[@RoarOfWolverine]

The fault goes where it as always belonged since the Cooke family sold the Redskins, with Dan Snyder! Snyder is a curse to football and unfortunately, to my Redskins. This team will never be good under his ownership because Snyder won’t accept the fact that he knows nothing about football. Jack Kent Cooke was a great owner because he wrote checks and trusted his GM to find a good coach and then let that coach run the team. Snyder loves getting involved with the players, especially the superstars of the team. He is always involved in the selection of players in the draft. An owner has no place there. It is the vision of the GM and coach as to what kind of a team they will build and field the proper players to full full those roles. Players that will fit well within a system, where guys like Dan think that you just draft all of the trophy winners and college superstars and any superstars you can pick up on free agency, because stars win championships. How well has this worked for him? The worst thing Dan does is giving his phone number to the stars on the team. He allows those stars to dictate how they will be handled and this will make you a disjointed horrible team. Each player is concerned with their role and how their career will unfold, not looking at the team as a whole. Football is a team sport, more so than most any other sport. You can’t just have a few Michael Jordans who can take you to multiple world titles in football. Joe Gibbs won multiple titles by building a team, with the biggest emphasis on the offensive line. That line won them three world titles, not some flashy QB or RB. In fact, Gibbs won those titles with 3 different QBs and several different RBs, but most of the same lineman on offense. Dan Snyder should just hire a good GM who will select a coach with a similar vision and then write checks and stay out of the way. He will never build a great team in Washington letting the star players call the shots. Shanahan, like Gibbs, was a proven SB winner, but neither of them could do more than make a playoff appearance under Snyder. Gibbs posted one playoff win and it was a close one in Tampa, but Gibbs should have done so much more with that team. It was RGIII that wrecked his own fate by staying in that playoff game when the Skins had a 14 advantage early in the game and Cousins on the bench. The next day Shanahan said he went the the guy that he felt gave them the best chance to win and that was bullshit. I know that Shanahan is smarter than that. What a major insult to Cousins saying that a crippled RGIII gives them a better chance of winning a game they had a 14 point advantage in than sending in Cousins? Shanahan knew that was a load of crap, but he was covering for the real mess going on. A disaster where he had a twenty something year old spoiled brat making the calls for a multimillion dollar franchise, but he knew he was going to be out of there soon and there was no use stirring up trouble. Dan Snyder’s Redskins became a place where aging coaches and players went to make huge sums of money before retiring from football, not a place to win championships. Most of the coaches and players had already done that and were no longer hungry for victory, just a large payday to set them up for life. It saddens me to know that the skins will never be great again in my lifetime. Snyder is one of the youngest owners in football and one of the richest, so he is going nowhere anytime soon. He is too hardheaded to ever see how he is the problem and will continue to let the superstar players call him and bitch about the coaches and then he will get the coaches straight. That is not how you run a football franchise. All of the fault for what happened to RGIII and every other player and coach that has run through Washington since the 1990s is ultimately the fault of Dan Snyder. He just can’t limit his involvement in the team and like all super rich people, he is surrounded with “yes men”, so there is no one to tell him the truth, he knows nothing about football and how to run an NFL franchise. Until he realizes that, things will never get better in Washington, they just continue to get worse.

Wolverine Smith WOW! That’s a whole lot of info about Snyder & the Skins. But...you lost me when you said RG3 ruined his own career by ‘staying in’ that playoff game.

He never learned, at that time, to be an effective pocket quarterback and get past the first read. Defenses picked up on that and started to make him pay.

Lies lies lies . mike tried to bench him to let him heal before the season started and rg3 made passive aggressive comments to media that made local fans and local media accuse mike of lying about him being hurt and wanting to sabatoge him cause he black . then in the playoff game when mike tried to sit him when it was clear he was hurt rg3 ran on the field and refused to come off the field . than when the next season started mike wanted him to sit to heal from acl surgery and rg3 started a media firestorm by saying he was healthy and even had his doctor lie and say he was healthy . this was all aided by Dan Snyder who dumb ass applied pressure to mike to start him or ELSE. Rg3 made his bed he has to lay in it

I ran hurdles with him throughout highschool in Killeen Tx. I remember him being more humble than boasting, even though he had ever right to be. He averaged about 2 to 4 seconds faster than anyone else in the district at hurdles. He was actually 1 of 3 seniors from his year that ended up getting signed. Sad to see what ended up happening after the fact but regardless of that he has had a wild ride.

[@grrizzzy7]

That was just the tip. After the injury they wanted him to be a pocket passer

[@seahawkerseattleite2184]

He beat the cowboys while hopping around in one leg then they threw him in against the best defense in football at the time. While still hopping around on one leg.

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

He didn't want to come off and avoided the physios on the side line. I think he should never have started the game, because he could barely walk. But he felt too threatened by Cousins to sit. Plenty of blame to go around on this one.

[@Inbal_Feuchtwanger]

@@shotgunner5514 A good coach would have recognised his talent and listened to the player when he is saying he shouldnt be running. A good example is look at what the Seahawks did with Russell Wilson after he injured himself. The read option is barely in their playbook now, and Wilson is in the pocket much more often. Shanahan didnt give a rats ass about RG3's long term health, he just had the shortsighted goal of the performing well right then. Now Wilson is known as a top tier QB and RG3 is a backup that most people dont even know is still in the league. It could have gone very different for RG3 if he just worked on his throw and poise in the pocket.

[@leomallard9358]

In 2012, RG3 was electrifying as he earned a pro bowl and NFL offensive rookie of the year. One year later, in a 2013 playoff game against the Seahawks, Redskins’ head coach, Mike Shanahan made a selfish and shortsighted decision to keep an obviously injured RG3 in the game despite the fact he could barely walk on an injured leg. As a result, RG3 suffered a torn LCL, ACL, and meniscus, which ruined a promising career and changed the history of the Washington franchise. We’ll never know how great RG3 might have been if Coach Shanahan had valued his quarterback’s health over a meaningless playoff game.

Just like baby Marshawn Lynch at the Super Bowl " Im only here so I don't get fined " comment . It all becomes childish after awhile . Players want money but they don't want to talk to the media . I said it before and Ill say it again .......RGIII was way more worried about what socks he was wearing than worrying about learning a playbook . RGIII basically got Mike Shannahan fired by repeatedly throwing him under the bus. If RGIII had Shannahan back it might be different. the Redskins made one of the all time stupid decisions to trade a ton of draft picks to the Rams for RGIII.

I personally think he did very well as a rookie and he won the rookie of the year. Washington should of never played him in that Wild Card game vs Seahawks in January 2013 as RG3 tore his knee that game. Torn ACL and LCL that were grade 3 tears. After that injury RG3 had reconstructive surgery to repair his knee. When he came back to play again in the NFL; he wasn’t the same anymore. I personally think RG3 would of been good still if he never got injured. My two cents.

Ahhhh yes, Josh Gordon, the man of 10,000 second chances. As for RG3, not only were injuries the obvious culprit in his downfall, but also the league figured him out. He wasn't great in the pocket and he took unnecessary risks all the time when scrambling. Not a recipe for a long career.

I’ve seen so many comments from people blaming people wrongly I had to say something. This owner and organization ruined RG3 but he had a hand in his own downfall. To start, Snyder befriended RG3 and treated him better than anyone and was showing obvious favoritism, this gave RG3 leverage with Mike Shanahan. The knee injury was tested by Dr Andrews and it was a sprain, but RG3 has a weak frame and shouldn’t have played. Griffin pushed hard to play and was mad about Cousins success, he felt threatened and pushed Snyder and others to put pressure to play. He got what he wanted and got hurt, the END.
