probably will just be put down by many ...

I'm still expecting faster and wiser ...


H A I L

I'm expecting to see Robert Griffin clearly demonstrate that he's the best option to be the starter at QB

Awesome news.

(Split into its own thread. Actual news stories shouldn't get buried.)

umm... you don't think he already made that perfectly clear?

^^ true dat ..

I think there may be some that would like
RG3 be given some time to get completely 'healed'

and

we do not need to risk anything happening to RG3



RG3 will be starting because he's ready to play


I am excited to see a faster and better RG3 than we saw in 2012

I just hope he doesn't force it & end up having his leg fall off in week 3 cuz he wasn't truly good to go.

Then we'd be in trouble.

... and, yet, you're wondering if we should trade Cousins...


SMH...

LOL

But nah.

My next question was gong to be is Rex REALLY not a viable back up w/ our new found run game.

I'm wondering cuz I hear mumbling.

Um... you don't think the "new found run game" isn't, at least in part, due to having to constantly account for RGIII?

No... Grossman is NOT a viable back-up.

Hence my Tavaris Jackson (now moot) question.

I got the point of your Tavaris Jackson question... the problem is, NO ONE takes him as a serious passing threat, which you MUST have in order to approach the threat that is RG3... If they don't take the pass seriously, it really limits your options.

I love your modesty lol but it doesn't limit your options, it destroys the offense. The read-option like all offenses requires a real quarterback. Not a figure head. Not someone who is there by title. It requires someone who can make the reads in a timely manner, make decisions in a timely manner, protect the football and be productive within seconds of receiving the snap. Tavaris Jackson would be like having Clinton Portis at QB.

I'd love to hear the corresponding Rex analogy.

Just for kix:

Rex - 55%, 56 TD, 60 INT

Jackson - 59.4%, 38 TD, 35 INT= better arm, just as accurate, not any worse with decisions, finds open LBs almost as well, way better runner.



Of course, Rex knows the system.

"We don't have to do much except try to hold him back."

Yessir, sounds like RGIII

sounds great ..... but i hope he isnt rushing things along just to prove a point.now having said that if he is 110% for opening day by all means he should start,but if he not 100% then cousins needs to play.

next week is 8 weeks ...

I really believe that we're all going to be really pleased with what we see in the coming months

the results from using stem cells with these operations recently has been nothing short of amazing

RG3 is also benefitting from using a surgeon that performed the operation on AP a whole year before - you think things might have gotten even better in that time ...

RG3 is an olympic level athlete
AP is an incredible NFL running back - one of the best ever ... but IMO, he's not as fast or as dedicated to being the best he can be as RG3


I am really looking forward to this kid getting back on the field and helping his team

There is no doubt, ZERO chance, that RG3 will be playing in an NFL game before he's completely ready to do that

AND

I would be stunned if he is not the starting QB on day 1 and I'm expecting him to be faster and a whole lot more dangerous as a QB this season

Now if only they could use stem cells to fix the concussion issue, we might still be able to save the NFL as we once knew it.

Loving the good news, but isn't this the same doctor that cleared him to play in the 2Q of the playoff game vs. Seattle? I'll take his words with a grain of salt.

Listen, don't read into ANYTHING anyone says about RG3 and that leg.

Seriously don't because I think it's better to not even think about it and just let it happen or else you'll go crazy.

Honestly, Im tired of hearing about it.
