I want those assholes caught, jailed, tried, sentenced, and imprisoned. Nope not yet. But a $10,000 award has been offered by the police for any information leading to their arrest and conviction. BRob needs to increase that amount by $40k. I am sure he can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the Commanders need to increase the amount. That the organization has not already done it is more proof of the lack of class in this franchise's owner.

They need to put up 100K then at least! Edited September 3, 2022 by zCommander 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnySideUp Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) I am perfectly content to let them take as much time as he needs to recover fully and not rush him back. I also firmly believe that when he does return, he will duplicate Clinton Portis's first regular season game with the Commanders i.e., he got the ball on the first play from scrimmage in the game and took it right straight into the end zone. Well, we can always hope. It was such a great start to a great NFL career in Washington for Portis and I'm hoping for the same for B Rob.

CommanderCarson Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 He’s going to become a lot of fans favorite player if he comes back and looks anything like he did in the pre season when it counts. Rooting for him big time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rook Please PLEASE tell me you don’t actually think that’s proof of the lack of class in the Snyder just because he’s not upping an amount that it’s not his place to do so….. Snyder should be **** on for plenty of things. This? **** no. And I HOPE you actually know this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Robinson and not the Commanders. This is not the wild wild west with vigilante justice. The police need to find these people and lock them up. The team is not in the law enforcement business. It's not their responsibility to get involved in any way. They shouldn't get involved. This is a law enforcement thing. I searched, and I couldn't even find a place where it was lawful for a private organization or individual to offer a reward for information in an ongoing investigation. I'm not entirely sure it can be done legally. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I've never really been impressed by Gibson, but by no means is he a bad RB. He can handle being our #1 until BRob is healthy, I'm not worried about that in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I think as long as they don't suddenly pull back whatever Gibson's new role was going to be, and instead let the other RBs be the traditional RB by committee for a month that is the best bet.

HoggLife Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I dont understand the hate for Gibson. He was a project RB that has put up good numbers. Yes he has a fumbling problem. But lots of running backs have and have fixed it. I'd love for Robinson to get healthy ans be our #1 back. But doesn't mean we need to hate Gibson. Without Gibson we would be seriously hurting at RB right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything we WANT him to be put in the absolute best position to succeed and produce, that’s the opposite of hate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Gibson we would be seriously hurting at RB right now. I have zero hate for him. I think he has a very dynamic skillset that hasn't yet been realized on the field with the exception of some glimpses, because the coaches seemed intent to convert him to a RB instead of using him in a way that best utilizes his strengths. BRob taking over as the traditional RB should actually be seen on a plus for Gibson. Edited September 5, 2022 by NoCalMike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't think he's going to be the starting RB, or at least get the most carries. I think Jonathan Williams is going to get the first down carries. Gibson is going to be used like they were going to use him before BRob got shot. And they are going to sub Williams in for BRob. Who might do pretty well in that role. I also think they are going to rely more on Wentz and the passing game. I would bet good money they will not put the team on Gibson's back and ask him to carry the load. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don’t have a lot of confidence in this coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
