I think we had a poll about this about a month and half ago.

totally agree

Mike & Kyle will tailor the offense to suit RG3

Start HIM. He will get reps and learn from the other RG3 during PRE SEASON

Given RG3's obvious intelligence, his humble attitude, his strong work ethic AND his competitiveness, the only reason he wouldn't be starting day one, would be because the OC has failed miserably in the process to get him ready.

Given the status of the position, RG3 NEEDS to be the starter ... which is different than "has to be".

But no other excuses are valid or reasonable ...

O-LINE - RG3 immediately makes the o-line better because of his ability to extend plays with his athleticism

NFL SPEED .. the NFL will need more time to prepare for RG3's speed, than he needs to adjust to the speed of the NFL.

WHEN MIKE THINKS HE IS READY - Mike will think he's ready day one because he knows that rookie QB's need to be on the field to work through those rookie mistakes ... it's the only way they can learn, aside from an extended amount of time in a backup role, usually reserved for project type QBs. This is not a "project" QB .... this is a high talent franchise level QB that needs to be playing through those growing pains, and the pressure will be on to get him playing at the highest level as quickly as possible.

No matter whether he starts game 1 or game 8, he's still got to work through those growing pains as a rookie, so there is no reason to delay the process by having him sit. If he doesn't have full command of the entire playbook by opening day, you put him out there with the portion he's comfortable with, and add to it, week to week.

HaiL,

We play the Saints in the first game.

Modifying my response... "Yes". There are no vets worthy of functioning as models for him in a live game. He will learn more quickly by making his own mistakes. This kid is not so fragile that a few mental errors or sacks are going to mess up his mind.

HaiL,

1: They play the Saints.
2: The only move the Cowboys could have made that would have concerned me regarding their preparation for Griffin would have been Michael Barron. Oops...
3: The Beagles will have improved line play. It won't help.

The Saints have no coach, by game one the coach's replacement will be replaced, they are still facing player suspensions

TtiT used our pick on a CB

I thought the dream team made a lot of great offseason moves...... then I woke up

Of course you can...

You'd be wrong... (I hope... ) but YES, YOU CAN!

Regardless... I suddenly feel better about what we will do if Griffin gets hurt... Wow... Bonus... if he shows something when he gets his chances, he becomes a commodity...

You mean because quality quarterbacks grow on trees and we can pick one up any time we like? You win by drafting talent, not for position. A quality guy was there, we don't have that much depth at QB that keeping him is an issue, we grabbed him. It was the right thing to do.

We still have defensive needs at linebacker and in the secondary. At least four respected cornerback prospects were still on the board when we picked Cousins.......Coastal Carolina’s Josh Norman, Georgia’s Brandon Boykin, Nebraska’s Alfonzo Dennard and Iowa State’s Leonard Johnson. Alabama safety DeQuan Menzie was also still available.

We need defensive help but our priorities are somewhere else.

cowboykillerzRGiii · Post by **cowboykillerzRGiii** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 6:27 pm

Did you not follow free agency? We have an abundance of dbs added oline help and grabbed a good qb to battle rexy. If he looks good in preseason we have trade bait for next years draft or other players in rex or clausin. Beet case we trade rex for a fourth rounder and move on w young talent.
Rgiii is the guy right now. Should he get hurt you would rather the turn over machine? Think long and hard.
Id bet he wasn't expected to be around in the fourth but took best player available/ best value since he was.
Once again a great reason why fans aren't in the fo clalling the shots.
