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.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
