Not that I disliked the Redskins before but ever since they got RG3 and I've seen how he plays I've gotta say I'm impressed! The Packers were my NFC team because Aaron Rodgers is fun to watch with a football in his hands but from now on the Redskins will be my NFC team merely because of RG3. Plus, the guy has a good head on his shoulders and seems like he's good people. His recent comments about Ray Lewis only confirm my feelings.
How about you guys?
I think that they are a team on the rise. When the Steelers beat them at Heinze Field in October the score was not indicative to how close that game was. RG3s receivers dropped a lot of balls that game that were put right on the money. His accuracy and leadership were impressive. The Ravens got their work cut out for them this Sunday.
The Skins have been my "second team" since the Ravens came. I rooted for them before we got a team and before Snyder took over the ownership.
I'm happy to see them doing well, but they're a distant second.
Yes. They have a playmaker at the most important position on the team. Rather than Rex Grossman and John Beck.
Nothing could make me even remotely like the Landover Racialslurs. That's nice that Griffin seems like class act but so is/was Peyton Manning and that didn't make me want to go rooting for the Clots.
I have but one team in football that represents MY CITY. I don't require a second team and cannot fathom those with the desire to have an NFC team or a second favorite. To me it's like having a mistress and a wife. Some do it, but it's not my cup of tea.:)
Yeah, because of RGIII, now I think the Redskins are a good team.
Before, I didn't.
nope...I wish failure on anything lil' Danny touches.....
I think RG3 is an extraordinary talent who is far too humble and talented to be stuck in DC....
I never thought much of the Redskins. Dan Snyder is a loser. Before the draft though I could see how RGIII would be the ultimate Shanahan QB. He can do everything Plummer did only much better. The idea was exciting and now that it's happened it's been a lot of fun to watch. I can't see myself ever pulling for the Redskins but I really enjoy watching that offense.
It has softened my dislike for them. He seems like a real genuine human being, a fantastic football player and I want to pull for him to be a success.
There one of my favourite teams to watch. Them and San Fran because of sf defence.
Doesn't mean I root for them
I feel the same, it is hard not to like RGIII and the Redskins.Quote:

I hate the Skins after living and working in D.C./Northern VA for the better part of the last five years. I respect London Fletcher and RG3 though.
Just so we're clear, the Ravens will ALWAYS be my #1 team and that'll never change. At the same time, I'm also a fan of football and can appreciate great players when they come along. You mentioned Peyton Manning and I would agree that I didn't become a fan of the "Clots" because of him but the situation with the Colts and the city of Baltimore is a little different and we all know why. While I despise Shittsburgh it doesn't mean I don't appreciate Big Ben as a football player. Same goes for guys like Megatron, Arian Foster, Aaron Rodgers, etc. because they're great and make this game what it is. I like watching good football games and players like RG3 are fun to watch. I'll be rooting for him in the NFC East because he could be remembered as one of the greats when its all said and done.Quote:

Maybe I'm just too young.. but regardless I do really like RG3. I think he's a great person and player. I enjoyed watching him at Baylor, and I knew the 'skins got a solid franchise QB when they drafted him even after giving up the farm to get him. You couldn't ask for a better person and player to build a team around. That being said I hope he loses Sunday. :D
Not living in baltimore i dlnever really had the distaste for them like some around here. Theyre still poorly run but my opinion of them changed with shanahan. Ive like him back since his broncos days and hes always built steady winners. You can see the direction and theyll certainly be in contention the next few years. Rg3 helps make that possible but for me its shanahan that started it.
Wow! Who would've thought that a Peter Angleos owned team and a Danny Snyder owned team would be talking playoffs in the same year? What's next, a Jerry Jones team making it?
Washington does not deserve RGIII.
RGIII has a lot of Ray Rice in him. They both make plays that can't believe you've just witness. They are also tremendous leaders who other players are very willing to follow. Both are great off the field too. They are the kind of guys you hope your daughter marries. The Ravens and Redskins are very lucky to have them on their respective teams.
Those fucks and their fucking owner tried to fucking force feed me that garbage team with the racist nickname every Sunday and keep me from having a team of my own to enjoy, for years.Quote:

Ok what a player to have at your disposal on offense but they can run the ball and routinely have recievers wide open! ......Umm alot of teams can actually. Ffs makes me depressed even thinking about it.
