vmax Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Whitlock rips him a new one after RG3 whines and complains about Shannarat.... RGIII exposed himself Monday afternoon. Just beneath the tough-guy, ultimate-warrior bravado he trumpets to the media lurks some major, Kirk Cousins-fueled insecurity.Griffin doesn’t like the way he’s being handled by the Washington coaching staff because he doesn’t want Mike Shanahan, his teammates or Redskins fans to think the backup QB is a viable option as the starting QB..........He wanted the glory of leading the Redskins to victory, and he wanted to deny Cousins a role in it. Griffin’s foolishness cost Washington the game, a contest it led 14-0I’m not the only one who knows this. Mike Shanahan knows. Trust me, Griffin’s teammates know. Griffin’s attempt to play hero cost the Redskins a playoff victory over the Seahawks. He should’ve been benched at halftime. Shanahan couldn’t do it because his mouthy, leverage-having quarterback would’ve complained to the media.Instead, Shanahan absorbed all the media hits for leaving Griffin in the game and jeopardizing the QB’s health. Griffin selfishly jeopardized his own health in that playoff game. He still wants to risk his own health -- in exhibition games.This isn’t leadership or a sign that Griffin is hyper-competitive. He’s insecure.His insecurity is starting to make me think Kirk Cousins is a better football player than I think.http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/robert-griffin-III-mike-shanahan-kirk-cousins-washington-redskins-081213 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesteelhurtin Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Whitlock rips him a new one after RG3 whines and complains about Shannarat.... If the deadskins ever wanted to run a real offense and not this spread shit cousins would be the qb. I think he always has been the back up plan for when teams figure out how to stop the spread.

OutsideRzAcE Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 If the deadskins ever wanted to run a real offense and not this spread shit cousins would be the qb. I think he always has been the back up plan for when teams figure out how to stop the spread They paid a hell of a price for him if they only intended for him to be a short term solution. I think Whitlock is reaching here, especially in portraying RG3 as some paranoid insecure control freak. I believe RG3 wanted to stay in the game against the Seahawks, but if Shannahan wanted him out he would've pulled him. That is more Shannahan's team than it is RG3's. RG3 is competitive and he wants to play. I think it's as simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenMad Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Seriously before I opened the thread I thought the Redskins had signed Oneil Cousins to block for RGIII and that is why he was feeling insecure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjr83 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 He is jeopardizing his career pushing himself. Christ the Bal game he got his knee bent in half and he back in three plays later hobbling around. Shanny isn't calling the shots over there. I agree with Steel, they took Cousins with a high pick (3rd round I think). Cousins could win with that team/running game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
