Let’s Keep The Current Problems Of RG3 In Perspective
RG3’s career is not lost—or at least it doesn’t have to be, if everyone involved makes good decisions.

The long-term problem though is what’s on my mind and it’s this—are the Redskins aware that yes, it is permissible to have a pass attempt more than five yards down the field? RG3 completed 15 of his first 16 passes and managed to accumulate less than 50 yards in the process. It wasn’t that he was doing anything wrong—the play appeared to be executed as called. It’s that he wasn’t doing anything at all.

I suppose I should be happy with the Washington Redskins getting another August victory, beating the Cleveland Browns 24-23 last night at FedEx Field. But in the first half, obviously the most significant in preseason play, I just found too much to get aggravated over.
We’re a few hours from kickoff of a preseason NFL Monday Night Game between the Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins, which means Johnny Manziel and Robert Griffin III get an early stage. It seemed like an ideal opportunity to go over some early thoughts on both of these quarterbacks, along with other high-profile young signal-callers.

What’s going to follow here is a reflection on the major events that have taken place within this organization, written from the perspective of a Redskins fan, and some definite opinions about where the team needs to go from here.
It’s the biggest night in the history of the Baylor-Oklahoma rivalry on Thursday night. Granted, given Baylor’s spotty football record there probably aren’t a lot of a candidates for the honor. But on Thursday, the Bears and Sooners play a game that will decide if Baylor is a legit national championship contender and if Oklahoma still has a shot to win the Big 12.
