play. But let's blame the O-line.

This kind of reminds me of 2007 when Jason Campbell was getting pummeled and there were no running lanes for Clinton Portiis. Campbell apologists put all the blame on the O-line. Then, low and behold, Todd Collins comes in and never gets touched and Portis suddenly has gaping holes to run through. Just maybe Collins knew what protections to call, was able to anticipate what the Defense was going to do BEFORE the ball got snapped and therefore, got rid of the damn ball instead of holding onto it. Maybe Defenses couldn't blitz him like they could Campbell.

RG3 just may lead this team to the promised land one day, but right now he's average. His mechanics need work, he has poor pocket awareness, he fumbles like Rex, gets balls batted down too frequently, can't slide and is inaccurate. On top of that, there seems to be growing evidence that he has trouble reading Defenses and can't anticipate what's going to happen pre-snap.

Good news is that he's only in his second year and can and probably will improve. But the onus is on him and blaming the coaching, the system or the O-line is loser talk and only deflects accountability.

More reasons to stick with Griffin. He needs to work in live game situations to improve the mechanical and cerebral aspects of being a professional QB. He will get there eventually. I compare his growing pains to Cam Newton's last year. Cam has looked like a complete QB the last two months.

Again, I just think having absolutely no offseason to prepare is a huge reason why Griffin III has struggled this year. An offseason where he could have worked on those mechanics, instead, he worked on rehabbing the knee. I'm not sure why people don't consider that?

And also, I just think his rookie season was such a blessing and a curse, because the initial success in his career has led to very inflated expectations. Barring anymore serious, offseason consuming injuries, year three should show a bit more accurate picture of what the 'skins have with RGIII. Give him a full offseason of preparation to work on those mechanics, development of more drop back passing, and give him some upgrades up front to better pass protect. If all the stars line up like that and Robert still appears to show no signs of improvement, then we're in trouble. But all this nitpicking right now is just what it is, nitpicking.
