Here’s my episode on the fall of Todd Gurley:

[@BigJellyDean]

As a Redskins fan, idk if I will ever get over this. And yes i said Redskins, I'm Native American and the name never should've been changed.

[@wishman822]

That 2012 season for the Redskins was magical and will go down as one of my favorite seasons. If RG3 never got hurt I think they would’ve gone to the Divisional Round.

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

What also didn’t help RG3 early on was that he refused to slide at the end of runs

[@battlestar1788]

Just here to say he wasn’t even that great in first place

[@juanmikel7507]

People still blame Shannahan. You think he willingly wanted to change the offense that had brought him so much success. If RGIII didn’t succeed was because his ability as a QB(not a runner) wasn’t that good.

[@JohnDaDong93]

On the bright side, he’s stuck around in the league longer than most expected him to, and is still collecting checks as a backup.

[@jimbophoenix]

He never played for the Washington Football Team

[@carniedph]

I know what happened without watching the video. He was on the redskins.

[@raheim21]

I think RG3 had the talent to become a drop back QB, but it had been rumored he did not put the time in. He had so many endorsements and was also not well liked by his teammates particularly his offensive line. Did not ever slide when running. Also alienated his teammates by being Daniel Snyder's BFF. He had access to Snyder's private jet which is awesome but why didn't anyone else? He said when asked how difficult was the NFL... "NFL is easy, a lot like college". 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@landismceachin6492]

This is the best breakdown of RG3 and the offense I've ever heard. It's unfortunate that his lack of self-awareness and the owner empowering him to where he could tell the coaching staff that he wasn't running the read-option anymore were major factors in his downfall. It's still remarkable what the Shanahans did in 2012 in assentuating his strengths while keeping his flaws well-hidden with that offense.

[@santanajackson8829]

My father passed away that year and RG3 helped me to get through them tough times and me being a redskins fan that shit was magical and that Thanksgiving game against them punkass cowboys will never be forgotten . I just hate to see how the young brothas career turned out

[@kabohakevin4103]

Moral of the story

[@colinbunn6066]

Awesome video. Maybe one of my favorites you've EVER done

[@skeetermcdank1667]

Shout out RG3 in his first season though people thought I was nuts taking him in Fantasy draft. They still be crying about that.

[@SouLofthegroup]

I drafted RG3 his rookie season, and picked Alfred Morris up off of waivers my first season of fantasy football.

[@danielsnook5029]

I'd like to see a career length comparison of rushing vs non-rushing QB's.

[@minimalistic_banhaus]

If Derek Henry were 5'8" 170 I would still be scared of him.

[@DemonLoso]

I'm 2 months late, but let me tell you this is one of the greatest breakdown videos I have EVER seen in sports. You have a God given talent, your research and knowledge of the game is incredible and I'm subbing to you bro, I will be tuning in from now on.

[@KinnyGames]

I absolutely love your videos, Alex. Another exceptional breakdown!
