Twitter: Wow, Pete Prisco is an *******!

[mistertim]

I commented on Pete's Twitter. He posted: "@SI_JimTrotter @clarencehilljr It's called playing from the pocket. Last QB who ran around who won a Super Bowl was .. waiting?"

I replied: Young, Elway, & Rodgers

No no no. Those guys are white so they "extend plays with their legs". RG3 "runs around".

[Idaho fan]

I don't get it.. some people just can't give RGIII and the Skins credit... They drool over the Giants but then we beat them and its spin time. Luck throws 3 picks and has a 1 to 1 turn over TD ratio and he is brilliant for coming back to win (even though in large part they had to come back because of those turn overs). RGIII and the Skins play a hard fought game. Smart play calling. Good throws/runs when needed and the talk is criticizing how we won?

Colin Cowherd who actually picked the Skins to win goes on and on how RGIII and this simplified Baylor offense will get figured out. I don't think he realizes that this pistol offense formation isn't much different than what has been ran for years. He also claims that our Defense is superior to that of the Colts lol. Im not making this into a Luck Vs RG comment.. but I just don't get why all people see are RGs runs? Do they close their eyes during all those deep passes?

apparently the guy never watched john elway

Prisco is acting like an ###, but he's just one of many who have not yet figured out that RG3 is NOT your standard athletic QB.

Gruden nailed it last night. There has never been another QB like him before.

Good points in here...Griffin is being used perfectly right now. Some of it is out of necessity because our OL can't just pass block for 4-5 seconds. As our OL improves, we can run a more traditional Shanahan offense. Having said that, we are running the same plays we ran last year, just from the pistol so I don't see why it HAS to change. I haven't seen one thing that Griffin can't do well. He struggles with accuracy OCCASIONALLY (like, 2x per game, if that) but who doesn't?

He's the complete package and I believe he can evolve with his skill set. Ten years from now, I think he can be a full-time pocket passer and be great at it. We're in great shape! Keeping picking against us Petey.

People forget Joe Montana was a very mobile guy who used his legs. When the 49ers beat Dan Marinos Dolphins in 1984 (I think it was) Montana ran for about 60 yards and a TD.

It's too bad, the guy is actually a decent handicapper but yeah, he's always been a shameless Homer for NY

Obviously the dude is suffering from hate poisoning...

Tell me one OL in the NFL that can pass block for 4-5 seconds?

NE. They can be up and down sometimes but when they're on they are on. I've seen Brady sit back there bouncing around for at least 4 or 5 seconds before passing the ball multiple times this year.

I think some of it just comes down to straight up intellectual laziness. Some non Skins fans see (or hear about, as I've been convinced by comments from other fan bases that they haven't actually sat down and watched him play a game) a QB who is an extremely gifted athlete who is very fast and can pick up yards with his legs if need be and their brains immediately default to "Oh, a running QB. Been there, done that" without taking the time to see what a superb passer he is.

The longer people believe RGIII is just a gimmick the better. Thats how you lose a playoff game to Tim Tebow.

Love Jim Trotter from Sports Illustrated, who has three times more followers than Prisco and has been verified by Twitter, telling him to "please, just stop."

[Mr. Sinister]

I look forward to seeing more of this as the weeks go on. It means that we're winning.

More winning, more spinning... and some of these guys can spin real good.

[skinsfan07]

You are absoltely right. I honestly believe that most of the "ANALysts" think that way. It's a damn shame. But let's keep race out of it and bask in this NY Homer's hate!

[Probos]

Jeeez,...Twitter is the worst.

Oh,..and Prisco seems to be quite the A-hole.
