Maybe they should try to get some pieces around him like a true running back……..

Seriously? A true running back? Not sure what season you were watching but Alfred Morris is the best RB we have had since John Riggins, and dont you even think about coming back and say how about Portis. Portis was a clown and a serviceable back at best. Morris ran for more yards (1613)as a rookie than Portis did (1519)in any year in his career. Next time check your stats before you make a statement about a topic you know nothing about.

As soon as his cleats catch on a upheaved patch of dirt while moving laterally, and those ligaments are toast.

The Redskins have no cap, no draft picks, and limited talent with a few stars. They mortgaged the future on a QB with a playing style that makes him susceptible to injury, and then force him to play on one of the most dangerous fields in the league. They may be competitive this year but without an ability to restock their talent, this team could suffer for quite a while.

What a waste of talent.

Worst Team in Maryland! World Champions with 12 draft picks and an ELITE QB gonna dominate the NFL landscape in the DMV for sometime. Redskins fans will still be able dream about what if RG3 stayed healthy and how good their franchise was until it was taken over by an evil little troll.

How “elite” is Flacco w/o Boldin?

I dont watch the Ravens much – saw them loose to the Redskins and saw the SB — but Boldin made Flacco the QB he is — Bolding caught the balls that had no business being complete and prevented interceptions.

Just an observation. Shanahan is 100% correct. RG3 needs to learn how to slide and use the sideline better. And he will. I’m sure he will watch a lot of tape of the youngster in Seattle (Wilson). Who is an expert at the run-pass-slide. RG3 and Shanahan are risk takers. Both just need to be a tad better with it. If they do they will laugh all the way to a few Championships together IMO.

Your QB has a responsibility to keep himself safe and you have a responsibility to keep your players safe. Reminds me of the time you put Terrell Davis back in a game when he had a migraine so intense he could not see.

Mike Tomlin and Uncle Dick already have the read option figured out. I hope you enjoyed watching last year. The blueprint will be out this season!

Yes, the blueprint is to have the receivers set an NFL record for dropped passes in a game, with most of them negating first downs and killing drives. Genius! Why didn’t anyone else think of that? Actually RG3 played a hell of a game against Pitt but you can’t beat a good team with that many drops. I love all the hate my team is getting now, it’s proof that we’re back. As bad as the Cowboys and Eagles suck, nobody talks about them anymore…because they aren’t good and they aren’t entertaining. Hatas gonna hate I guess…

Most of the posters hating here probably never watched more than 3 or 4 games of the Redskins this year. They are simply haters. RG3 hits were a result of him being a rookie. It was his one major rookie flaw. Most rookie QBs usually struggle with the speed of the game and reading defenses in the NFL. RG3′s lack of NFL experience led him to take needless shots. Instead of sliding, he’d take a hit. He needs to realize that he’s not getting tackled or hit by a underweight kid right out of high school anymore. He’s gonna get hit by men who are the best at what they do. As he matures, I’m sure he’ll be much more aware and more smart in regards to sliding.

He better learn how to slide and cover his head when Chip Kellys new hybrid 3-4 11 headed defensive monster blitz comes hunting this fall. That one legged QB is in for a world of hurtin.

====================

Philly will last in the division again. Kelly and his 11 man blitz will get burned in the NFL. Only college coach to do well as head coach in the NFL is Pete Carroll. Even though I cant stand him. Fk up USC then leave. Class act. Kelly will be like Nick Saban. He should have stayed in the NCAA.

How about Jammal Charles? Heck Peterson almost broke the all time rushing record in NFL history, and Charles was overlooked, but had a very good season and next year will be a stud again. RGIII is man enough, physical and dedicated enough to make fools of all you haters. Sorry we have him and you dont….just isnt fair is it!!!…Go ahead and wish him finished and he will prove all of you wrong. His arm is actually stronger than more accurate than the rest of the NFL qb’s, so dont go jackin off just yet on RGIII being done. It’s the 36 million that the league stole through collution that is the biggest problem for the Redskins. Is Goodell the chief in thief or is Obama part of the NFL Elite now?

Completion percentage, Yards throwing and running, and touchdown to interception ratio.

Do you know what a complete QB is? Its funny how some of you (I realize some of you are kids or dont really o anything about the game outside of media reports) act as the fact that RGIII can run is bad. Its a plus. What Shanny is talking about is RGIII needing to learn how to better protect himself, inside the pocket and out side the pocket. He needs to temper his competitive drive in some instances and be smarter in how he competes. THATS IT!!! Every young QB goes through that, didnt Steve Young tell you all this last year on TV….wow.

Stop hating, the young man is a talent that you would love to have on your team….

Too bad they destroyed his career before he had that chance. And for what … a pitiful one-and-done playoff performance. Worst NFC East champion ever. Total disgrace.

Once the read option goes the way of the wild cat, we will see just how great RGIII really is. Danta Culpper was seen in the same light, until the torn knee trifecta ended all that. IF RGIII comes back to full strength, he needs to learn to be a picket passer and run when NECESSARY, not because the coach wants to make him the running game.
The ONLY way RGIII is going to become one of the best in the NFL is if Snyder tells Shanny to use the face of the franchise the right way. Protect him and stop all the extra huts he takes in the read option.

If that doesnt happen, Griffen will be out of football by 2015.

How can you expect your QB to slide often when you are calling all of these read options or plays where RG3 becomes a WR (like in the Steelers game)?

RG3 really needs to learn to get out of bounds rather than taking unneccasary shots (Falcons, Ravens games).
