but texas wanted to play him at safety. he should have not followed briles and have gone to UH and follow the legend of keenum.
I know! You have got to find this situation very funny with the same thing being reported in both cities.
Quite true. There's a term for this: "Legend in their own mind" syndrome. It's quite prevelent (and extremely contagious) up here. Supposedly, Jerral Jones has been identified as "patient zero".
Just so we don't fall into the stereotype (black QB, run first QB, gimmicky college offense, dreads... take your pick), RGIII graduated from high school a semester early, ranked 7th in his class, and started attending Baylor at 17. He graduated from Baylor in three years with a degree in Political Science. 3.87 PGA, Deans List twice, Big-12 Academic All-American twice and was working on his Masters degree his last year of eligibility. All while being a two-sport start that went to the Track & Field US Olympic Trials and won the Heisman. Intelligence is not the issue. Every qb has their strengths and weaknesses and a good coaching staff designs a offense that more caters to his qbs strengths than weaknesses. Washington didn't do it. Only thing that plagues him now is possible continued injuries.
He still doesn't play smart. Russell Wilson plays smart. Never takes a hit because he always slides at the right time. BOB is also looking for a QB that will fit his system so he can run everything he wants to do. That's why I don't think he's coming here.
Why has BOB done to earn this respect, because he got to coach Tom Brady? How is mike McCoy doing now that he doesn't have peyton manning.
Actually Washington did do that, and probably to a fault. Shanahan wasn't a pistol guy, but mixed Baylor's with his own system.Made it much easier for RG3 to make an impact as rookie where other coaches try to mold guys to their system and the growing pains that comes with it.
It may have translated into mediocre records, but McCoy's done a lot of work himself. McCoy made it work with several QBs one of which was also Tebow, who we all know is limited as a QB. Rivers went from the 2nd most sacked guy in 2012 into the 20th in 2013 after a season with McCoy. And that's with trash at OL, they were taking guys that were getting Vick killed with the Eagles. Gase is looking decent as well.
I'm waiting to read a valid response to the criticism that Robert can't play because of the following: 1) his success in the NFL was only in the read-option system -he can't do that anymore because he's not the same athlete as he was in 2012 -has a brittle body that crumbles when hit -he has gone around coaches and complained to ownership showing his desire to not run read-option 2) he has shown no ability to consistently succeed as an NFL-level pocket QB -he only does well from the pocket with the threat of big-play running, which he no longer has -he can't read defenses at NFL speed -which leads him to holding on to the ball too long, which leads him to having the worst sack-per-drop back rate in the NFL post surgery Robert is a tough, smart, young man with some weird quirks that cause teammates and coaches to dislike him, but seems like a really decent person overall. That said, all personality criticisms are secondary to his ability to play NFL level QB from the pocket, and he can't. It doesn't matter if he's humbled. It doesn't matter if he's more mature. It doesn't matter if he's finally decided to take time studying film. He's never had to be a pocket QB before. He's never had to learn an extensive playbook before. At Baylor, it was just basic fly-post route concept combos. And there's no evidence that he can do it now. His athleticism has been his blessing and a curse, over-relying on it and never learning the other QB skills because he never had to.
i was high on RG3 back in the day and thought he had everything needed to be great but at a certain point you have to stop looking at all the excuses and realize that he is not a good nfl QB. I just have a hard time believing that if he actually had any resemblance of ability to be a good QB he wouldn't have been run off like he did. Humility doesn't help you read a defense make the correct throw.
We could do worse that's what I have to say... If you bring him in you wouldn't be promising him anything other than a chance to compete... And you know how much BOB likes to compete.
What's he done? He's become a head coach of a professional football team. If your HC and your starting QB are at odds about things on the field, you're not going to win many games. QBs have to fall in line with what the coach wants to do. If players, QBs or otherwise, don't respect the coach, then it's time to get rid of the coach.
There is no valid response. That's why you won't see one. There's just a hope that maybe despite everything he can turn it around. Personally I don't buy that, but many apparently do.
