I think there’s a chance that the Redskins and their fans just might take a liking to this RG3 kid.

Let’s leave his on-field skills aside for the moment. We really won’t see that at all until the Redskins take the field against the Saints** in September and we won’t see it fully developed for another few years.

But we can see now what could make him one of the most popular athletes ever in Washington.

He gets it.

We have seen that in how he has dealt with fans and with the media. Griffin’s visit to the Pro Football Hall of Fame provided some more evidence that he is firmly grounded and respects the right things.

Jeff Darlington of NFL.com followed RG3 as he went through the hallowed halls and related a few of warm and fuzzy moments.

The first was when he stopped to look at a mannequin in an old Redskins uniform. When he realized whose uniform it was, he was appropriately awed.

“Sammy Baugh,” he said in a hushed tone.

Baugh came from Texas with much fanfare to be the team’s first quarterback after they moved from Boston. Griffin is from Texas and came here with 21st-century hype to be the team’s next quarterback.

Baugh led the Redskins to an NFL title as a rookie and is the best player in the team’s history. Griffin has yet to step on the field but he appreciates what Baugh, and other players from that era, did for the game today.

"To know what those guys did back then and had to go through to get to where we are (standing) right now, it's extremely important for us to grasp so that we can know what our identity is," Griffin told Darlington later.

Later on, Griffin looked at an exhibit of all of the Super Bowl rings awarded. A Hall of Fame employee pointed out the there were three rings there for the Redskins.

“That’s not enough rings,” said Griffin. “We’ve got to get more.”

Redskins Nation is in unanimous agreement with RG3 there and there is a growing belief that he just might be the guy to lead to way to getting a few more Lombardi’s.

Mod's can delete if needed, just realized it was posted in Football Central.

You know what aggravates me? The fact that this ass hole doesn't get called cocky, a bad teammate or nothing. But, this is one of the cockiest things I've seen a rookie ever say.

I disagree.

I am CERTAINLY not a Redskins fan and I am not buying the RG3 hype unless he proves himself in the NFL.

Having said that, I fail to see where his was being arrogant or cocky. He used the words "we" and gives off the sense of teamwork and dedication to the team that was willing to give him a chance. What is wrong with what he said? At least he did not refer to himself in the third person or say that he was going to carry the rest of the team on his shoulders. I am no fan of RG3, but I don't see anything wrong with what he said.

Text can be interpreted in various ways. If you hear him say it, you can find any pitch and tone, then determine his actual intention when saying "That's not enough rings."

Look at Cam and his interview, the one where he says he won't rest until he has that Lombardi trophy in his hands. Remember that? He didn't have a hint of cockiness when he said that. There was a hint of confidence though. Then his trademark smile.

IT all depends on how he said it (RG3). I wouldn't take this too seriously either way. He has to win the fan base now since he can't on the field at the current moment.

anyway talk is easy and cheap this time of the year

let's see how much of a rah rah guy you are down 28 in the fourth after throwing three interceptions and getting knocked down all day. it's a lesson cam had to learn too.

Yeah, my bad. I don't go in Football Central at all. But, I think Luck will have a better season and more wins then RG3. This Skins fan I know said they'll have 8 wins this year. I was like UHHHHHHHHH?

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
