Time for RG3 to retire.

[thecore762]

I feel bad for him, he has been injured every season because of his stupidity and kept trying to make plays and getting injured.
I think its time for him to call it quits.

 

[chasa]

time for people to stop telling other people what to do with their lives.

Has there been a story like his before? ROokie of the year... to injuries and teammates hating you and doubting your commitment... to a new start where your coaching staff doubts your ability to read defenses... to injuries reserve... to maybe not being in the league soon? Just odd.

Shanny tossed him under the bus, overloaded the bus, and drove back and forth about 7 times. He probably could've had a decent career otherwise.

As a resident of northeast Ohio, the biggest story about RG3's debut with the Browns was how his performance compared with the Eagles' QB. Wentz was the guy the Browns could have (many say should have) drafted and he widely outplayed RG3. Browns fans are so discouraged that they are already talking about the team going 0-16 this year

Don't tell me what to tell people what to do!

We are so lucky in NE.

I don't know if there's been one exactly like that, but looking back at the rookie of the year list for offensive players makes me realize it isn't really a good predictor of anything.

Some of the recent AP offensive ROY winners are RGIII (2012), Bradford (2010), Percy Harvin (2009), Vince Young (2006), and Cadillac Williams (2005). Some of them had flashes here and there but never really worked out for one reason or another.

Meanwhile, the AP defensive ROYs have looked pretty amazing. Marcus Peters won last year, and Aaron Donald the year before, and they're still young so we will have to see. But here are the other winners, most recent first:

Sheldon Richardson, Kuechly, Von Miller, Suh, Cushing, Mayo, Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Merriman, Vilma, Suggs, and Peppers before you hit a guy who didn't really live up to the hype, Kendrell Bell in 2001.

So who will Brady's return game be against come week 5, who is CLE's backup?

 

[Nehalem]

Why should he retire? If you think about it he is basically getting paid ~$5m this year to have a broken bone.

I bet a lot of people would take having one broken bone to get paid $5m.

Most likely Josh McCown. I guess, not sure what will happen.

Awesome, Converted. How long did it take you to do this research? Thanks for posting it.

Not long, Wikipedia has everything so I didn't do much

maybe...but they wouldn't be happy about it if they thought they could be getting $50m for it...

I had enough of RG3 when his dad went into the locker room to ***** at the coaches for him.

 

[Patjew]

RG3 probably has the best job in the country.

Why would he retire if someone will continue to pay him to be a big hunk of glass?
He probably made more per snap than any NFL player 3 years running

Cadillac was the real deal up until injuries screwed him over. Torn patellar tendons are pretty much a career death sentence for RBs, that he came back at all is pretty impressive. Kendrell Bell was a weird one: he started out really strong, won DROY. Then he just kinda fell off the face of the earth. Kinda makes him a weirdly good RG3 comp.

I agree overall, though. I blame gimmick offenses - they can make players look great in college in ways that don't necessarily translate to the NFL. That isn't as much the case with defense - there are some roles that don't translate so well to the NFL, namely the 220-230 pound pass rusher in the vein of Aaron Maybin, Dion Sims, Vic Beasley, etc. But for the most part, guys are playing the same essential role they'll play in the NFL.

It's really hard to feel sorry for him. He seems incredibly narcissistic. Coming into the league thinking himself God's gift to football (an opinion apparently shared by his dad), blaming his teammates, refusing to stay in the pocket and accept that this isn't college anymore and he's fragile. It's pretty telling when your teammates all hate you.

Don't tell me what to tell people what to do!

Maybe you should be told to tell people what not to do ... if you decide it's in their best interests.
