Time to cut Rambo?

[TCB]

First he wiffs on Henne and allows him to scamper for 15 yards and a first down. Then the blown play on the Lewis td. Robinson is better. Nacho is better. Davis is not ready but better. Enough

another example of why i dont watch college football & why most who do have no clue how talent will translate to the nfl ...

because i distinctly remember people creaming themselves over this guy falling to us ..

i remember people expecting him to go as high as the 2nd round if it wasnt for a possession charge ?

regardless of how much time goes by ...

ncaaa accomplishments < nfl career

Our defense has given up a total of 20 points in two games and Rambo was a starter in both games.


People want to give RG3, the 2nd pick in the draft, 5 years to develop into an average QB but don't want to give a sixth round pick any time to develop...oh the hypocrisy.

You watch the game?

Since the answer is probably no and you tried to divert the subject I will let you know what happened.

Rambo was benched in the 2nd half for Robinson after Rambo looked lost and played like shit. Robinson had a decent game including our only interception. A pick that Rambo couldn't make in 100 years.
I am sure that Rambo is now hoping he can play on special teams as barring an injury to someone else, his playing time is just about done.

Heh @ the 5 year/Griff comment, but interesting point nonetheless.

Last week's TD wasn't all on Rambo imo. He did take a terrible angle today on the TD. Regarding a DB who takes terrible angles. I'm not a big watcher of college ball either, but I remember when Laron Landry was all the rage and gave a lotta Skins fans woodies after he was drafted. He took terrible angles as well. If a DB takes terrible angles, well, not a whole lot that can be done imo no matter how fast/talented they are.

 

[martinez]

Idc if he's cut or not, he just shouldn't be starting. Meriweather time

 

[Mskins]

Let's see :

- He's not a good run defender
- He's not good in coverage
- He's not a good tackler
- He takes bad angle
- He doesn't have elite speed to recover
- He doesn't play ST

So where's the potential to develop here ? But I don't blame him because like martinez said he shouldn't be starting. I'm not even sure he should be on an NFL roster.

Yeah he got benched yesterday because while I was at the game I noticed Trenton Robinson playing, now as for Rambo not playing special teams..well I definitely saw him playing special teams yesterday

There is a big difference. RG3 has shown flashes (probably more) of what he can become. What has Rambo shown? His poor tackling was the hit on him in college. He hasn't improved. Why would we think he will in the future?

You really don't know what the word hypocrisy means if you think it applies here. For starters, the defense has given up 20 points but 14 of them were directly attributable to Rambo blowing a basic football play for a defender, taking a decent angle and tackling. He can't master the basics.

2nd, do you really think 6th round picks should be compared to high first round picks in terms of their development? How much scouting goes into a 6th round pick vs the 2nd overall pick in the draft? DId you raise this sort of faux indignant outrage when we cut Bolser, or Hocker, or Brandon Jenkins, or last year when we cut Jameson? Of course you didn't. Because you're just reaching to stir up crap.

Good luck reasoning with this poster Kick. Seriously.

Give it a rest. How about simply answering the question in terms of your opinion and not devolving this thread into an RG3 discussion or an attack on your fellow Redskins fans. You quite often seem to post here with the intent of taking on the whole board. Cmon - we are all fellow Redskins fans & our main goal is for the team to win.

What I saw yesterday (granted it was against the Jaguars) was a dominant defense save for a few poor plays by a safety who appears to be in over his head. I see nothing wrong with questioning whether the Redskins should cut him.

Wow there are some really bad posters on this site. Most are great but the few bad ones really stick out

I thought for sure you were intelligent enough to know my answer from my post. The same way I said you don't cut RG3 because of poor play, you don't cut Rambo.

It's not an attack to call a hypocrite a hypocrite. I am not trying to take on the whole board...I am bringing an opinion some of you don't share.

Your last paragraph wreaks of the hypocrisy I am referring to. What is wrong with questioning if RG3 should be starting if you don't properly use him? Why is it OK to want Rambo cut when he makes a mistake? If you can't see growth in Rambo...you aren't actually watching.

OK a little Devils advocate here. But honestly MORE research should go into late round picks. That is where you find your Gems. If a guy picked in the top ten ends up in the Pro bowl, you kind of expect it at some point. And fact is, that #2 pick... EVERY ONE on the planet who follows the NFL has done some kind of research on these top ten type guys.

Bottom line is MORE research should go into later round picks, and Rambo should NOT have been starting last year or this year.

Actually poor play is exactly why most players get cut. Some players get more leeway than others. 1st round picks vs 6th round picks just being one example.
