How long ago did I call this one? Lots of media hype. Lots of TV endorsements. Little production to show for it. RGIII is a poor pocket passer with average running ability and is injury prone. The option works in college, not in the NFL. He does not have the skill sets to run anything more complicated than a college offense.
I have a hunch. Danny Snyder was the one who drafted RGIII. Danny Snyder wanted the name of RGIII, and the hype of RGIII and somehow in his imaginary world he thought RGIII would pan out to be a great superstar. Shanahan said "Hey Bozo, RGIII is a fraud, I am going to draft Kirk Cousins, because RGIII will blow up in your face!" When RGIII could not play against Cleveland and Cousins had to step in, it actually opened up the playbook. If you are a rookie QB and a fellow rookie QB backs you up, and he can run the playbook better than you, then you should be embarrassed.
So lets review what happened. When RGIII played they ran Alfred Morris hard and depended on him to win them games. When Cousins played, they played a pure passing game, letting the QB do his job.
Now all RGIII has left are excuses and blaming other people. His apologists in the media are making excuses for him and that's all we will hear till next year.
