A discussion I had last night with another FReeper suggested that RG3 was thrust into the starting QB too soon. A year or two to develop would probably have been beneficial. Unless they can salvage him, he may go into the list of hugh [sic] NFL draft busts.

By the way, even though ESPN is a leftist outfit, some credit is due for their use of name "Redskins" in the title and the article. So, in one sense, there's still some sanity in Bristol.

I see him with a star on his helmet in the future.

He was pushed too soon, and also he joins the long list of Heismann-winner failures in the NFL. One of his strengths was his running ability, but that is negated by his position and his injury history. He was a decent pocket passer, but never an outstanding one.

We have a history of ruining young qbs. As a matter of fact, every qb since Theisman has met the same fate.

Like Mike Vick, they try to protect him too much. Vick was really good when he required a shadow. When they tried to turn him into Payton Manning, it failed.

Let RG3 do his thing and if he gets hurt doing it, so be it.

I think he'd be the perfect fit in Chip Kelly's offense.

It’s about time!

And while they are at it, they need a few decals of potatoes with red skins to place on their helmets.

As an aside, we also witnessed Michael Vick’s last game in the NFL, against Buffalo this past monday. He looked confused, his few completions were short-yard check downs, and the Jets looked terrible with him at QB.

Biggest bust in NFL history and a blind man could have seen it coming.

Puh-leese. RG III isn’t going anywhere. The Redskins are done this year, and he is being put on the shelf to prevent wear and tear because their offensive line sucks, and they know it.

I hear Tebow is still looking to be QB. And he has actually won playoff games in addition to having a wining NFL record.

Benched for Sunday’s game... I’m not seeing it. There’s no talent there just hype.

If Andrew Luck ever gets a real running game to back him up, watch out.

The bastards crippled RG III and now are dumping him. Oakland is calling.

In my humble opinion, RG III could literally revive his career playing for the Eagles under Chip Kelly.

The Eagles have a fairly decent offensive line, and as such Kelly could work on RG III to bring back the good throwing mechanics he showed during his last year at Baylor.
