RGIII: "Media trying to Character Assassinate Me"

I waited a couple days before I posted this but felt I needed to share wit you guys since it hasn't hit the National media:

 

 

http://thebiglead.com/2013/11/24/mike-silver-rgiii-asked-the-redskins-not-to-show-his-bad-plays-in-film-study/

 

 

“Inside the building, we talked to people familiar with the situation, they perceive RGIII as kind of insecure, specifically about Kirk Cousins, which may be one reason he (RGIII) was so eager to rush back. At Baylor (University), they didn’t put RGIII’s bad plays up on the board in the meeting rooms. Sources familiar with the situation say he has asked the Redskins to do the same. They have refused to up to this point.”

 

After this story broke on Sunday afternoon, and then the piss-poor effort on Monday Night Football by the Skins,

this story came out after his press conference in reference to the above story:

RGIII - "People are trying to character assassinate me and that's unfortunate."

 

 

I just felt like this is so humerous because what the media has done with him is all self inflicted. The media has raked Cam over the coals for 3 years and only recently have shed a positive light on him- Oh, it only took and 8-game win streak to do so.. but RGIII is such a media darling it makes me laugh but makes me upset after the stuff he has done to himself and then wants to play victim.

Man up, RG.  Go out there and silence your critics.  It's what Cam did.  Cam went through much more than this dude did, and I don't remember him crying "the media is trying to character assassinate me."  Although unfair, he took his licks and has so far silenced the haters.  Now, I see why some call him RG ME.

If it weren't for stat padding against prevent defenses this year when getting blown out RG3's stats would be abysmal.

I think he will have a good year next year if he doesn't get hurt again. But this s year he has been bad. Not just a slump, but really, really bad

Cam didn't once play victim. He took his lumps, played through it, Earned his C patch (unlike rookie Bob3 who was gifted it) and look at Cam now. Lil Bob is definitely gettining Cammed right now, but he's doing nothing to help his image by crying about it.

    • 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
