RG3 Tweets

[RichmondRedskin88]

I see only one possible way to justify Shanahan's decision to let RGIII play - seeing RGIII responsible for success of Redskins to the point where he cannot overrule RGIII if RGIII wants to play.

Well then our coach was on vacation part of the Ravens game and the entire Browns game.

you don't have a problem with RGIII saying to his coach he is fine? I do. The correct information is paramount whether you are playing a football game, making investments, or risking your life in battle. RGIII flat out lied to his coach. i love the kid but if I were Mike i would have a very long talk with him in the off season.

He didn't lie to his coach. He told him he is hurting buy not totally injured - yet! Yet is the operative word here. Until he goes down he is not coming out. I have a lot of respect for a player who is going to fight to the end. This kind of attitude should have been shown by other players on the team that were not pulling their weight and should have.

Anyone that thinks Griffin hurt the team or was selfish has never played a high level sport or been a top athlete. Period. You don't take yourself out and you do everything possible to get on the field and stay on the field at the top level. And even so, the guy earned the right to play if he felt he could go who are any of us to take that chance away from him. The team elected him captain because they believe he gives us the best chance to win. Period. So sick of this.

Well, he might not have been being selfish in his intentions but ultimately, him staying in DID hurt the team.

Two important turnovers happened because of his knee...

1. The pass to Garcon should have been thrown further but RG3 simply couldn't put his legs into the throw. Result: underthrown ball and interception

2. The botched snap, RG3 collapsed, leaving the ball on the grass. Result: Seahawks get the ball right outside the endzone. Easy 7 points to seehawks.


I mean we might've done better just punting the ball as soon as we got posession on every posession after we were up 14-0.


Not saying it was RG3s fault for not pulling himself out but objectively speaking, the fact that he was not pulled out (by himself, the coach, whoever) DID hurt the team.

This will be a great test for him. Lots of people questioning him right now on a national stage, something I'm sure he's not used to

He will learn from this experience and come out stronger

I just hope:

1) His knee is ok and there is no lasting damage. Would hate for a bright career to be cut short so quickly based on this game.
2) Playcalling evolves so that he can utilize his other great skills and rely less on run-option. Only way to increase chances that he survives in this league without getting killed.

I'm worried less about the mental aspects and maturity. I feel confident that he will learn from all mistakes and be able to handle media criticism, both that which is warranted and that which is not.

simply awesome

[bird_1972]

Also, I don't believe it's RG3's ultimate call whether or not he plays. The final decision rests with Mike Shannahan and if he didn't pull him out of the game when he should have, that falls on him, not RG3.

He is classy and I look forward to him being our quarterback and leader for a long time. He gives me more hope than I have had in years!

[Unforgiven]

Yeah, I liked his second tweet much better. Not that I had some issue with the first other than I knew a lot of people would take it the wrong way.

Hoping for good news today about his knee (not an ACL...please..).

Seattle only got a field goal from that fumble.

And made three quarters of the game tough to watch. You saw it coming, a slow motion lose. Damn. Next year.

What if he pulls himself out of the game and then Cousins throws picks and turns it over? Would we then be saying he hurt the team by sitting?

Can't have it both ways.

@RGIII really? What about us that have, should we just say nothing

I guess Warren Sapp doesn't know what terms such as "many" and "few" mean.

[Tom [Giants fan]]

I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to RGIII and how I feel about him.

Love - the way he plays the game and not matter what, is willing to stay in and play through what was obviously a lot of pain.

Hate - the fact the Giants have to play him twice a year

I hope he is okay
