Redskins: RG3 and His Status with the Redskins

This offseason for the Redskins seems like it has been made for a reality television show, it has been one big will they or won't they when it comes to RG3.  The first story line was will they pick up his 5th year option and they did but it was much later then the rest of his draft class.  RG3 is an enigma when it comes to the NFL, he was amazing his first year but suffered an injury and he never fully recovered.  Since then he hasn't been able to play a full year and has looked to regress every year that he has been in the NFL.  Now some of this can be put on the shoulders of the front office and the coaching staff of the Redskins as they have changed and the fact that Dan Snyder seems to put his nose into every aspect of his team when he doesn't really have a clue as to what to do.

The other aspect of this reality show that is the Redskins is that RG3 comes out and says things that really he should not be saying like how he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league.  Now he might be in pure talent but the past few years he has not been on the same level as half of the quarterbacks in the league and his saying that invites people to take shots at him and makes any bad game even worse in the minds of the fans.  What he needs to do is be quite and put his head down and start improving, he needs to be more like Kaepernick who has been very quiet this off season with all of the drama that is surrounding the Niners.

RG3 has lost his starting job to Kirk Cousins who has played a bit better then him in the past few years and there is speculation that he may not be with the Redskins much longer.  I personally believe that he does need to part ways and find another team where he can have a fresh start as his welcome has been worn out in DC.

I hope you enjoyed this post and will keep following my love affair with sports.
