The Blue Board

hes gonna get wrecked in the press for this. hopefully he didnt damage griffen's knee permanently

Being a Skins fan I have to agree. RG3 shoulda been benched in favor of Kirk after he came up lame in the first quarter.

What if RG3 wanted to play

With the field in that condition and RG3 limping around in the first, Shanahan should absolutely have pulled him.

Then, like, the coach says no. The player wanting to play is essentially assumed in these situations.

It's the playoffs, he's a team captain, he loves the game, his teammates, no person would sit in that situation. I wouldn't have no matter what my doctors or coaches said

Pinch hitting = playing QB?

Exactly they are an investment. Why the fvck would you risk your investment for short term gain when you know you have a hedge that can execute in the near short term and the long short term?

Hello, you play to win the game. You play...to win the game.

The same Shanahan that gave up on the team, after the loss to the Panthers?

He said he was gonna be evaluating players and seeing who's gonna be there for yrs to come, since he thought the season was over then.

I guess RG3 hadn't proved it yet.

100% blame on the center or you could blame the OC, shouldn't be calling shotgun plays with RG3 in that condition.

If the kid wants to play, you play him. Period.

I said before that you can't consistently run a read option in the NFL. Eventually, the QB will get killed. They can sprinkle it in every now and then, but they need to run things more traditionally next year.
