RG3: "Boy Emperor"

From the Washington Post...

Will Robert Griffin III help or hurt the next Redskins coach?

 

Previous Washington Redskins coaches only had to deal with one divisive influence at the top of the franchise. Now there are two. The next head coach will have to cope not just with owner-supremo Daniel Snyder’s interference, but with the added complication of a 23-year-old boy emperor who believes he can dictate everything from the play-calling to what’s served at training table.

 

 

Once, Griffin was an immensely likable, unpretentious kid who was wide open to collaboration. But according to insiders, Griffin’s public campaign to have the offense altered for him was just the tip of his egotism in his second year. Behind closed doors, Griffin had fierce finger-pointing tensions with his wide receivers, and he bragged to teammates that he could procure favors from the owner and influence the franchise’s direction.

 

 

Try winning with a quarterback who has alienated his receivers and members of the offensive line. Any head coaching candidate has to be concerned about the locker room bad blood we all saw evidence of this season. Griffin sat on the ground after sacks and no one helped him up. We all heard, too, Pierre Garcon’s barely contained anger, and Santana Moss’s remarkable public lecture that Griffin needed to quit blaming others and take responsibility for his own failures. It was a significant break with protocol and suggested how badly relationships had eroded; players almost always feel duty-bound to support their quarterback.

 

Seriously hope McDermott doesn't get this job.

But the article asks a valid question.

 

How is a coach supposed to have any authority when the quarterback can just "run to daddy"?

 

Oh yea, no doubt it comes down to RG3

 

That is why they need a coach to bitch slap him and tell him to sit the fug down and shut the fug up

 

And Snyder needs to be hands fuging off, if RG3 is benched so be it

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By strato · Posted

      I think it is a perspective thing.   For Bryce, have people forgotten how utterly horrible he was into year two?  I think some have.   I am not a numbers guy but I hear tell that his numbers were historically poor.   He was incrementally better 2nd half of year two and that takes you to 2025.  He had  actual acceptable performances at times in 2025. Which is a whole lot better than historically bad but not necessarily even league average when you can’t cherry pick just those good days.     I don’t know what about CJ. At this point I’d have to say I would be very concerned about him because it may now be in his head.   I still think CJ is the better QB but maybe not if he can’t put the dysfunction behind him.

      The thing is, Stroud's needle has been moving down where Young's has been moving up. Situationally, most would give the nod to Stroud over each of their tenures, so overall most are going to be more critical of him at the moment.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By TD alt · Posted

      Actually we like to run more than most, and the dropoff isn't that drastic. We seem to be pretty much middle of the road. The Facons, Bucs, Browns and Bengals are the ones where running drops off markedly when they start trailing. Our line on the chart, like I said, is somewhat middle of the road.  As to whether or not if it's good or bad is anyone's guess by looking at this. I suspect people who like Old school football won't be upset at this at all. The thing is, we would have to know the game scripts and the situations, as running and or passing making sense is contextual. I know that I haven't necessarily been enamored with Canales's situational play calling. At the end of the day, I believe in using the run to set up the pass and the pass to set up the run, and trying to keep the opposition off balance, but I still believe that you should run it down their throats if they can't stop it.
