pjfootballer Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Watched 4 live and 3 wins. I'd rather not know we win one until it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 I wonder how many Ravens fans would want to have their last Super Bowl victory annulled if it meant they got RG3 as their quarterback? I'm betting the answer is zero. This is basically how I came up with my hypothetical, except with Ray Lewis. I was watched the Ravens D get torched by Manning and was taking to some people the next day about how their D now sucked without Lewis (and others). We were all in agreement that they just win the Super Bowl so who cares how bad their D is now. Also, no where did I say that you would know that a Super Bowl win is coming, that RG3 had to leave the team due to a career ending injury or that RG3 wasn't a part of this Super Bowl winning team.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Good points Springfield. The hypothetical goes like this for me...I would know nothing in advance. Basically, if 10 years from now I could look back in time would I rather have: Option 1: at least 1 Super Bowl title and Cousins playing QB (potentially adding more Super Bowls) after RG3 stopped playing (for any reason...maybe to run for Congress or open a bakery, whatever) Option 2: no championships but still have RG3 playing QB I would pick option 1.

Hanzo the Razor Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Wow. Right now that does look like a good compairison. Actually, most of the Lions losses in 2012 were by just one possession... they almost never got blown out. http://www.nfl.com/schedules/2012/REG/LIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc1 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Super Bowls don't grow on trees. There isn't a single player that you don't give up for a Super Bowl. I still believe that our SB aspirations are aligned best with RG. Looking/Hoping for a different look in O vs Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Ruckus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Guys, the whole point of this game is to win Superbowl championships. If you wouldn't give it all up for that end, you're watching this sport for reasons I couldn't begin to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'd give up everything for one Super Bowl victory. Are you kidding? I love RGIII as much as the next Redskins fan, but the Lombardi is what you play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve09ru Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 There's a difference between earned and given. I want the Lombardi to be earned. If it's given then it has no meaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wouldn't give it all up for that end, you're watching this sport for reasons I couldn't begin to understand. In my case, I view myself more as a football fan than a fan of any team in particular. If this makes me less of a 'true fan', then I'm fine with it. I'm more interested in intriguing match-ups and great football action than anything else. For example, I know a girl who is a diehard Ravens fan and supports the Ravens way more than I support the Skins -- but she couldn't tell you what 22 personnel are or the difference between 12 and 21 personnel are, or what trips left means. I like the game itself more than anything else. For me, the most interesting match-ups of the week are Chiefs/Eagles, Texans/Ravens and Redskins/Lions -- but not just because I like the Skins, but because I'm curious to see if the Redskins offense can get things on track and to see how well the Lions do without Reggie Bush (if he ends up not playing, natch). While winning a Super Bowl would be great, I'm really interested to see how RG3 develops as a NFL quarterback... will he end up being everything people expected? In ten years, how will he rate next to Andrew Luck or Russell Wilson? Can he transition to being more of a pocket-passer that can scramble or will he end up being Michael Vick? I'm really interested to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you do know that one IS coming. That is all part of the hypothetical. You did say in your OP, that he had to leave the team (retirement, injury (god forbid). The hypothetical is that someone tells you you CAN win a SB, but after that SB, Griffin can no longer play on the team. If you say yes, I'm willing to not have Griffin on the team, then by effect, you know a SB "is" coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzo the Razor Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 If the Ravens go 4-12 this year (not saying they will), fans will still be bitter and angry despite just winning last season. I think that while everyone wants a championship, people really want their team to not suck and be "in the hunt" season after season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinWill Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 It seems to me there are people on here who are rg3 fans first then redskins fans after. I would take another championship and trade rg3 in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
