The Seahawks don't use that much read option do they? And citing the 49ers, well, that's just weird, since they're trying to see how quickly they can take a very good situation and turn it into a Snyder level dumpster bonfire in as short of time as possible.
Still blows my mind about them dumping Harbaugh. Seems like he was doing an amazing job of holding together a team that had serious fucking issues.
Actually that brings up a point. RGIII's best hope would be to emulate Alex Smith. He's got the physical tools to accomplish that (and actually be better I think), and he's a smart guy, but I don't know if he has the attitude (which, if you go by how Smith is, basically is none at all). Smith would be a great tutor for Griffin, learn humility and how to play and then let his intuition and physical talents take over on the field. I personally would've loved seeing RGIII go to the Chiefs as Smith's backup. Small market team so the media wouldn't be as fervent, a good coach with a history of taking chances on guys (and Reid has a ton of consultants, including the guy that invented the read option) to help him along, a good situation.
I think the Eagles would be another good situation. I'm not sold on Bradford (hope he can maybe live up to the potential though), and Kelly will go with whomever helps them win.
I think the next step for read option is to basically find 2+ players who are just great all around playmakers. Guys that could play QB, RB, WR, and then have as many of them as you can, and whichever one is hot that game, then get them the ball as much as possible. But keep switching things up so that other teams can't get too comfortable. Not only that, but a decent amount of these guys could benefit from not having all the pressure on the, especially early on their careers. I actually think a team could make a good racket out of that. Like Chip Kelly where he'll always be drafting guys, then develop them and get good play out of them while they're young and cheap, then is willing to part with them (and the player can go elsewhere and get a big pay day and get to be the man for that team at QB).
*cough*
offensive lines are important.
I was talking about high draft picks, not FIFTH rounders. Jesus christ, you are stupid about football. You draft high with offensive linemen and low for QBs and RBs because a good offensive line improves both passing and running performance, along with the fact that it's easier to predict lineman quality than QB quality by past performance.the redskins have drafted many linemen in the past 5 years, including pro bowl tackle trent williams and 5th round pick this past year.
and no one is arguing that the owner isn't an idiot, in fact i think anyone who knows anything about football already knows that.
but keep spewing your fun facts and hanging off of rg3's nuts. you probably love tim tebow too.
Luck is playing really bad right now. Last night was the first time I think I've ever seen him seriously pissed off at himself.
Wow, just wow. Hahahhahaahahahahahahaha
Washington was playing Griffin at safety with the scout team defense at practice this week
It wouldn't be strange if the Cowboys pick him up. I mean, he is "from Texas" and went to a Texas college. He will sell jerseys. And, he can't possibly be worse than Weeden if Romo goes down.
dallas isn't going to end up with rg3
You sir win the Miss Cleo Award! Would Dallas rather have Weeden or RG3 now?
interesting how cousins and the run game is producing better than rg3 thus far through 2 games with virtually the same line RG3 was behind.
was the quality of the defense they were playing against the same though?
haha.now that the skins have an offensive line worth a damn, rg3 can't show whether or not he can be a quality quarterback.
HAHAhe's got top-notch accuracy
HAAHAHAHHAAAAAAA!!and he's the fastest qb in the league
i really think he will end up heading to houston.
i'm bummed that, now that the skins have an offensive line worth a damn, rg3 can't show whether or not he can be a quality quarterback. he's got top-notch accuracy and he's the fastest qb in the league, but he doesn't have the release that cousins has. but, the team is more important than just one man.
you all can see, though, what i was saying about the offensive line being way more important that the quarterback, though, right? when you have a stud offensive line, your quarterback has an opportunity to do what he's paid to do. you also have a much better run game. if you don't have a good offensive line, your qb doesn't have protection or time to deliver quality throws and running lanes are already filled.
the colts really need to find a new gm or scouts or something, because this year-in-year-out sorry excuse for a run game is annoying.
RG3 might still be the fastest QB in the league, but what's that going to get him exactly? Speed only matters when you're running and we've all seen what happens to RG3 when he runs - he gets smashed and then misses games. And when he does play in the pocket, he has terrible footwork and vision.
Luck has had a terrible offensive line from the beginning and still plays well (the last two games notwithstanding). His accuracy and YPA has probably suffered a little from being pressured so much but he generally comes through.
haha.
HAHA
HAAHAHAHHAAAAAAA!!
same offensive line that could be "record breakingly bad" with RG3 behind it is now producing with cousins behind them. clearly the quarterback behind the line has nothing to do with it.
go figure.
and rg3 STILL doesn't know how to slide, he didn't learn last year.
