Shannahan really did ruin RG3

Chukarhawk · Nov 23, 2014

Dude looks like a 3rd string qb. I mean he looks really bad.

RunTheBall · Nov 23, 2014

No he didn't, RG3 just isn't good.

uncle fester · Nov 23, 2014

Genuinely think RGIII is going to suffer serious damage to his long term health. He got pummelled in that game.

The turning point for Griffin was the WC game versus Seattle--two rook qbs going in opposite directions.

Joey13091 · Nov 23, 2014

Yeah too bad. He should've never went back in 2 years ago.

RG Knee is nothing more than a back up caliber QB in the NFL.

Lords of Scythia · Nov 23, 2014

We're so lucky to have Wilson instead of RG3. This was really illustrated when we played Washington this year. 3 got screwed by his coach, yes.

I'm with the OP on this.

Reminds me of the David Carr story.

Griffin's ego ruined Griffin. Going out in front of the fans, doing jumping jacks and stating publicly he's "ready to go"...while planting seeds of doubt about the coaching by answering questions with "I don't know why I'm not playing...I'm ready, I've been ready, the doctor says I'm ready, I guess coach just doesn't want to play me". That made him an ass. when he later bragged he got Shanahan fired, he became an asshole and a more educated, toned down version of Harvin when you get down to it..

Rule number 1 is you never use the media to voice your complaints...Griffin has turned that into an art form and nobody in the league, his own team included, can stomach the guy. It's always someone else's fault with Robert Griffin. The day he was drafted I said in 5 years people will be saying..."Oh yeah, I remember that guy". He's pretty much right on schedule, imo.

I don't disagree with you but I do feel that a team/ coaching staff should be actively involved with mentoring young players, especially the high profile ones.

I follow BYLOR and TCU fairly close, and IMO RG3 didn't have traits that would make you think he was headed down that road.
That's why I agreed with the OP.
Some kids don't need help with off field stuff and some do. IMHO there is a lot more to the problem than his personality.

CPHawk · Nov 23, 2014

Imagine what Chip Kelly could do with RG3 though? He's turned Sanchez into a legit NFL Qb, he could surely resurrect RG3 career.

The Outfield · Nov 23, 2014

No, that crappy Fed Ex field grass ruined RG3.

No doubt Pmed. But Griffin just made life hell for Shanahan. If that wasn't bad enough, Snyder then of course jumped to the side of his superstar QB, demanded he see the field, and it was pretty obvious (to me) the Shanahans just said to hell with this, we'll be out of here soon. Let's play his egotistical ass into the dirt.

I've not liked Shanahan since he took over for Reeves in Denver. IIRC, it was he that started the whole freeze the kicker horse shit too. I hate defending the guy, but in this example, I don't think he ruined Griffin and if you believe Robert Griffin, it was he that ruined Shanahan.

Yeah kind of pathetic that Snyder paid so much to get RG3, but because he's such a cheapskate he has a crappy field and it ruined his investment.

Largent80 · Nov 24, 2014

Remember Sad /Happys avatar it said, wanted RG3, Got Flynn....?

Thankfully we got neither.

This and the special things he was allowed above the team rules..They just took those away from him..Good! he never earned any special rights..He ruined himself with his big fat lazy head...
