Robert Griffin III Knocked Out of the Baltimore Game with Apparent Knee Injury
Robert Griffin III, the dynamic Washington rookie QB, got destroyed here by a Ravens defender, and had to leave the game. As you watch RGIII’s leg whip around in the air, you have to wonder about his knee for the remainder of the season.
RG3 was knocked out of a game earlier this season against Atlanta, also when he took off on a scramble. He did return to the Baltimore game briefly for a couple plays, but was helped off the field by teammates.
Kirk Cousins, the rookie backup, got the Redskins into the end zone and ran in the 2-point conversion to force OT.

Dear Redskin fans,
Just be grateful he doesn’t have a kennel full of pitbulls. Enjoy these first couple of seasons; it’ll all go downhill from here.
Sincerely,
Atlanta Falcons fans

Can’t believe Rat Face put him back in the game when he was limping and could barely walk.

Pretty sure the Browns win out, make the playoffs on the 7th tiebreaker and then win it all.

Saints-Giants is turning into the NFL version of ND-Michigan. The over/under on turnovers has to be 10 at this point.
December 9th, 2012 at 4:59 PM
Hey squawkbox,
Great job at “race baiting” to get a response. On what basis are you comparing RGIII to Michael Vick? You are a real tough-guy behind your network firewall, aren’t you?!?.
Stop trying to inject race into every possible topic, even when it is not remotely related.
December 9th, 2012 at 5:37 PM
Just in case dhardway isn’t kidding…
The RGIII–Vick comparison is obviously appropriate and not based on race.. They’re both super athletic QBs who wrecked shop in college and put on the same sort of show upon reaching the NFL. Squawk is saying they’re different in that RGIII is a character guy, not likely to be arrested and sentenced to prison. But that the distinction won’t matter given that a few years of NFL hits will deprive RGIII of that athleticism—injuries and natural wear and tear will have their effect.
Race wasn’t remotely involved in his comparison. Sure, they’re both black, but that doesn’t mean comparisons between them are based on race. RGIII could only possibly be compared to a few MNFL quarterbacks ever to play in the NFL. Vick is one of them.
December 9th, 2012 at 5:42 PM
thanks dhardway – I did laugh.
December 9th, 2012 at 5:57 PM
Squawk is indeed a monster. Just this weekend, he insisted that I was still a Saints fan.
December 9th, 2012 at 6:26 PM
Manziel plays just like RG3 and Vick. Figure that one out dhardway.
December 9th, 2012 at 7:19 PM
what’s your point?
December 9th, 2012 at 7:29 PM
RGIII came into the NFL as a more accomplished passer than Vick by far. The only comparison to them is they’re athletic and Black. It was a lazy comparison made by an idiot Falcons fan who swung and missed at trying to make a point. The bottom line is until the chosen one currently QB’ing for the Falcons wins a playoff game, he won’t be as accomplished for the Falcons as Vick. Also, get rid of the intellecutal laziness and look for QB’s like Young, Staubach, Fran Tarkenton, to compare RGIII to, each who entered the league as running QB’s. Or damn, if it has to be by race, at least Randall Cunningham.
December 9th, 2012 at 7:33 PM
a lot of folks have been saying Vick/RG3 for awhile. Guys at Pro Football Focus (stat guys Peter King uses in MMQB) have talked about it.
RG3 is far more accurate, though.
December 9th, 2012 at 7:37 PM
Yeah – I’m lazy. But only in the sense that RG3′s stats will be closer to Vick’s 2nd year in the league (full season as a starter), rather than his rookie league. My bad. They have no similarities whatsoever.
December 9th, 2012 at 7:44 PM
RGIII vs Fran Tark in a race… I’m taking RGIII, even with the knee injury. “Running QB” isn’t the same as “game-changing speed/athleticism” QB. Settle down Darrell.
December 9th, 2012 at 7:47 PM
Though I kind of like the Cunningham comp, just based on the impact of the game. But I didn’t see much of him in his heyday. And I saw (and same for Squawk I assume) didn’t see Staubach or Tark play at all. It makes it tough to make those comps… so he went with the guy who had the most similar athletic profile, impactful speed, and was within recent-enough memory to make a comp.
December 9th, 2012 at 8:32 PM
They don’t have to race, they just have to scramble. In that case they’re similar.
December 9th, 2012 at 8:39 PM
You’re either lazy or you’re a dumb Falcons attempting to fit your disdain for Michael Vick into a conversation about RGIII. Are you saying that because RGIII and Michael Vick have similar numbers in their first year as starters that RGIII will experience a decline in the next few years because Vick experienced this decline? Does having the same stats mean they have the same study habits and level of maturity at the same stage? Do those attributes have nothing to do with the development of a player?
