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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
