On top of that, both Shanny's don't let him run as much as last year


Jesus Christ. Uhhhh, do you enjoy watching him play football? If so then you'd be thanking them.

It's just his second year. Everyone shite on Cam and look where he's taking the Panthers?


Cam's talent jumps off the TV screen and punches you/us in the face. Until this year...and he still hasn't convinced me...he's very much so underperformed. I'm rooting for him to put everything together because he's gonna be absolutely amazing to watch it he does.

I've had a very negative opinion of RG3 for a while. Not his game, his character. I think his character is slowly rubbing people wrong, if my original thoughts are true. The guy is young and had miles and Miles still to go before he becomes the man he'll be known as and still has TONS of potential in football. We'll just have to wait and see.

Na I just think he doesn't want the label. Wants to be a thrower before a runner. Not only do they not call designed runs for him, but he doesn't seem interested in running.

Even last night, there were several times he could have run on his own. IE stepping up in the pocket, but instead tried to make a tough throw.

He's an attention whore and a douche bag who throws his teammates and coaches under the bus. Otherwise, he's cool.

To be honest, they are probably being quite tame.

His OL is meh but he has had a good running game to support him.

Griffin hasn't figured out how to handle the blitz, he has no composure in the pocket.

How can you watch the game last night and say Griffin isn't a bad QB? It's very clear to me, IMO.

They'd be better off with Cousins.

He needs to either STFU completely (which won't happen), or use the type of bland language when talking to the media that doesn't come off looking like he's blaming his teammates.

Honestly, to me, he seems like a guy that's use to things being easy for him, and he really doesn't know how to react.

he acts like a little bitch in post game pressers.

I heard his dad was in the locker room after the loss last night so he could cry into his shoulder.

I've been in the D.C./Northern Virginia area for 40 years and have never been a 'Skins fan. But I like RGIII. The Shanahans are destroying his future.

Playing him last season bordered on criminal. This year they shouldn't allow him to play the running/scrambling game he plays. The guy isn't 100%.

As a Raiders fan, I've never been a Shanahan fan from his Denver days. I don't care whether he stays or goes. I think that he and Snyder are perfect for one another. It's the fans that are up in arms. Being 3-8 isn't helping him.

He was a complete bitch in college. He came to Stillwater his last two years and talked shite each time before then got beat by 30+ each game. After the games he always blamed others and never owned up to sucking in the game. Just like what he is doing this year.

The guy can't read a defense for shite, gets panicked and takes off running. That's not an offense, it's Pop Warner football.

He's incapable of checking down through his progressions to find the short, safety throw, throwing the ball away, getting out of bounds before getting hit when he does run or sliding when he can't make it to the sideline. He's a mess.

And despite these FACTS, he's got an ego the size of the Washington Monument, a phony "good guy" image that is slowly being revealed, and no one in his family or management team/posse to tell him "no."

As for not being "100%" - whose fault is that? He, his daddy and Team RGIII spent all the off season on a PR blitz intended to draw attention to himself and portray him as "tough" and "all in" and a great "leader" because he wanted to play the first week of the season. He essentially dared Shanahan to try and sit him for the first few weeks of the season and let him continue to heal. This same ego and hard head helped get him injured - and then injured even more - at the end of last year.

The Native Americans screwed this whole deal up - he's not a franchise QB and wasn't worth the pics they gave up to get him.

And while I'm not a fan of Shanahan, it's sad to see him choose to protect and tolerate a douche like RG Diva III to try to save his job.

I somewhat agree with this. Not that he's the only one, but he does act in a way that he's the only player worth a shite and every bad play/game wasn't his fault

Trent Dilfer won a championship. Did you want him to be QB of your team?

Back on topic, RG3 deserves all the hate he gets. He soaked it in and wanted the limelight when he was being praised, now he has the other sude of the coin.
