RG3, the will to win

[apratt21]

Airing tonight on ESPN at 7p est. Not sure if any of you feel like RG3 is out there in the spotlight to much, but this should be interesting.

 

[Warpath]

Looking forward to it.

Here's something of a preview...

RG III: Strongman Competition - ESPN Video - ESPN

Screw all the RG3 hype, i get he is a good kid but this is ridiculous. I hate to say this but odds are the kids won't be in the NFL in 5 years because of injury issues. He has already had two knee surgeries and the odds are very good he'll have another because of the stress he puts on his knees. I just don't think he is worth the hype right now but i understand why the media exploiting him because he is a good story.

No i won't watch.

Thanks for clearing that up. We were all sitting here wondering if you were going to watch or not.

Well if rave isn't watching I guess I won't either. GTFO

 

[SoCalWizFan]

you're welcome.

Just another misguided Ravens fan who for some unknown reason is obsessed by the Redskins. Too funny. Why do you even care about this team? I know that most Redskins fans could give a crap about the Ravens.

Pretty much. Only time I care about the Ravens is when we are playing them.

But he had one thing right, RG3 is a good story. Lots of people will watch it. Including people who aren't Redskin fans.

It's that age-old Bmore - DC envy. They know they'll never be DC. So, they just hate.

Some baltimoron writer made a list of 100 reasons baltimore is better than DC. A dc journalist responded and pretty much ruined his list. Envy indeed.

Funny stuff guys - I will have to check out that list.

 

[Warpath]

The fact that there is a list is all you need to know really. As a Washingtonian it never crossed my mind to compare DC to Baltimore or make a list. Don't care.

 

[SoCalWizFan]

I would bet the house that - in spite of his post - our buddy from Baltimore will be watching this special.

 

[apratt21]

Never knew he was doing so much even before mini camp. The guy may be all over the place in the media but what his body has done in that short time is remarkable. Im looking at him running and cutting and then I see "91 days till game one" appear on the TV. No way he doesn't start against Philly.

 

[Warpath]

Haters can say what they want. I'm glad he's our qb and wouldn't trade him for anyone else in the league.

we have a smack talk thread where this belongs

 

[SaintGibbs]

I've said it before, but I'd root for this kid no matter who he played for.

I really liked his 'I Love Haters' socks.

Got a big smile when he referenced all the doubting he was getting in the media. He's got a chip on his shoulder right now. That's bad news for the rest of the NFL.

 

[SoCalWizFan]

Good special. It provided us with access to areas that we usually cannot view.

One good thing about this special was that it reinforced how RG3 is such a competitor that the doctors, trainers, team, etc have to hold him back to make sure that he did not rush his recovery & risk further injury. IMO - that kind of refutes the whole Shanahan / RG3 feud.

According to this special - it appeared since day 1 that RG3 tried to rush things & the team & doctors did what they could to keep him in check. As part of this - RG3 repeatedly agreed that it was for his own good. I saw no signs of animosity towards anyone on the team.

The work ethic for this guy is off the charts. I can't believe that he was performing high intensity workouts in Vegas just hours after two all night bachelor parties. Incredible. His physical makeup as well as his attitude help explain why he can recover so quickly.
