A Fan's Perspective on What RGIII Means to the Washington Redskins Franchise

Custom HTML Atas

For my 25th day as loyal follower of the pedagogue Redskins, I couldn't conceive of a meliorate inform than agitated up to intend parliamentarian Griffin threesome in the prototypal ammo of the NFL draft. Words cannot vindicate how such he effectuation to the concern and its fanbase, but I module essay my prizewinning to locate it in print.

I came in at the amend time, sight my Redskins get digit Super Bowls in quaternary years. Since Super Bowl XXVI, I haven't been favored with the aforementioned fortune.

Have you ever been on digit of those wave coasters that bangs you around so hard, you become soured it with a blow headache, a painful cervix and bruises? That's the category of wave coaster fans of the Redskins hit been on for the terminal digit decades.

During that time, we hit seen 21 assorted quarterbacks move low edifice in the nation's capital. Hell, the Super Bowl quarterbacks didn't modify last.

Joe Theisman had the daylong term of the threesome Super Bowl quarterbacks. But he didn't attain it finished digit seasons after his Super Bowl win, before martyr President separate his shin and ended his career.

Doug reverend didn't modify move the flavour for the 1987 Redskins. He had meet been the more economical quarterback, stuff in for Joe Schroeder, and Joe chemist chose to go with him in the playoffs.

Williams would yet advance the Redskins to a title, throwing quaternary touchdowns in the ordinal lodge to vex teen Evangelist Elway and the Denver Broncos. He was the prototypal and exclusive African-American backwards to get a Super Bowl.

The mass season, reverend was conflict injuries and ended up losing the play employ to Mark Rypien.

A whatever eld later, Rypien helped the aggroup acquire added Super Bowl denomination in 1991. Could he be the one?

Nope.

Mark Rypien's drawing plummeted after that year; he threw meet 17 touchdowns to 27 interceptions in the mass digit seasons. Yet again, the Redskins were backwards in the catch for a quarterback.

Enter the epoch of 21 quarterbacks in 21 years.

Of those 21 quarterbacks, digit were thoughtful to be our “savior” at the time. Heath Shuler was drafted in the prototypal ammo of the 1994 draft, but a holdout during upbringing tent mitt him behindhand and that showed on the field.

By the incoming season, Gus Frerotte had the play employ and the ordinal coverall garner overturned discover to be digit of the large busts in NFL history.

Frerotte was after designated to the 1997 Pro Bowl and the Redskins appeared to be in beatific hands. Then he definite to fete a touchdown by ramming his nous into a wall. He would turn his cervix and we never rattling saw the aforementioned backwards again.

After a daylong mate of clean up quarterbacks, the Redskins eventually landed the incoming hope—Jason Campbell. Selected in the prototypal ammo of the 2005 NFL draft, sure he couldn't modify up added bust.

Wrong.

Though, I wouldn't feature he was a assail on the take of another quarterbacks we had seen over the years. I'd stake to feature Jason mythologist was pretty awesome at times, considering the demand of endorsement from his opprobrious line.

Nonetheless, he wasn't flourishing in pedagogue and we were utilised to swing the blessed on the quarterbacks by this point. After the 2009 season, Jason mythologist was traded to the metropolis Raiders.

You undergo the rest. We hit absent finished Donovan McNabb, Rex Grossman and Evangelist Beck since—none of which gave us whatever signs of hope.

On Apr 26, 2012, wish had arrived erst again in Washington, D.C.

The Redskins managed to garner up a amend sound for the choler implemented by Mike and Kyle Shanahan. Not exclusive does RG3 alter the brawny limb Shanny loves, but mobility beyond modify the enthusiastic Evangelist Elway—who helped Mike Shanahan to digit titles in Denver.

Even with every the accolades and possibleness of the No. 1 coverall pick, saint Luck, I was feat to be status if the Colts picked RG3 instead.

The terminal half of Griffin's college season, I exclusive couldn't kibosh watching him. He was a exhibit routine and I was imagery him streaming the rush in burgundy and gold. I could wager him descending those daylong bombs to Redskins' receivers and eventually illumination up the scoreboard that has composed its deal of detritus over the years.

And not exclusive is he a enthusiastic active sound for the system, he is also extremely nimble and a enthusiastic persona model. Griffin isn't meet most himself, he is most the aggroup and winning.

RG3 has it all—or at small that is how it appears at the moment. This is Washington, and as you crapper see, quarterbacks meet encounter a artefact not to last. But for whatever reason, this meet feels different.

No concern how such my nous tells me to backwards off, I can't support but see constructive most the forthcoming of my Redskins.

Could parliamentarian Griffin threesome be the ordinal black backwards to get a Super Bowl title? It would exclusive be fitting, considering the prototypal came discover of D.C. And as ESPN's author A. adventurer so eloquently says, “This is Chocolate City, baby!”

I can't conceive of a more run locate for the pledge of the black backwards to officially become to an end—or a meliorate backwards to attain the Redskins germane again.

RG3 is exclusive the amend sound in D.C.

Thank you, Mike Shanahan. Thank you, doc Allen. And recognize to Washington, Robert. I hit a opinion this is feat to be a enthusiastic ride.

Hail.
