RGIII Is a failure because he cannot stand in the pocket and read a defense and hasn't bothered to try to learn how . Was part of the one year read option fad along with Kap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 23 minutes ago, BADOLBILZ said: Why not? Talented guy..........injuries were an issue but I think he mainly failed because he was just lazy and didn't want it. If he found the love of the game in it's absence he could be a nice pickup. RG3 has more arm talent than Kaep..........Kaep has a cannon but just one speed. Plus Kaep's GF tweeting that pic of the Ravens owner Steve Biscotti and Ray Lewis as Calvin Candie and Stephen kinda' sealed his chance of EVA-EVA-EVA playing for Baltimore. I mean that was a pretty good movie.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 LOL!!!!! He will be one of the first people cut. Ravens are making some very questionable moves, I am usually impressed by their signings but not in the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Kaep's girlfriend !@#$ed this one up for him. Bob Griffin is the worst. Even Eugene Smiff is better. I can't see Bob making the 53. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTier Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 1 hour ago, MJS said: Good for him. I've always felt bad for him. Forced to play injured and never recovered. He lost all confidence. Hope he makes a comeback. Griffin's problem has been that he never adjusted to the pro game. Even if he'd never been injured, he would have failed once defenses figured him out. It's the very same reason so many young QBs light up the league for a season or two and then crash and burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Ahhhhh yes. RG3.... Redskins receive: 2012 first-rounder (No. 2: QB Robert Griffin III) Rams receive: 2012 first-rounder (No. 6: Traded to Cowboys), 2012 second-round selection (No. 39: CB Janoris Jenkins), 2013 first-rounder (No. 22: Traded to Falcons), 2014 first-rounder (No. 2: OT Greg Robinson) good times for ‘skins fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a sub .500 record in 6 seasons to show for it, a 35 year old free agent rental and a decimated roster. #BETTHEFARM can’t miss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the Raven's Browns roots are the winning branch of the Cleveland Browns family. They are the descendents of the original Cleveland Browns of the All American Conference, Jim Brown, NFL Champion Browns. The current Cleveland Browns are the adopted children who have the name but not the DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RG III looked outstanding that first year....right up until he got hurt. You can say he didnt have the intestional fortitude to overcome that.....but that is what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ... opposing defenses adjust and exploit crappy QBs' weaknesses. All the time. The good QBs counter-adjust. The bad ones lose their jobs.
