Life-long Washington fan here & this is the best video I've ever seen on RG3. I'm not going to lie, I was extremely skeptical before clicking play, but you really did your research. I felt like I was listening to one of our local Sports Reporters who had ears on the ground while this stuff was happening. I'm happy RG3 has found a second career as a Football analyst and Color commentator but as a player, he limited his potential by rushing back from injury and wanting to be "Aaron Rogers" when that's not his skill set. A former teammate of RG3 once said on-air that Teams could take away half the field from RG3 due to his lack of progression skills, this limitation is completely unacceptable at the NFL Level.

[@YoungDen]

He had progressions it was that other teams new their plays. Also his coach didn't want him so there's that.

I thought so as a Redskins fan the day they were drafted because I saw how big of an arm Kirk Cousins had at Michigan State. I thought RG3 was a runner and a system quarterback. He was much better as a rookie than I thought, so I was wrong about his abilities overall. However, if Ngata hadn't injured him and he hadn't rushed back, I think his not knowing how to slide would have ended his career early, regardless.

He thought he had arrived. But in the NFL teams adjust better. Mahomes is a great example of a QB who does whatever it takes to win.

Good video. The only thing missing is the fact that RGIII saw that Cousins was running a completely different offense. I'm sure Snyder exacerbated the issue, but I remember it was clear Robert was upset that Kirk ran a different offense.

[@maya_coqsalonga]

Because Kirk could run Shanahan's offense. That's why Mike drafted him. They had to put plays from Baylor into the offense for RG3. He couldn't run the regular offense.

It's great to be "tough" and play through pain but it's just being selfish and stupid to play and put your team at a disadvantage! That low snap fumble play he abandoned the ball and it was a crucial turnover!

[@Zappy1210]

As an RG3 fan I think there is one pretty important detail left out. While I agree, and even RG3 would agree, he should have rested until he was 100% after that first injury. He is at some fault for the later injuries that occurred for sure. I also blame the Skins coaching staff from not saving RG3 from himself. That said, RG3 was doomed after that first season to fail weather he got hurt or not. The thing that made Shanahan a great coach was his ability to understand and capitalize on his teams strengths. He took over the Skins who were not a great team at the time and redefined the game plan focusing on not what was NFL protocol, but what his team could do best no matter how un-NFL like it was. With RG3's speed the read option which at the time was only seen in high school and college made perfect sense. RG3 had 1 weakness in his game, he was terrible at recognizing defenses, but had the talent and speed to mostly overcome that weakness his first season while teams struggled to figure out how to stop the read option. If RG3 stayed healthy, by year 2 defenses had the read option figured out. You can watch film of year 2 vs year 1 and see the adjustments defenses made to defend the read option essentially shutting RG3 down due to his lack of being able to read a defense. So my "what if" scenario if RG3 had not gotten hurt is by year 2 he would either need to learn to read defenses to play a more conventional style of QB which would have kept the read option still viable or, be a career backup. That is what separates RG3 from LJ8. LJ8 is pretty good at reading defenses and the read option is still a very lucrative part of his game.

[@kennethloki7011]

I don't know how much truth there is to it, but the word I always heard was that the coaches were over ruled by ownership. Coaches wanted Cousins to be on the field.

[@PickpocketJones]

The dumbest part of Robert's thinking is that the called QB runs were the plays that made the whole offense work. The option threat specifically froze opposing DE's which mattered because they couldn't block those guys in a normal drop back situation. Second, Robert NEVER took a bad hit on a called run, every bad hit he took was him extending pocket plays and being unable to slide. Robert sabotaged his own career.

[@grahamhorvath4042]

Life long skins fan here, fantastic video! I didn't even know about the college injuries and I followed RG3 very closely during his time in Washington. It is worth noting, the main reason he was so far removed from the starting position in 2015 was because of an injury clause he had in his contract. Him and cousins were nearing the end of their rookie deals and his contract had a MASSIVE bonus if he were to be injured; this was added in after some renegotiations and the team was not willing to risk that much money.

[@grahamhorvath4042]

It is also helpful to note, the team was constantly trying to teach him to protect himself. He was used to running over and through guys and when he got to the league that changed, he was never one to slide, and even when he did he often did it wrong and either hurt himself further or the team. By 2015 the team had little faith in his ability to protect himself from injury and that added to the fear of having to pay extra if he got injured in his last season.

For one thing, RGIII didn't learn how to slide until he went to the Browns, YEARS after taking multiple injuries. Given even just that one fact (among others) - he was never going to have a long career in the NFL.

[@mertonhirsch4734]

When he was drafted, my thoughts were, do you want Andrew Luck playing 15 games a year for 15 years, or RGIII playing 9 games a year for 9 years. RGII actually got closer, but RG III never plays double digit games per season for a decade as a starting QB in any number of parallel universes. I can't believe anyone thought he would last.

Happy Memorial Day Lauren❤

[@clevelandcbi]

You're absolutely WRONG about the Browns. Having suffered through decades of pain, I can confidently say the FO would have taken a punter and high-fived afterwards. 😢

You can’t be talking you look like two years old

[@SheGotSports]

LOLLLLL

[@johngassmann9581]

I saw an RG3 interview where he expressed remorse about playing hurt. The pressure on him was huge.

[@Vandalio_Saez]

Great video RG3 was very talented it's a shame he would of had a great career alot of heart however unwise should of sat out and fully healed when millions are at stake the pressure must be immense

[@ErikLeeTroche]

RG3 and Carson are case studies as to why it’s important to focus on health over trying to be the best. The best ability is availability and if you are available to perform your best, then that’s more important than rushing injuries that need time to heal. I remember that 2012 season and I thought RG3 was gonna be my fav quarterback. It’s a shame but he’s matured and he’s grown from it as a person

[@SheGotSports]

RG3 is a good twitter follow today lol!!

[@jeffreywhitlock4882]

He is somewhat of an enigma. He obviously had great talent. He needed some time to improve his footwork from the pocket in the West Coast offense. Had he been afforded that, he could have really been a long-term elite QB. Some of that is on him as well. Then the injuries too. Unfortunate situation tbh.

[@glenardensfinest]

Excellent Video! Great Job!

[@morpheusrising9534]

Often wondered if the drafting of Cousins that same draft didn't put more pressure RG3 to come back sooner. Also, gotta learn how to slide. That's largely the difference between him and Russ. Wentz hada problem with staying upright and I said he'd go down too and he eventually did.

[@Truthteller01]

Exactly. He admitted in an interview that he was nervous about Cousins

[@pamounier]

Already love your work.

[@KevinFrame-b8r]

This is sad, huge cowboys fan for eighteen years now. But man I have a big deal of love for RGIII

First vid of yours I watched great editing and narration ❤I subbed in girl amazing content ❤

[@jorodo299]

I remember Michael Vick not playing for Atlanta until he felt he was completely over an injury. Dab Reeves wanted him back, Vick (probably wisely) favoured the long-term over the short-term and Reeves ended up being fired.

2:16 that dap was so hard

[@SheGotSports]

Lol yeah it was

You've gained another sub from me, love your content, keep it coming✌️💯

[@itsmeforsure5475]

RG3 had one of the best college QB seasons ever. 4200 yds, 37 TDs and 6 Ints. I remembered watching the game when he was with the skins and his knee buckled when he was running. He didn't even get hit. That must have played on his physcee alittle.

[@Jay-fr9mn]

Really good video! She did a great job.

[@Will008]

Thank you for saying that! 18:03. I truly have always believe that Lamar Jackson is RG3 without the injuries.

[@Truthteller01]

Lamar is more multi talented and not as stubborn and arrogant

[@danielnigra1922]

There is something about your voice…. I love it. And that throwback of you in your Carson Wentz video you were adorable.

[@SheGotSports]

Haha thank you for taking the time to watch both vids!!

[@Gertieness]

Snyder AND RG3 created a monster Excellent vid TY!!

[@cliftonhayes1053]

I love your narration new Sub second video I'm love this channel

[@jesse1834]

Excellent video and analysis of RG3’s career. I also feel that NFL defenses figured him out just like they did with Kaepernick. Lamar Jackson was actually a pretty good passer in college and played well against NFL caliber competition. RG3 was lighting up cornerbacks like Justin Gilbert in the Big 12. RG3 couldn’t even get his college team to a New Years 6 or BCS bowl, but I guess the Alamo Bowl was like the National Championship for Baylor at the time.

[@dannyjacobson1381]

Great video I rather enjoyed it and a lot of insight

[@suntitan4429]

It is weird no one would want him at least for second or third string he does have a lot of natural ability

[@SheGotSports]

Yeah I was surprised no one wanted to sign him after the year with the Browns. Like even as a backup
