As a Ravens fan, I appreciate you and how you were there by LJ side as well being one of his biggest advocates as an analyst!

[@brainoverbrawn3404]

I second that. RG was all class when he came to the Ravens. For a guy of his profile, he was a consummate professional, seamlessly blended into the team, and exuded so much enthusiasm despite where he was in his football career at the time. Absolutely, he's a brilliant analyst...he's a natural. The Ravens flock loves you RG, keep doing your thing!!!

[@Mustang1984]

Yeah, RG3 is always defending LJ and the Ravens. I like him.....

[@user-f5xt2op9t]

I remember how much fun it was to be cheering for RG3 in the 4th quarter during that 2019 run because it meant Lamar had already balled his way out of the game. lol. I have SO much respect for the absolute professional that RG3 was in his time in Baltimore. We were so lucky to have him.

[@KO-iz4dc]

💯 RG3 ONE of the greatest most underrated analyst in this era hands down. Knows football and life

[@darrelle9426]

Flacco was 🗑️ got lucky he had Ray and ed reed and anquan that contract was the worst in ravens history never made playoffs again 😂😂😂

[@Dustin030888]

Facts

[@brainoverbrawn3404]

@@darrelle9426 Flacco probably cost the Ravens multiple super bowls, but the year they won in 2012, defense was already over the hill and Flacco absolutely carried the team in the playoffs en route to winning the SB. His numbers were crazy. It's not true that he never made the playoffs again...went to playoffs in 2014, beat Steelers in the wild card game and lost a close divison game, 35-31, at New England.

[@amadoundiaye5853]

God made you go through what you went through to push the further generation through Lamar. You're blessed to be apart of the his plan

[@QuincyMThomas]

Well said😤

[@user-js5ux5zb7q]

I appreciate you RG3. You got thrown into a tough situation in Washington, put it all on the line, and took that organization to places it hadn't been in a long time and hasn't been able to reach since you left. In my opinion you still don't get the recognition you deserve. Salute from Baltimore.

[@bbdj3]

I’ve always thought having you around was a major plus in Lamar’s growth and subsequent success.

[@victorgerrity7158]

Honestly, as a lifelong ravens fan. I consider you to be one of the most important players we've ever signed. The ability to stay humble and work hard is something that lamar always had. But you shouldn't what it looks like up close on the professional level

[@connorthurston7731]

Lamar has the potential to dominate this game in a way we really have never seen before. We see this in basketball with only the highest echelon of players. In football, I think it's become increasingly obvious its only really mahomes and jackson at the very top of the mountain.

[@ravensgyrl]

Once a Raven always a Raven and you still support!! You’re a great guy RGIII

[@scdb12]

Dope! You def helped LJ over the years.

[@FlyTyBlizzy]

Agreed

[@joshrouse8525]

You are a definition of a true team player. Was blessed to have you as a member of the ravens. Thank you for all that you done and always sticking up for the ravens.

[@QuincyMThomas]

RG3 is an example of why you pay it forward.

[@adamwhittington8547]

Shoutout to RG3 we may have not drafted him but he most definitely a raven respect 🫡 how he holds it down for Lamar and the ravens

[@antoniowilliams9440]

RG3 & Joe Flacco *RESPECT* for 'passing the game forward' on behalf of Lamar‼

[@woofer13]

RG3 definitely mentored Lamar. Flacco DID NOT. It was only at the very end of that season, that Joe gave Lamar a helpful hint during one of the very last games. And it was only for the cameras. Flacco knew he would never be the starter again, so he was trying to look like a mentor, in order that another team would pick him up. The Broncos fell for it. Maybe you know what happened after that. The Broncos got rid of him. You apparently never watched one of Joe's interviews when he was a Bronco or when he was a Jet. He stated more than once that he had zero interest in helping out the younger QBs. EDIT: Here's one of the interviews: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWGwlnaAeLaId8k

Once a Raven …. Always a Raven God bless RG3 , god bless you and your family❤💜🖤🐦‍⬛

Love how this brother speaks and even more how high he speaks of Lamar Jackson he always ride hard for Lamar 💯

[@unpluged8619]

Facts, he is the only one that always gave Lamar credit

[@battletested2972]

This is a great video! RG3 is the epitome of class personified, and an example of a REAL mentor. So grateful as a Ravens fan of what he was able to instill in LJ8. And excited for him to receive such satisfaction having played a pivotal role in Lamars Unanimous MVP season.

[@gkj13]

What a teammate. RG3 is a special human being. Selfless.

[@chriswillis7315]

I feel you RG3. You a real genuine person. Played his role very well to help the unit!!!

[@LorMRKO]

Love your analysis on the ravens one of the few that doesn’t just hate for no reason at all and actually gives valid takes and criticism that doesn’t come off as being biased even tho you played for the team and been around these guys not so long ago

[@andrewfung9340]

Great story about Joe and RG3

Great asset to Ravens and supporter of LJ8. Put some respect on RG3 name. 🔥

[@LadyTyger51ne]

Thank you for telling your story and your impact and mentorship on Lamar Jackson. Once a Raven, always a Raven!

My "Kudos!" to Robert Griffin III & this brief video on his fellow Baltimore Ravens team-mate. Good for you, "RG-3"!...

RG, always love your takes. You speak the game right and not what gets clicks and views like most of the media.

Thank you RG3!

[@FlockingRavens]

RG3 You DEFINITELY Left Your Stamp In The DMV‼️ You Brought The Commanders Back To Life, You Def Deserve Some Credit To Lamar’s Success. One Tree Doesn’t Make A Forest They Say,It Took Every Single Person In That Locker Room To Help Shape Lamar To What He Is Today, Maybe Some Players Didn’t Want To Help But Clearly Who Ever Did Help Was More Than Enough So Shout Outs To You OG‼️ Forever A Raven #3 😈😈😈

[@marvelvsdc6611]

RG3, I followed you when you were a rookie, loved you as a qb! I’m glad you always have LJs back! 🏈

[@denysedavid961]

We know that you will stand with Lamar Jackson. Thank you!❤

[@slaaneshhedonite7068]

For years now I’ve always said (I honestly don’t even know if it’s true at all or not) “RG3 is not only there to help teach Lamar how to play. But how not to play. Not to take unnecessary risks, feel like it is all up to you. That’s how RG3 kept hurting himself…” no idea if that played a hand at all. But that’s how I have always seen it. And it is greatly appreciated dude.

[@justo2700able]

It was meant for you to come to Baltimore. Even tho you and Lamar are different individuals, you’re both compassionate and genuine. I just sense that. And that’s what makes the ravens organization what it is. Everything happen for a reason and we appreciate your time here! From Baltimore with love

[@tuckerjerbs]

Rg was a top 50 athlete in nfl history. Lamar is top 5. Nice to see someone as legendary as RG not give salty ass takes on Marcus Jackson’s game

Been a fan of RG3. Appreciate how he came in and played his role, helped support Lamar in his development....but those Cell and Vegeta figures on the shelf just put it over the top.😎👌🏽💯

[@CEBLOOMS]

That's right, I came up in a different era and I knew you had been there as I was in DC then and used to speak up for you, but I knew you could mentor him and you did a great job and still speak up for his mistreatment as a dual threat QB like I was before you two.

[@dougephresh2912]

Facts. I've been a Ravens fan since Flacco took us to the Super Bowl, but I only really started paying attention to things when Lamar came around. I figured RG3 played a vital role in Lamar's development, but to hear the praise coming from RG3 for Lamar is amazing. It sucks that RG3 didn't get a ring or enjoy more success than he did, but I'm glad he ended up with the Ravens.

[@ralami6183]

❤Bro

[@kingroyalty9621]

[@cherp7522]

That full support makes ALL the difference early on in a NFL QB's career and escalation. You certainly were not afforded that in any way. But, it all works for good. You gave Washington one of the funnest, most exciting years in their recent history. And nothing has come close to that since that time. You were the Lamar for the Skins. Too bad they were not as wise as the Ravens were with Lamar and giving him the proper opportunity to transition to the Pro's the way he played in college.

[@bankslaw8900]

💪🏾

[@ydel1234]

I always thought RG3 was a real one. But now that I see the Vegeta and Cell dolls in the back, I KNOW he’s a real one.

[@meeee214]

Respect 🫡 I’m so happy for Lamar and idek him lol. He did everything different, no manager, etc… A lot of factors go into the development of a GOAT, our *Unanimous MVP possesses SO many qualities, record after record, and the way Lamar always gives glory to God, not just him but the whole team, I actually saw they were practicing to gospel music. Love this team and Lamar will get that Super Bowl he promised in Jesus name 🙏💪

[@AnthonyRusso93]

THE BEST post season run. As much as I thought he was hurting the team by expense and he was never really being elite. The transcendent nature of that post season can't be denied. Now Lamar he is transcendent as an athlete. He was already as good as 08 Joe was as a pure passer the his sophomore professional season no dual threat quarterback has ever been as dual-y of a dual threat quarterback. He can't crank it rainbow trajectory like Joe or even Mike Vick but he is only one tier below in raw power and he has touch pass skills Vick admits is way better than he ever could on his best days x2. The only things Lamar could truly have said to be lacking was purely teachable things and seeing his stylistic transition is going well I no longer think longevity is an issue. Every single one of the games he was putting in hard work in the film room he reduces the opponent to as. He had a slump if you can even call it that was he learned to read defenses and he wasn't fast at it yet. Prior to him learning the intellectual aspect he had the advantage that not reading is faster than the fastest read and it made him unpredictable also he had the benefit of being underrated. The game has slowed down to him, and now the conventional play style is easy because now his freakish skills is extra credit bugging out is now a plan C with plan B reliability. He does need to make sure he tailors his thought process to the specific defense at hand and he is doing that more often than not already and even undeniable guys have a defense totally blow their minds tactically at times sometimes a game is like rock paper scissors when the kind of skill is more relevant than the amount of skill.

[@bioLarzen]

Special kudos for giving Joe Flacco justice. Casual observers who aren't familiar with the pre-Lamar Ravens could easily think Joe was basically a puny and selfish QB, as most of what fans - and, indeed, often (self-proclaimed) "analysts" - said about him was how he wasn't "it" anymore and how he didn't seem to be willing to mentor either Lamar or Drew Lock in Denver...

[@OrangeClay]

I think the Colts, Falcons and Bears should call RG3.

[@JamesBerrigan]

I’d love to know if there was a moment that you realized like ‘oh shit, this dude going to be insanely great’ with Lamar and what that moment was.

Joe Flacco was a decent qb. He had a couple good years but 1 thing i believe is undeniable was that he generally played a little better in the postseason. Grant it he only won a single Superbowl but he helped take the Ravens deep into the playoffs on several occasions.
