RG3 Blames Poor Performance from last year on Ankle Injury

"The biggest thing for me is coming back healthy. Last year I wasn't healthy, and it sucked, there's no other way to say it other than that. When you get broken and dragged home in the second week of the season ... When you and your team have big things in mind ... It's just getting healthy, getting the mental break, getting a chance to spend time with family, and then formulate my plan going forward for this year, and go ahead and win games and be playing again at this time next year." 

More on dealing with the ankle injury: "I had never suffered an ankle injury to that severity before, so I didn't know what to expect. And it just became harder and harder with the more games we lost, because you know how hard the guys work, and you want to get out there and help them win games. 

"I could have sat out the rest of last year with as bad as the ankle was, but I felt like I could play, and I wanted to get out there and play with my guys and help them win games. And that didn't happen when I got back out there, and coach made a decision. And that was an unfortunate decision, and something we all had to go with, because that was coach's choice. But at the end of the day I got to go back out there with my guys, we had a little bit of fun, we beat Philadelphia and the season didn't close the way we wanted it to, but we all know what we can do and we gotta go out there and do it, and there's nothing that we can say that's going to change what happened last year."

I literally have never seen an athlete use excuses like this for his poor performance.  Cam does this, he would get destroyed.

RGIII sucks. He's always makes excuses. He's soft. Always taking the blame, and that may be a humble thing to do. But if you don't change it for the better in this league, you're toast. The league is a vicious cycle of raw talent and young guys. You can't be the nice guy all the time and expect that to save your ass forever. Nut up.

And if you think RG3 gets a pass from whoever is interested in destroying Cam then you don't pay attention to football.

RG3 was consistently destroyed by the media and even his own coach last season. It's time to drop that the whole world is against Cam shtick. It's stale

 

 

the difference is RG deserves every bit of criticism thrown his way...hell he was partically crowned after his rookie season

RG3 does talk too much but Cam also gets a lot of the same hype. RG3 deserved the hype he got after his rookie season just like Cam. Cam had more passing yds and rushing TDs but RG3's game was cleaner; just 5 INT. I've heard his fan base describe it as the best rookie season by a QB.

Anyways, no one is out to destroy Cam. When he plays well he gets a ton of praise, when he plays bad he gets criticized, same with all QB. I mean the media was calling for the GOAT Brady to be benched at the beginning of the season.

    • 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
