Toe Jam Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yeah, it definitely sounds like all his teammates hate him. http://www.csnwashington.com/football-washington-redskins/talk/rg3-voted-redskins-ed-block-courage-award-recipient Robert Griffin III has been named the Redskins’ 2013 Ed Block Courage Award recipient as voted by his teammates, the team announced Tuesday afternoon. The honor is given annually to a player on each of the league’s 32 teams for showing “extraordinary courage in the face of adversity.” Griffin, of course, returned from surgery on the ACL and LCL in his right knee in only eight months and was the team’s starter in Week 1. “It’s an honor to be selected by my teammates to receive this award,” Griffin III was quoting as saying in a statement. “I received a tremendous amount of support throughout the rehab process from my teammates, the doctors, the trainers and everyone involved in the organization.” “This award is not only a testament to how hard I worked to return, but also a testament to the support system I’ve had around me for the last 12 months,” Griffin continued. “I’m grateful for their hard work and support and look forward to preparing for the 2014 season.” Athletic trainer Larry Hess also praised Griffin’s perseverance and work ethic. “Robert’s commitment this offseason helped him fully recover from a major knee surgery,” Hess said in a statement. “His passion and dedication toward his profession motivated him throughout this process and made working with him enjoyable. He is well deserving of this award.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Clearly he used his influence with the owner to give himself the award. RGme could never win it with a legit vote. /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 But, but his teammates hate him and he is selfish and doesn't thank others. That's what the Post keeps telling me 1 year after building him up. How can this be? Seriously though, congrats RG3. That was a big thing to overcome.

nemocystem Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 This thread is so much win. Cuz surely his teammates would vote for him if they hated him. Clearly this could only have happened if he pulled some strings with Mr. Snyder. :: grabs popcorn :: Waiting to see the supremely logical reputations sure to come. This thread is so much win.

AsburySkinsFan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Obviously the only reason his teammates voted for him was in fear that RGMe would arrange to get them fired. /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm ready to turn the page on this season. This kid is fantastic and he deserves to get some kudos. Not an ideal season and not the best decisions by him, but at his core he is a fantastic young man. Hopefully we get a quiet and hard working offseason out of him. Congrats, number 10.

TradeTheBeal! Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The players know it takes a lotta guts to be a self-absorbed, conceited diva. They voted with their conscience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I don't get bothered by the RGIII haters because all I have to do is look back at Peyton Manning's first season in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrelgreenie Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 They obviously voted him the Ed Block Courage Award recipient because if they didn't Griffin would have Danny tell Bruce to cut them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Clearly he talked Dan into giving him this award, then turned around to Alfred and simply sad "whut i say ..?" Well done, my franchise QB deserves nothing less ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Maybe this is the trade off? We award you, but you don't get to pick Briles as your HC. (Copyright the ES masses.). Congrats kid. After the season you've just endured, and the slanderous, disgraceful end to it, you deserve a boost. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Congrats to Griff. Dude went through some rough stuff this year. Hopefully he comes out of it a better man, and a better player. See you in the summer, my man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sekhmet187 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 So all the guys bashing Griffin are conveniently avoiding this thread? I'll imagine they avoid it completely and ignore it in other threads where they bash him and say his teammates hate his me first attitude. Its good to see that all the BS surrounding him and claims that his teammates don't like him were bogus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSO Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Congrats, Robert! I'm sure being one year removed from that awful, miserable injury that caused everything to spiral down hill is a great feeling for him. Can't wait to see him come TC/Preseason!
