This is the first time I have been disappointed in RGIII

[mudhog]

We saw early in the thire quarter that RGIII wasn't getting it done. I don't want to get into the bricks with this, but it was on RGIII to take himself out at that point. He couldn't move, he couldn't set and throw and he just left too much on his shoulders that didn't have to be there had he given the green light to Cousins, to come in and compete.

Not being a hater and I don't think I will come across that way. Just stating what everyone in the room THOUGHT a winner like RGIII would do. We thought he would not let ego take over a decision that was so obvious. Please let me know how you feel.

Doughty was a beast though. Gotta love the Doughty.

Leaders and gamers don't take themselves out.

He's the Captain. And the Captain doesn't take himself out while he can still stand.

It's Shanahan's job to take him out. He's the coach. Players will always want to play.

As a starting QB if you are walking and you arm is good then you are playing. You go to the Coach and ask to come out you might never play again and this Seahawks secondary is the BEST in the NFL. Let me repeat, they are the BEST IN THE NFL. Cousins comes in and throws a couple picks and we would be distributing the razor blades.

Eh... I think it's good for a captain to not show weakness like that. Qbs get called nasty things (think Jay Cutler) when they do. I do think Shanahan should have pulled him.

I hate to say it but I disagree with this.

[DM72]

Shanahan should have made the decision for RG3 and pulled him.

[hawgboy]

As long as he's back to win another day, I'll live with it.

This.

[HooHog]

Winners don't pull themselves. That's the coach's job.

[STBonecrusher21]

Its never up to the player to decide whats good for the team.

So the name on the back of the jersey is more important than the one on the front of it?

Wow.

Totally wrong dude. it takes a leader to know if there is someone that might do a better job.

I don't want my franchise QB thinking he's not the best chance for his team to win the game.

And if he pulls himself out at halftime and Cousins ****s the bed in the second half, he gets called soft and a coward.
