The NFC East is no longer the Least  
Pete from Woodstock : 6/1/2012 7:52 am : link

it sucks  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 6/1/2012 8:09 am : link
but the reports coming out of DC are his has looked great.
Still much ado. Shells and shorts. WoW!  
Big Blue '56 : 6/1/2012 8:13 am : link
Let's see how he looks after pre-season when teams are coming at him full speed and he's taking the pounding, even when he takes off..Then I'll gove him any deserved props....

Sheesh, it wasn't until the Parcells era until they even started having minicamps I believe..
give him

Let's see what happens when he has JPP, Tuck and Osi chasing his ass!

Unless he plays at a Pro Bowl level this year...  
Phil from WNY : 6/1/2012 8:18 am : link
this kid is going to have a lot of people turn on him. This constant talk about how great he is will set up expectations that he likely won't meet.

He's already been awarded the starting job and now they're crowning him the next great QB. It's a lot of pressure to put on the young man.
Don't 'the reports out of Washington'  
jcn56 : 6/1/2012 8:19 am : link
all originate from Snyder owned communications outlets?

Kinda like saying 'the reports out of Iran is that the uranium is for energy only'.

may be the real deal - and the NFCE may have become much tougher
Just remember Eli sucked  
mrvax : 6/1/2012 8:20 am : link
pre-season his rookie year.
Perhaps not analogous, but in terms of hype and expectations  
Big Blue '56 : 6/1/2012 8:23 am : link
who can forget when Spurrier had the Skins tearing it up during the pre-season? I make my "just stay healthy" during the pre-season statement every year, so here we go again.

As always, I wait and see when the real action starts and even THEN, it can take 3-4 games into the season before players/teams begin to gel

it's the players at camp who are making the comments.

If we had Giant players raving about David Wilson, we'd be pretty darn excited.
E,  
Big Blue '56 : 6/1/2012 8:25 am : link
not really. Some of us would wait and pray he stays healthy
I learned my lesson after I thought Damon Washington  
Big Blue '56 : 6/1/2012 8:28 am : link
would make it big after watching him wow many of us during the preseason. Never again...
Reports out of training camp 2 years ago was Ramses Barden

would be a monster....

Good.  
Randy in CT : 6/1/2012 8:32 am : link
We need some decent competition.
This may  
muhajir : 6/1/2012 8:33 am : link
be good. All the early praise and nicknames may foster some arrogance/pompousness inside of him which could lead to a lack of work ethic. Lack of work ethic may lead to early struggles, clashes, depression, bath salt use, cannibalism and snowball affect from there
Blah blah blah.....  
damdevs : 6/1/2012 8:35 am : link
and the initial reports out of camp when Eli was a rookie was that he was the worst QB they've ever seen lace them up.

If the clown can't read a D then all of his skill means jack shit! If he can then it will be fun to watch us get after him.

can throw the ball through the goalposts from midfield on one knee.
He might be...  
Matt G : 6/1/2012 8:38 am : link
But may as well wait for the real bullets to start flying... Jeff George had the most powerful arm that I've ever seen...
Again, as with Cam Newton(who had no playbook until lockout  
Big Blue '56 : 6/1/2012 8:39 am : link
ended), once it's proven on the field during the real season, RG will get plenty of props from me
He's flinging it around in shorts  
redbeard : 6/1/2012 8:41 am : link
not too surprising that a massively talented kid would look great.

Let's wait until he get on the field against the rest of the NFC East and JPP, Tuck, Osi, Kiwi, Ware, Cole and Babin are chasing him around. Then we can talk about how good he looks
We'll see if he earns legendary status when games start for real  
Greg from LI : 6/1/2012 8:43 am : link
Until then, he's just another rookie QB. One who plays in an offense with a lousy OL and a weak WR corps.
Pretty good article  
ctc in ftmyers : 6/1/2012 8:52 am : link
Actually states that there in no training camp intensity, pass rush, etc. Realized that after injuring his knee in his sophomore year that he had to become a pass first guy. Boom or bust? who knows? He'll have the same chance to prove himself as the guy drafted before him.
Hahahahaha

When does the reporting out of DC say otherwise on anything? Mike Shanahan could take a crap on a piece of bread, call it a sandwich, and show it to reporters and they'd say it was the best sandwich ever made.

I see 12-4, and even then I'm not sure where the four losses are going to come from." -Doc Walker 2006

who the heck is

Doc Walker???
once again the Redskins are the offseason champs  
Jints in Carolina : 6/1/2012 9:00 am : link
Let's see how RGIII does when the real bullets fly before we cream ourselves.
Doc Walker is priceless  
Greg from LI : 6/1/2012 9:02 am : link
I remember wayyyy back when CSN Midatlantic was Home Team Sports, there used to be a Redskins Magazine show with Doc Walker and Monte Coleman, and it was the most ridiculous homer show of all time.
Doc Walker is a former player....  
Britt in VA : 6/1/2012 9:03 am : link
and just another minion on Snyder's payroll that works for the "unbiased" Redskins media.

Doc Walker, Larry Michael, Sonny Jergenson, Sam Huff, I forget the other clown in the booth with those last two loons.
the thing about this article is  
gidiefor : Mod : 6/1/2012 9:03 am : link
there's no predictions - just comments from a bunch of RGIII's teammates being in awe of the kid's arm - and what he can do with it. Rex Grossman actually sounds jealous and intimidated by it.

Not for nothing - but the skins getting a good QB makes them very dangerous competitors
Does it, though?  
Britt in VA : 6/1/2012 9:04 am : link
Cam Newton had a fantastic rookie year. Didn't stop them from going 6-10.
Britt  
Greg from LI : 6/1/2012 9:05 am : link
Frank Herzog before he retired
You hear nothing about Wilson  
Snee07 : 6/1/2012 9:06 am : link
because "talk is cheap" and we need to "play the game." I didn't even bother opening the link.
Britt  
gidiefor : Mod : 6/1/2012 9:06 am : link
let's discount next season and take the long view here - the skins haven't had a decent QB in a Looooong Time…

If this kid has half the tools and smarts being reported - the Skins are going to be for real.
btw  
gidiefor : Mod : 6/1/2012 9:08 am : link
do you have any doubts that Carolina is going to be better than last year?

Cam Newton is the real deal.
Yawn  
area junc : 6/1/2012 9:09 am : link
The skins break out the hype whenever they can and havent had a good qb prospect in a long time.


Vick has a jaw dropping Arm too: in this league its about reading defenses and delivering on time....well see!
I was in awe  
bois : 6/1/2012 9:09 am : link
Of Jamarcus Russel's throwing ability during warmups of a game at Giants Stadium. Guy had a cannon, just effortlessly flinging it all over the place. It was hard not to glance across the field and notice Eli simply didn't have that natural ability, that throwing power.


Giants won 44-7.
Good luck RGIII

The Redskins had a depth problem on the line last year, and the general consensus seems to be that they didn't do much to address it this offseason. They still have an issue at right tackle if Jammal Brown can't get over his hip problems.

guys  
RD in CT : 6/1/2012 9:10 am : link
Cam Newton had arguably the best rookie season ever for a quarterback, and his team was under .500. Even if you think he can emulate the stats that Cam Newton did last year (and even if you think RGIII is great, you can't bank on that), its not a given that the redskins are going to be great.

They should be solid and competitive, nothing more IMO. If he does pan out, this year isn't the year to be nervous, it's the future.
You know who really has to love these reports?  
jcn56 : 6/1/2012 9:10 am : link
Browns fans.

I mean, they have to want someone dead in the FO over there right about now, right?
it's hard to impress you guys - lol  
gidiefor : Mod : 6/1/2012 9:11 am : link
if the reports were he was stinking it up - you'd be laughing about how foolish the skins were - I never saw any respect coming out of fellow teammates for Russell. Never ever.
We've been playing against great QB's....  
Britt in VA : 6/1/2012 9:12 am : link
for awhile now in this division. We have the solution for that. Good pass rush. I'm not worried no matter how he looks.

He should be worried about his offensive line when he plays us.
Britt  
gidiefor : Mod : 6/1/2012 9:13 am : link
the skins beat us twice last year - with Rex Grossman at the helm - and that flawed Offensive line
Yawn.  
AcidTest : 6/1/2012 9:13 am : link
Everybody knew RGIII had a cannon, and he has certainly looked as good as anyone could expect, but he hasn't even played a preseason game.

As others have noted, Cam Newton had an insane rookie year, and the Panthers were still 6-10.
Fluke. We were due.  
Britt in VA : 6/1/2012 9:15 am : link
We had beat them how many times in a row up to that point? 8 or 9?

Either way, I'll believe it when I see it. Money talks, and bullshit walks, and the Redskins have been doing a lot of walking for the past decade.
I'm sure Griffin will be fine  
bois : 6/1/2012 9:16 am : link
Just having fun with it.
