    Perfect stated. For a couple of weeks I've been thinking about posting a similar comment.

    If you love one horse more than another, fine. No need to diminish one to make the other look better. Let's all just enjoy both guys.

    Today's numbers were pretty sick.

    14/15 200 yds 4 TDs
    84 yds rushing on 12 attempts

    i still dont trust the Shanahans and their terrible systematic play-calling

    imagine Sean Payton, or Andy Reid coaching RG3

    I only saw about 15-20 plays and RG3 was indeed sick. But the long bomb to Moss was mostly luck.

    free play

    also that throw was pretty well-thrown between 2 defenders

    they still have issues, Alfred Morris seems to get most of his yards from opposing defenses focusing on RG3. And if the Shanahans dont call more pass plays on 3rd down for RG3 instead of handoffs, the Skins might set a record for worst 3rd down conversion % in a season

    Good to see Garcon back( but he took one for the team, his foot is still bothering him)

    RG3 wasn't aware of that. After the game, one of the guys on Fox said he admitted the pass never should have been thrown.

    I wish more players would make that pass. It was 3rd and 10, right? So even if it's intercepted, it's a perfect 60 yard punt. You don't do it on first down or deeper on your side of the field, but for where he was, it was a very low-risk type situation (only negative is if it's intercepted AND run back pretty far).

    RG3 is a beast


    10 td's and 2 ints againist NFC EAST opponents, and should have won all 3 games except for a gafe by the Skins D on Cruz late

    bright future for this kid

    Outside of the Texans, I couldn't have asked for a better destination for RG III. He's beating the Cowboys already :grin:

    Here's to RG 3 signing with the Texans once his rookie deal is done. You can't ask for a better fit for both sides esp if Kubiak is still around.

    RG3 over the last 2 games, has as many touchdown passes and incompletions. You can't even do that in Madden. WTF!!!

    He did that for a stretch in college and it was remarkable...to do it in the pros is just ridiculous.

    I think he did it through 5 games. That is crazy.

    Alex Smith in the last 2 games he has played has 4 TDs to 2 incompletions, and he just lost his starting job.

    Harbaugh has never liked Alex Smith probably due to his inconsistency. That said Harbaugh is an ass for screwing over Smith like this.

    BTW, the next time Smith throws for 4 TDs in a game will be his first.

    I'm probably the biggest RG3 fanboy on the board that didn't go to Baylor. What RG3 has done this year is unprecedented. Has there ever been a rookie that you could argue for being the MVP of the league? 20 TD's versus only 4 ints. That is crazy!!!!

    20TD's and 5 INT's IS INSANE FOR A ROOKIE

    Don't sweat it. Tipped passes happen and they got the win anyway.

    More importantly, Redskins can win the division next week and get a home game in the wild card round. That would be great experience for RG3.

    If they win next week. I would pick them to come out of the NFC. Then again, I'm a big fanboy.
