Is RG3 done?

    The fact that his family/entourage even has special rules that need to be revoked says so much. Weren't the Skins denying that for a long time?

    The real downside here is that Snyder might be figuring it out and moving toward running a functional NFL franchise. That would be no fun.

    I think in 2012, Kaepernick and RG3 benefited from teams not fully knowing what they were capable of doing. It's amazing the difference when a team has a year of NFL tape to watch of a certain QB. You would think it wouldn't be that much of an issue, but I think it is.

    RG3 may not be the player he was two years ago because of the injury. Kaepernick is a little tougher to figure out. He's had more success because he has a better team around him, but he's not even remotely close to being the same player he was two years ago and he doesn't have the excuse of a coaching change or an injury.

    I think the two quarterbacks are very similar, but RG3 still thinks he can do no wrong, or that the bulk of the team's issues aren't his fault. I don't think Kaepernick has ever felt that way, because he's never been fully embraced by the fan base.

    RG3 does not think he can do no wrong. I'm not sure he accepts any of the blame, but he's well aware that he's sucked out loud recently.

    Garcon on curing the offensive woes: "What's it going to take? Throw to the receivers. There were a lot of opportunities. Didn't take them."

    Sucked out loud is such funny saying.

    Tis better to suck in silence and be thought of as terrible than to suck out loud and remove all doubt.

    If you're a NFL GM with a high pick and a need at QB, do you avoid taking a QB like RG3 or Kaepernick there?

    I heard there was another Garcon quote that was awesome. Someone asked him if he liked running the WR option pass, which resulted in an impressive 60-yard bomb that also sailed way out of bounds. Garcon: "I thought to myself, 'It's come to this?'" Something along those lines.

    Kaepernick is better at sucking in silence than RG3. He just puts his Beats on and falls back into his own suckitude. :D

    Q: "Were you excited to show off your arm strength?"
    A: "Not at all."

    Yes, he seems confused by his struggles, which is a huge part of the problem.

    You forgot the rest of his answer.

    “Not at all,” Garcon said when asked if he was excited for the chance to show off his cannon of an arm. “I was like, ‘This is where we’ve come?’ ”

    Such a great quote:

    "Not at all. I was like, this is where we've come?"
