Diss Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It's all on Shanny, not RG3. He should not have been playing, but he can't be the one to pull himself. Mike gets paid the big bucks to make the tough decisions, and he made the wrong one yesterday. Let's hope it doesn't cost us anything more than the loss.

ZRagone Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It's just funny, a couple years ago, Cutler messed up his knee and took himself out of the game. All we heard was how he was a coward and how can his team trust him.RGIII plays through an injury and all we hear about is how he should've taken himself out. So which is it? It's both ways, because the Media prefers to act indignant and critical than any other way and thus every situation is looked at in a "How can we spin this in a way we can criticize and deride so we look like we're analyzing things" fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zCommander Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Like Doc Walker said this morning on the radio: There is a reason why he has a C on his uniform. And he was livid on how everyone was saying he should have been pulled. What RG3 did is correct. In the chat room I said the only way RG3 comes out is if he benches himself. He has been fighting for the last couple of games and got us the NFC Championship. There is no way the coach pulls him out based on what he had done up to this point. He didn't have to listen to his QB but he did give RG3 the benefit of doubt. I have no problem with this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrikk Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 RG III has said as much - he is going to play until he is told not to. And even then, he will be angry but he will respect the coach's decision. Griffin is a warrior. A true one. One that will run until he is not able to. But he also respects authority, and will sit down in Mike tells him to. It's time to take command of his future since he will always find ways to win, even if he knows he may be hurt.

ZRagone Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I think that's kind of his point, though, to be fair to Warren. People have opinions. Some are very informed, some are not. But if Griff's criticism is coming from players for staying in the game, doesn't the fan who agrees with that sentiment carry a little more weight? The issue with Sapp's comment is that Griffin's tweet itself acknowledged that some have been in that situation. Others however, haven't. Even as an "ex player"...that doesn't mean they've necessarily been in that position as a coach, or in that position as a player where you're expected to "pull yourself out" from a key position in the midst of a playoff game. No offense to Sapp, but I HIGHLY doubt that he'd have just shrug his shoulders and trotted off the field in the playoff run to the superbowl if he felt like he could still play but knew he was hurting.

Phat Hog Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 RGIII was gimpy in the Dallas game, but that didn't seem to matter because we gave Morris the rock!!! This loss is squarely on coaching vs. RGIII in or out of the game. We had a successful formula, but decided not to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Anyone that thinks Griffin hurt the team or was selfish has never played a high level sport or been a top athlete. Period. You don't take yourself out and you do everything possible to get on the field and stay on the field at the top level. And even so, the guy earned the right to play if he felt he could go who are any of us to take that chance away from him. The team elected him captain because they believe he gives us the best chance to win. Period. So sick of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the job of the media bloviators to be fickle, stupid and work a constant double standard, if they were consistent there wouldn't be controversy. This is the exact reason that I haven't watched a single millisecond of ESPN or NFL Network since the loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeisgr8 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Warren SappVerified@WarrenSapp@RGIII really? What about us that have, should we just say nothing Warren is an ass and has been one of the biggest critic on RG3 all year... I believe RG3 was referring to media dorks that have never played the game, but as usual that jackass finds a way to make it personal and about himself.

Vrikk Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 So sick of this. What do you expect? It's the off season. We exited the play offs, and did it with a lot of drama and talking points. Of course we are going to dissect the hell out of this until every fan makes a personal vow to never speak the words "RG" and "knee" in the same sentence ever again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike gets paid the big bucks to make the tough decisions, and he made the wrong one yesterday. Let's hope it doesn't cost us anything more than the loss. Mike gets paid the big bucks to lead this team. He was LOYAL to his star player, and when RG3 wanted a shot to win the game...he gave it to him. Right or wrong, I respect the move and I bet the players in the locker room feel the same way. All the media stuff is just noise. And the reason people question and criticize is because we lost.

acuratl1984 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 This will be a great test for him. Lots of people questioning him right now on a national stage, something I'm sure he's not used toHe will learn from this experience and come out stronger He always has and I think this will make him even better as a QB. I remember reading an article where it said, after he tore his ACL in college, his accuracy got better when he came back. Something about practicing throwing, while sitting on a chair. I have complete faith in him, before RG3, we were never invited to dinner, this year we got to taste dinner, next year we WILL get dessert.

illone Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 He is exactly correct. "In great attempts it is glorious even to fail" - Vince Lombardi This quote embodies football for me. Yes, winning is great, but it's about the "will" to win, and the battle. Rg3 battled last night, and the kid has more heart than a lot of players in the league. He earned his teammates respect as well as his opponents respect. That's all you can ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media (including the ex players) do nothing if they're not piling on. Sapp would be the first guy to criticize a QB for quitting.

Unforgiven Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It was a damned-if-you-do damned-if-you-don't situation. He pulls himself and they question his heart, he stays in they question his head. No reason to think about it twice, just keep going forward. There is no way to win this debate with your critics, you can't talk them into seeing your point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Does anyone have a video of the cheap shot that he took from Bruce Irvin? I can't find one and I was at the game and still haven't seen it. I was too busy celebrating the touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct information is paramount whether you are playing a football game, making investments, or risking your life in battle. RGIII flat out lied to his coach. i love the kid but if I were Mike i would have a very long talk with him in the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
