I hate the Redskins, but have to admit RGIII is looking solid. Problem is, can he stay healthy?
Solid but not the star he’s already been touted as by the media. Every year it’s a new black QB that will change the game. Oh they change the game alright. Running QBs in the NFL take hits and get hurt. They change the game for their teams while they sit on the bench and heal.
Meanwhile, there was this guy named Warren Moon once upon a time. Pretty darn good QB but didn’t inspire the media with any thuggish qualities. And there’s a young man in Tampa Bay named Josh Freeman. Kid has the tools to be a star for a long time in the league. Hear anything about him as the next best black QB? Nope. Josh is black but not a thug either, so you never will.
The media sickens me. How about instead of anointing someone as a star you let them earn the title?

RG3 is going to have to continue to learn how to avoid taking the big hits, but I think he has a lot of potential. He seems to keep his cool in crunch time — last week, he led his team to a potential game-winning drive on the road against the Giants, only to see his defense give it away, and then started another drive that was looking promising until a receiver (Moss, who had just been the TD-catching hero) fumbled the ball away.
What I’m most impressed with was watching him throw on the run; he doesn’t succumb to the Favrian “just chuck it” mentality using all arm strength, but actually sets his feet to make a proper throw, even while running. Good fundamentals should serve him well if he can stay healthy.
