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.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
