IrepDC Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Griffin can't get carried away. There are plenty of people listening to every little thing he says, and they will jump on opportunities like this. I'm hoping Rob ends up like Aaron Rodgers. A very confident QB that puts up numbers to back it up. And coincidentally, I have always said that Griffin is like a faster version of Rodgers going back to that years draft thread. Before anyone dismisses that idea, in college, Griffin ran on the same percentage of passing plays as Rodgers ran in the NFL. They both have great deep passes, too, although Griffin needs better chemistry with his WR's like he had in college. Also, the spread offense Griffin ran in college is similar to the offense Rodgers runs in Green Bay now(I actually wish we ran more spread here). They also both seem to have this blunt side to them where they aren't always pc. A lot of people were/are put off by Rodgers, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavarleap56 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Um, there is no hate in that at all ! Maybe to someone who is narrow-minded and one-sided would see some form of hate, but to the average person there is no hate implied in any way; unless it refers to the media, then guilty as charged. Hec, I have no idea; if I get a paper cut its a crisis ! All we can do is go by what he and his doctor says; if he truly is NOT 100% physically healed, then he has no business being on the field, IMO. Narrow minded? Lol.. Have you seen the comments in here over nothing? People throwing around negative buzz words like it's their job.comments like punching him in the mouth, egomaniac, selfish etc.. comedy. Your other comments are crazy as well.There is no ego growing, he will not be sat down, he's not creating static, and he is healthy mentally & physically.

After reading your reply, i've come to the conclusion that you either didn't fully read my post, or don't understand it; you are speaking singular words, just like the media does. The word 'static', if you care to look, was used in a tense form, which also states that "most likely", which means quite possibly, that his words can and will be used, just as you are doing in my post, in bits and pieces, not fully comprehending the entire sentence. Geez, I feel like an english teacher. He's not healthy physically and mentally; he's nowhere near last year's RGIII and you know it. He might be physically healed, which another poster kindly replied in question regarding the time it takes to fully heal, and was understood and replied to in a nice way, hopefully. Mentally, no. Period. He's getting there, but no way on god's green earth; look at his footwork, he has happy feet right now, though not a bad case, he is skittish in the pocket, and its understandable.

kleese Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Every QB in the NFL has a huge ego. Especially the stars. The ones that don't probably suck. RG has a huge ego, which puts him in the same class as Brady, Rodgers, Peyton, etc... I don't have an issue with athletes with big egos. But to dismiss all RG has said since the injury and blame it on overreaction and media spin is very flippant IMO. The dude is smart as a whip, but very loosed lipped when a keyboard or mic is in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Have you made one post recently that doesn't somehow involve mentioning Andrew Luck?

bedlamVR Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I don't get it ... we wanted a franchise QB like forever ...now we have one we apparently cannot let an article pass without getting panties in a knot and pass judgment on him like some bitter ex girlfriend boyfriend ... You don't like what he says in the media - then stop reading the articles ... You want the kid to shut up and play ... then let him shut up and let him play ... Remember the good old days when your stars were like John Riggins who essentially went off hunting one day and just said **** it i am getting drunk and didn't turn up for the entire 1980 season - He had a HUGE Ego - yet he is seen as an all time great ... Just saying - the kid is a football player... A FOOTBALL player , in one of the most media intense football towns in America ... don't agree with what he says - dont like what your hearing .... maybe you should stop listening ... just watch him play ball ..

Some people... Stand by my original reply. Like I said, he is healthy & fine mentally. Rob has always had Inconsistent footwork as far back as Baylor. Is it ideal for it to continue? No, but that's the byproduct of spending 7 months trying to get healthy to play instead of using that time to Iimprove. Skittish in the pocket, yeah not so much anymore, was moving fine vs Dallas.

Great post !!!!!!!!! Last year when the team was winning games, everybody wanted to hear from Robert. Now fans **** when a Subway commercial comes on. But this the same Robert as we had last year, in regards to how he speaks to the press, how and what he says is still the same. And to my knowledge he has not said anything that has been or could be remotely construed as detrimental to the team and their performance. To date the only thing his words have done is rile up some fans and give the media some material to write or talk about. Personally, I would much rather hear what Robert says, then listen to all the bull**** about the Redskin name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetThePointsSoar Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 What the hell happened to our quiet, intelligent, humble young QB?He's been riding the bench behind Robert this season? Sorry, couldn't resist. EDIT: And for the record, I still love Robert, I just think this is one more example of the media circus taking a single statement out of context and running with it.

PigskinRedskin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Now, Robert is trying to clarify what he meant when he spoke about the drawing of flags: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2013/10/18/griffin-clarifies-comments-about-trying-to-draw-penalties/?wprss=rss_redskins-page-shell&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&clsrd “Some people think I’m aiming to draw penalties and that’s not what I said,” Griffin told the Web site. “I was asked about the hits on the sideline and the guys not being afraid to take the 15 yards for unnecessary roughness. “Some guys will take the penalty and some won’t take the penalty. You’ve got to use the sideline as your friend. I’m not using the sideline to try and get penalties.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice post! Yeah .. this thread is a reminder of why I have spent very little time on this board the last two months! This is no longer a fun place to be. I understand that we are losing, but the constant negativity and harping about the "lost season" is draining! We are 1-4, with 11 games still ahead of us for pete's sake. Lighten up, francis! We have one of the most promising QBs that almost every team in the league would love to take off of our hands, coming off major knee surgery, showing signs of returning to last season's form, and more than half of the posters on this board have already moved on and spend most of their time discussing the end of his career! It's just mindless and infuriating! They're like people who get addicted to emotional abuse. I don't even understand why, if they hate this team, its players, and the coaches so much, they would continue to follow this team! I honestly wish they would find another passion. I'm tired of them pissing on the cornflakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Right on, TD Riggo. Been a fan since I was 6, and it won't stop now, believe me. But critique is what we do here, and so far this season, we're having "issues" because of what we all saw last season: playoffs. I'm hoping RGIII returns to last season's form. I would presume we all are. But that'll never stop ES from hashing out what we saw, thought we saw, or wanted to see. We're all just a little crazy right now...winning makes us alot crazy, and you know this~ Hail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who thought he'd immediately return to 2012 form in week one or two is a moron. Add to that, we have (1) rookies at defensive back who are still finding their way, and (2) we have a new special teams coach who has a different philosophy after 8 years of Danny Smith.
