A grown man isn't going to let his daddy rule him that much. That whole "I wanna be Aaron Rodgers" spiel might have been RGIII's own thoughts. He also put himself on the spot with the "I'll be back by opening day" deadline, which probably did him no favors for long term effectiveness. The reality was that it was lawlessness in terms of read option protection back then, and RGIII might have wanted to save his career. As an aside, it is also a myth that pocket passers are "safer". No they are not. The good ones are just more "adept" at playing QB because they had to be.IIRC RG2 lead to all the problems...RG3 might have been a real athlete and team guy out there, if RG2 didn't exist in that lockerroom, or in his life all those years.
anyhoo...
HOLY SHIT!!! ahd people over watching tonight. the two of us that know foootball were super fucking shocked and also entertained. the rest were...really also entertained. lol.
Having dealt with military guys to a light extent, their communications are not to be trusted at face value. It's really not different from dealing with a politician.
RGIII might have had straight line speed but his evasiveness and agility were awkward and did not help him in terms of "tight space evasiveness".
Jayden Daniels is properly "surgical". A Tom Brady or Joe Montana level of awareness and knowledge that manifests in "making the play", and it manifests in the most stressful of moment. Something none of the prior QBs had.
