RG3 Benched

And we think Cam has been hung out to dry this season. Don't even like RG3 but Gruden has schemed against him at every possible opportunity.

RG3 brought this on himself with a combination of consistent yapping and bad play.

Aside that, QBs can go bad in a heartbeat, Vince Young, Josh Freeman and now RG3. Even see Cam's regression since the CIN game. Most fans are however blindly in love with their star QBs and they are always the last to give up on or blame when things go bad. Heck some fans are still calling for Tim T3bow.

gruden doesn't run a gimmicky offense.

 

i think the injury played a role but i also think he just isn't very good.

 

Quite possible... but my point was he seemed to do pretty good that first season before the knee thing... they made the palyoffs didn't they?

 

Could be that his mobility is limited now which takes away a lot of what made him a good QB.

yup i think that has a lot to do with it.

 

very gimmicky offense his rookie year. gruden is making him sit in the pocket and he's struggling, although his o-line sure as poo doesn't help

He really might have been a one read quarterback his rookie season.  I watched a bunch of his games in 2012 and it seemed like he would hit his back foot on his drop and the ball would be out of his hands instantly.  Lots of screens and dink and dunk stuff.  His short range accuracy was really, really good so that kind of West Coast system fit him like a glove.  The Redskins also had a monster rushing attack to lean on that season too.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
