I am a lil late to the party. Anyways I think Griffin should start right away. I am assuming of course that he will be ready. I also think Shanny should simplify the playbook. Last years rookies benefited from the lockout last year. I think the same approach that was taken for Cam Newton and Andy Dalton should be fine for Griff.
mike already said he was going to do that and try and put Rg3 in a situation. To win. To build around his skill sets.

Like SkinsJock in the start of this thread...I was thinking that they probably would wait until he is ready to start.

I hope it all works out fine for him. Way to much has been invested. He has to start.

^^ we're all on the same page here

the kid is not going in there unless he's ready - IMO he's been getting ready to be a starting NFL QB for years

how good does he have to be, to be a better QB than we've had here for many years Very Happy

he's already showing both on the field and off that he's a very special person and athlete

there is no doubt that the coaches and training staff will do everything to make sure the offensive scheme and physical preparation is for RGIII to be both the starter and the future great Redskins QB

RG3 Went Back into Game After Tearing his ACL at Baylor...and Threw 3 TDs

Quote:
We all know RG3 tore his ACL in a game vs Northwestern State in 2009. What I wasn't aware of was that RG3 went back into the game the next series.

Griffin got hurt when he was tackled hard by Gary Riggs and stopped for no gain on fourth-and-2 to end the game's opening drive. The standout sophomore remained on the ground for several minutes while Baylor students chanted his name, then walked gingerly to the sideline.

But Griffin, with his knee and lower right leg heavily wrapped, didn't missed a snap before halftime. Griffin then led Baylor to four touchdowns in an eight-minute span...

Some will just take that as evidence that he "won't" "last" in the NFL. Rolling Eyes

May not be applicable here....but RGIII will make a first with the roman numbers on his uniform.
