I think that RGIII starts day 1

RGIII is NOT starting day 1 because:

1- he has to

OR

2 - That's why we traded for him

btw - I ALSO did not participate in the poll - ONLY because it's a stupid poll Laughing

If RGIII's competition in the preseason is Rex and/or Beck, he will be starting week 1. I just don't see trading everything they did for him just to have him ride the bench for a couple of games, especially if he outshines (and I'm almost 100% sure he will) Grossman/Beck in the preseason.

Starting him week 1 doesn't mean that he's not the guy for the long term. That logic makes no sense.

I'm sure the Panthers view Cam as their long term solution, but he still started. And, he didn't even have a full offseason. Same for Andy Dalton.


some posters here constantly make it obvious to others that they do not have a clue

Some posters here seem to think they need to let the rest of us know
1 - that they are more knowledgeable than others

AND

2 - that their input here is needed Shocked


thankfully Mike is in charge and not some nitwits here

This is NOT Cam Newton or Andy Dalton - DUH - this is Robert Griffin III
and another revelation - He's always going to be just that, he's not anyone else - WAKE UP

RGIII could very well start but it's not because he has to start

HE WILL BE THE STARTING QB WHEN MIKE THINKS HE SHOULD START

NOT because some nitwit fans or the media or anyone else thinks "he has to start on day 1"



I'm not going to engage here, because this post is written at the 8th grade level. So, I'll assume an 8th grader wrote it--making an argument just wrong.

For reference, the highlighted part of your post is typical of a SkinsJock contribution. It's a fluffy statement of the obvious and you think is an educated opinion. He will start when Mike thinks so. Duh. Mike isn't here though. So, you roll with the opinions of the people here. Your post uses excess words to say nothing. Mike is the Head Coach. So of course RG3 will start when Mike wants him to. That's not the question. The question is whether WE THINK he will be ready Day 1. Good grief.

With his athleticism, he gives us the best chance to win, even while he's learning. He may have a few 12-26 for 225yd games, but he'll probably add another 50-60 on the ground. We can't leave that on the bench and trot out a guy whose going to give the other team the ball 3 times.

We don't have the luxury of sitting him. Just like Kurtis Painter will be holding a clipboard for Andrew Luck. When you're picking that high, it's usually because you suck.

You don't start suck over talent.


+1 It would be like sitting Steve Young with out having Joe Montana.Would be awesome if he plays any thing like Steve Young

I'm fully convinced that SkinsJock is really Kyle Shanahan.

Barring injury, I don't see how it's even possible that any of our current QBs would outplay him in training camp and preseason


I agree, but that's not the criteria for a rookie. The criteria are if he is comfortable and confident enough to run enough of the playbook to be successful. He's only going to be competing against himself. And that will be game by game choices. I hope it's week one, but people are just ahead of themselves no matter how highly regarded he is for a rookie who hasn't gone to a single OTA. Or isn't even on the roster yet...

LOL = I could see it.

Typical SkinsJock Post below:

NO - Mike Shanahan WILL do whatever is BEST

This team WILL be BETTER because we HAVE TO be

RG3 WILL start but not because YOU say so but because I DO and MIKE TOO

YOU'RE WRONG because you are NOT Mike Shanahan

Dude, you just joined here. Word to the wise. You will drive yourself crazy trying to police civility. In America, there's no such thing anyway. Laughing

I'm not into policing anything, just a little exasperated with some of the brick walls the threads occasionally walk into. You go ahead and take from this site what you need and I'll do the same.

As far as civility goes, I aint giving up on y'all (he said in his best American accent) but I'll leave you to your squabbles.
