All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
With the news that the Washington Redskins are planning on benching Robert Griffin III in favor of Colt McCoy, Gregg Rosenthal examines what the future might hold for the former No. 2 overall pick.
i hope not. he loves himself a little too much and appears to be too sensitive to criticism in addition to the fact that he kinda sucks. (at least since his rookie year)
"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
a lot depends on how orton ends the season. if he does well and can avoid the major lackluster games like kc and the fish hes gonna be the starter next year. if he doesnt then its gonna be an open competition next summer and they will be looking at trying to upgrade the candidates
if they could possibly get rg3 without giving up picks id say they have to try. taking a risk on him at this point is no worse than taking a risk on another rookie

I think that cur, Shanahan, really stuck it to him when he played him despite recovering from serious injury. And now he seems gun shy.

I would give him a shot for a low pick. He's not expensive, he's young, and he's still physically capable of playing QB position. He's the exact type of project QB I would be looking for in the late rounds anyway.
I'm not so sure about that, and even if that's true, he can't seem to play two consecutive games without missing six or more with an injury.
I think people are overstating his injuries. He's only missed 5 games in his career due to injury, fewer than Aaron Rodgers over the same span. Hell, it's fewer than EJ Manuel and he's played an extra year. By contrast, he's probably played in games where he should have sat.
He's missing time because he's been benched, and deserves criticism for that. But I think people are treating him like Roscoe Parrish the QB and it's a little mistaken.
He still has lingering effects from his knee injuries 2 years ago, that was very apparent last year and I don't know how much it's affecting him this year. The other thing is Gruden is trying to turn him into a pocket passer which isn't the type of player he is.
Have him run the read option, call rollouts, move the pocket and you'll go back to rookie year performance RGIII.

**** the read option. If he can't be a pocket passer, then he can't be an NFL Quarterback.
