RG3 Very much interested in the Rams

[DaveFan'51]

How should I put this ...

" NO!!"

 

[Ram_Rally]

This should've been done. Pretty positive that he's better than case. Rg3 in a run heavy system would do wonders. And to those who say that he's an egomaniac, what's more motivating to an egomaniac than proving doubters wrong?

if he pulls out an operation patience shirt at the rams i may lose it.



what kind of person would entertain the idea of this let alone actually make one and wear it in public?

I can't believe nobody has thought of making a movie out of a guy bagging groceries going on to win a superbowl.

No updates in over a year, though. And I doubt any movie would be as good as the real thing.

NFL Source: Robert Griffin III wants to play for Rams in Los Angeles
Posted on March 10, 2016 by Vincent Bonsignore

The Rams want to upgrade their quarterback position. And it looks like a former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year wants to be that upgrade.

Robert Griffin III “very much” wants to play for the Rams in Los Angeles, a source close to the situation indicated on Thursday.

The fit seems like a natural, although it comes with risk after RG3 lost his starting job with the Washington Redskins and was ultimately released last week after four seasons in the nation’s capitol.

Nevertheless, the Rams can surround him with a strong supporting cast that includes dynamic young running back Todd Gurley – the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year – playmaker Tavon Austin, an improved offensive line and a solid defense.

In other words, RG3 won’t have to carry the Rams as much as he just needs to compliment them. And that seems appealing to a player trying to revive his career with a change of scenery.

The best year of RG3’s career came in 2012 when he and Redskins running back Alfred Morris beautifully played off each other. Operating out of the zone-read offense, the powerful legs of Morris and RG3 combined for 2,431 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns, and their running threat helped open up the passing game for RG3, who threw for 3,200 yards and 20 touchdowns and compiled a 102.4 quarterback rating.

It was a spectacular rookie season to be sure, one in which Griffin became the youngest player in NFL history to post a perfect 158.3 passer rating while throwing for 200 yards and four touchdowns against the Eagles. He established rookie records for best QB rating and best TD-to-interception ratio. The Redskins made the playoffs for the first time since 2007, and RG3 was voted team captain by his peers and named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Apparently, the possibility operating in the same backfield as Gurley along with the threat that Austin has sparked legitimate interest in RG3.

There is risk.

As good as that 2012 season was, it also set the stage for three ensuing years of drama thanks to a late-season leg injury that Griffin obviously returned from too soon. The resulting dysfunction pitted coaches and player and team doctors against each other, with everyone absorbing and deflecting the blame for letting RG3 back on the field too soon.

And it ultimately sent the Redskins scurrying around changing coaches and offensive systems figuring out ways to best protect and utilize their prized young quarterback.

But when they finally settled on Jay Gruden, it created the worst-possible situation for RG3: He was a square peg in Gruden’s drop-back pass offense. But his teammate, Kirk Cousins, was built perfectly for it.

Which is why the Redskins just slapped Cousins with the franchise tag, and why RG3 is looking for a job.

For all those reasons, any team – including the Rams – should be wary of the former Baylor great.

There is the potential reward.

RG3 did not play one snap last year, which means his body is as healthy as possible. So many of his problems in Washington, D.C., were related to the injuries – a fact even Gruden supported – so it only stands to reason a healthy bodied RG3 might also be a spiritually sound RG3.

The breath of fresh air created by moving out of the drama of Washington, D.C., to the warmth and promise of the Los Angeles Rams might just be the key that unlocks the trapped star still residing in RG3.

It likely won’t require a monumental investment. RG3 is so eager to re-establish himself, he’ll no doubt be interested in a short-term show-me contract that allows him to regain his footing while maintaining the flexibility to tap back into the financial market sooner rather than later.

That makes sense for the Rams, who can then use the 15th pick on a much-needed wide receiver to compliment Austin – and RG3 – and circle back to a development quarterback in the second or third round.

If it works, the Rams might have found the 26-year-old quarterback of their present and future.

If it doesn’t, they can easily and quickly move on.

'Circle back to a "developmental" QB in the second or third round????'
I thought we had one of those. alm:

 

[RamBall]

The #1 reason why RG3 wants to play for the Rams is because the only time he would face the Rams D he would be wearing a red hands off jersey.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Can RG3 win over a locker room?

If he's matured, he's worth a shot. But that's the question.

 

[Boston Ram]

Please no

 

[UKram]

It's 12 am I'm about to got to sleep after a long Arse day ....I hope I don't wake up to a Rams sign rg3 headline ... Can we move up in the draft and get our own QB and not someone broken cast off

 

[LesBaker]

Gotta love journalism these days. He was asked if he would be interested and he said he would be. It's been turned into an online love fest about how he wants to come to the Rams. This is what happens when "reporters" or "journalists" start rehashing each others work. It's one of the downsides to the internet, not unlike porn.

Worse than that posters are thinking he's willing to sign a short term prove it deal. Whaaaaattttt?

LOL look at what marginal QB's with no resume are getting paid these days. Someone is going to hand Griffin 14-18 MIL per year.

Do you want that team to be our Rams??????????

If you answered yes I am sending @Username to dickpunch you 50 bazillion times a day for the next 50 bazillion years.

Would it be fun to trot him out with the other players from "the trade" next time the Snyder-bunghole's team plays the Rams.....yes it would be. But only if he was 3rd string.

 

[TK42-RAM]

I'd prefer him over Manziel.

1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times this !!!

That's one of many questions I have.

His play brings up a lot of questions. Locker room aside.........there are a lot of negatives.

Imagine not being able to post a winning record with all of *their* draft picks, and compounding it by not being able to win with all of *their* draft picks, AND the player they took instead of all those draft picks. Fisher wouldn't be able to get a job coaching Pop Warner for the all-girl Pahokee Peaches under 13 team. Never gonna happen.

 

[Juice]

Ever since I heard he was working on his new symbol for his brand after his first season, I thought how lucky we were not to have him on the team. I then heard him throw his teammates under the bus, I thought how long he was going to last in Washington. When I heard that he did not have the respect of the offensive line, I thought that I never want to see him in horns.

Listen to Bonsignore Talk RG3 and Rams

 

[fancents86]

I would rather smoke a bowl filled with my own pubes every Sunday than watch that man-baby under center for us.

 

[Ajb44]

They were pretty adamant about adding an outside qb to compete. Curious to see how the rest of fa / draft p turn out. Can we fast forward

 

[hotanez]

I would rather smoke a bowl filled with my own pubes every Sunday than watch that man-baby under center for us.

Lol

 

[RamFan503]

Lets do it. One step closer to my 3QB formation.

Everyone in the pistol. Case in the middle, Gurley to his right, RG3 to his left, Hekker behind. Is it the wildcat? Option? Draw? Run? Pass? Punt? Fake? Nobody knows!


(it's an incompletion)

You miss the blue font thingy my friend?
