I think personally that by working with Lamar for 3 years, that gave RG3 a new love and respect for the game. Look at his smile on the sideline of the ravens games compared to his time in Cleveland. With Lamar he was able to give his insane knowledge of the game to someone with a very similar skill set as himself, and prevent Lamar from making the same mistakes Robert did. I truly think that is what kept him around until 2020, bc otherwise I could see him retiring at end of 2018 if Flacco was left as the Ravens starter.
@@Zack_410 agreed. Idk how much RG3 played a role but the more time him and Lamar spent on the same team the more Lamar would slide and run out of bounds instead of risking injuries to get a few extra yards. As a ravens fan it’s nice to see and it’s good that RG3 was able to enjoy the last few years of his career and he’s a fantastic commentator
I've got to be honest. This video really opened my eyes. When I first saw Rob's career end, I figured it was just Washington being Washington. Any team owned by Dan Snyder is not a team I trust but after seeing this video we can blame the front office all we want but at the end of the day RGIII is the one who chose to play even when his own medical staff advised against it.
Not only that, he didn't have what it takes between his ears. He was never going to be an elite passer. Could not read a defense, and could not work through progressions. Once his legs were gone, he was a back up. If he had only put as much working into learning to be a QB as he did with his marketing, he might have been much better.
For years ive always thought that the Washington Organization was soley responsible for RG3's career. But after seeing this video, it seems like the one who had the biggest influence on his downfall was Rob himself. Dan Snyder is naturally gonna get a lot of blame from people and its warranted he did a lot of wrong things here too. But ultimately Rob nade the choice to get back on the field when he wasnt ready, and refused to listen to those around him besides Snyder. Its sad but, its what happened.
Couldn't agree more. Snyder and Shanahan deserve alot of blame for what happened to RG3. But RG3 especially had a key role in his downfall as well. I always felt that he should have played to his strengths and just allow the coaches to teach him. He got a little too big headed for his own good, and it ultimately cost him his playing career.
I feel like, yes, RG3 was responsible for what his aptitude and attitude, but no one player is in charge of a team. It's always on the owners, coaches, and TPTB. Well, unless you're TB12, but of course, we know his story. There was too much gunk in the engine from the start. The organization is always responsible for on-field failures because these men are paid good money and have all kinds of technology and analytics to perfect these players or pass on them, especially if they're the faces of the franchise. Instead, egos and pettiness were allowed to take over where training and hard work failed. But what do I know, I'm not a millionaire coach nor a billionaire [ex] owner, lol.
You’re talking about an early 20s rookie qb…one of the most competitive jobs there is. And as a player/employee/kid still you’re supposed to be able to believe in your coaches and you’d expect them to be experts being at the highest level and for years. Not playing would have opened a whole other can of worms
@tomsnowden6201 i see where youre coming from but it was these "experts" who were telling him that the right thing to do was sit down and take a rest for the team. Going out there despite their advice was for himself, not his team.
@@peelslowly28 Have you played sports?? If you have you'd know damn near EVERYONE will say you should "sit out" when you're hurt especially to cover their own asses but the unspoken expectation is to play...And when you're a 22 year old trying to be the LEADER of a 54 man team comprised of a bunch of veterans, as a rookie sitting out is pretty much not an option.
RG3 was never going to have sustained success in the NFL. His game was very one dimensional and his rookie year nobody knew how to defend against it. Plus he was so undersized for a running QB that it was only a matter of time before he got injured and wouldn’t be the same. Lamar Jackson is what everybody thought RG3 was going to be. This is coming from a Washington fan btw
At their respective draft combines, RGIII measured 6'2" 223 lbs; Lamar Jackson was 6'2" 216 lbs... I know Jackson bulked up a little over the years as a pro, but size / build does not really seem to explain it...
I get what you’re saying but that’s not entirely accurate, if he stayed healthy and protected himself his ability as a runner etc could maybe protect him and allow him to be great until he could catch up mentally. That is assuming he puts in the work.
This story makes me so sad. His rookie year was probably the greatest time my dad and I had watching football together and for the first time in a long time our franchise had hope. Still hurts me to this day
You should have hope again. Jayden Daniel’s is like the second coming of RGIII except he can read defenses and keep himself healthy. He’s got the Commanders flying
Robert Griffin was my favorite quarterback in the 2012 class besides Andrew Luck and I really thought he could go a long way until the spot on FedEx Field struck another player. I’m so sad that he never really got to play as a true starting quarterback in the NFL. If he ever does come back, I hope he’s successful.
That’s crazy that the Redskins had four members of their coaching staff that are currently head coaches Mike Mcdaniel, Miami Dolphins Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers Matt Lafleur, Green Bay Packers Sean Mcvay, Las Angeles Rams
That is an enlightening comment. Which should tell us...RG3 caused his own demise. He was gonna get hurt anyway. It's a miracle Lamar has lasted this long, but rule changes have helped in that regard.
It’s crazy to think Andrew Luck and RGIII both suffered the same fate from the 1 and 2 spot. Both generational talents that would’ve dominated for a long time. I wonder what the league would look like if they both didn’t suffer from that fate.
Bro if Andrew luck just never had bad luck with injuries and rg3 had just rested bro that could’ve been the next Peyton and Brady like imagine both playing in super bowls against each other would been hella fun
I dont think washington over-relied on him, rather the pressure from dan snyder basically forced them to grant RGIII’s wish, which was to play despite being clearly injured and unfit to play. Washington still had Kirk Cousins, which was an excellent QB at that time as well. They could have definitely used him instead, but sadly the pressure from dan and the fact that RGIII didn’t know when to stop and how to look after himself led to the downfall he had.
@perza2902 Shanahan play calling got rg3 hurt they did it out of spite because they always wanted to play cousins which is why they drafted them both in the same year
@@jbhillz87 no, mike shanahan loved rg3 and his abilities, however once rg3 got injured, mike shanahan wanted kirk to play instead. Dan snyder forced rg3 to play due to his wishes, leading to the injury
You are one of the first people I've seen actually reference the Haloti Ngata hit. I watched that game live and knew it was a bad hit the moment it happened. He was obviously VERY hurt by it.
People have no clue how red hot the fanbase here in DC got during that 2012 season. When rg3 went down in the Seattle game, the entire area had massive hope for the next season. Que the infighting with coaches. Reports of rg3 getting favorable treatment due to dan synder, local sports media being leaked info. It was a dumpster fire. It's sad to see how it turned out in the long run. I'll never forget Santana moss on the radio basically calling out rg3 on his BS and being proven right years later.
I always liked RGIII, his biggest enemy early in his career was himself. His pride, and ego always got in the way, and led to his exit from Washington. His time in Baltimore was good, as a mentor. I love to see him flourish now off the football field. He’s a good dude, Army brat like myself, and just wants to offer good insight football knowledge
Yeah, you're mostly correct.. I have a friend who was on the medical staff at Redskin park, and he told me the overarching problem was that RG3 went over the coaches head and ingratiated himself with the dumbass owner. So he ended up circumventing the coach and medical staff and played when he should not have been. Yes, Shanahan was a dope and Snyder an idiot, but RG3 himself has to bear some burden.
Shanahan wasn't a dope but he did not mesh with the midget owner at all. If he could have been more diplomatic it might have worked. I'd kill for a Shanahan offense again. Think about all the great coaches that dwarf owner sent out of town.
I remember that season vividly bro. RG3 was my hero that season as a 12-year old. Leading Washington to win their last 7 games to win the NFC East vs Dallas was one of the great memories from my childhood! And to watch that playoff game vs Seattle and watch how his career unfolded after that was just heartbreaking to watch. Really could've been something special for Washington fans
I'm a hardcore Seahawks fan but watched RG3 since Baylor. It always baffled me why and how he kept playing through injuries. That game against my birds broke my heart for him. Thanks for putting in the work and putting this out! Also, it would've been nice to mention that while his career _as a player_ is over, he's joined a small group of former players who now appear on camera in suits and ties as commentators and pundits. So, he's still getting paid and staying involved with the game he loves. Considering half of the QBs on field these past few weeks, RGIII could probably suit up today and do just as good/poorly, lol.
That's what he said. And he did it because he was afraid Cousins was going to take his job. This would not have happened if he had ran the offense Mike and his excellent staff had designed especially for him. It was designed to keep defenses permanently on their heels and always guessing wrong, which made it virtually impossible for them to blitz him. @@Mo-yd8xc
seems to me, based on what he said, he felt like he had to prove his toughness and secure his spot by playing through injuries.. it really is sad he felt he needed to prove something that much his rookie year. but that’s why coaches and medical staff are there to help players make rational decisions in these high-emotion situations. but when selfish owners are interfering with the staff’s ability to do their jobs, all safety protocols are thrown out the window
I remember watching that Seattle/Washington playoff game with my friends and at that point of the game, we were just stoked that Seattle was battling back and Russell & Marshawn were doing their thing. Then...that play. We all were appalled, stunned and shocked Griffin was out there at all and honestly were pissed. Crazy how that moment also solidified Russ as the star of that QB class, since he helped win a playoff game as a rookie (and damn near got Atlanta a week later)
It’s fucking criminal that he doesn’t have more subscribers, you can tell me puts time and effort into each of these retrospectives. I love you tubby❤❤
The fact that the NFL didn't rip Washington away from Dan Snyder immediately after this season is criminal. This dude should've had a real shot to be a one of a kind starter and they traded that away to sell playoff tickets. fucking shameful
It seems like Robert did a lot of this to himself by not listening and thinking he knew everything. He still accepts no responsibility and wants to blame everyone else. Why he didn't listen to Mike Shanahan is something I will never understand. Mike was a multiple Super Bowl winning coach, and under his guidance Robert was rookie of the year. Once again the wrong people got into an immature athlete's ear.
What separates Snyder from George Steinbrenner? He got banned from baseball due to working with the mob, and people defended him when he returned. Honestly, I find it hypocritical here.
Imagine if Luck and RG were managed properly. If the had successful careers, the 2012 QB draft class would have been one of the best ever: Luck, RG3, Tannehill, Foles, Russel Wilson, Cousins
@@joelgarcia1115 I didn’t sneak anybody in. He was a consistent starting QB his whole career until a couple of years ago. All of those QBs were either consistent starting QBs or super bowl champions, which is why I didn’t mention other QBs in that draft like Osweiler, Weeden, Lindley, etc
As a Cowboys fan, I will never forget what RGIII did to Dallas in both games that year. He absolutely demolished everything they tried to throw at him. Washington basically screwed themselves over for a decade and counting with what they did to him. He almost single-handedly took that organization and made it competitive. RGIII vs Dak twice a year would’ve been a really interesting matchup.
Another great video, TubFrog. RG3 is such an interesting player and story to look back on. There’s another world where he doesn’t get drafted to the dysfunctional Redskins, he learns how to avoid hits/slide, lets his body heal… He could’ve competed for multiple Super Bowls and a MVP candidate. Despite him not reaching his full potential, he is brought up whenever we see prospects just like him, cherished by fans all over the sport. He gave something to the game we love and he won’t ever lose that. Please give Tom on the wall a kiss for us.
Perfect time for this. I’ve heard content creators refer to “burnout” amongst YTs AND viewers at this point in the season. So here comes from, giving up something unexpected & different. That’s smart. Excellent timing, 🐸. Excellent work, as always
My man ,I recall the RG3 playing days and the injuries leading up to his sadness career ending downfall.I admire and commend you on your professionalism in gatherings all main facts prior to putting all the details in how it actually went down.I see nothing wrong with having a dual threat quarterback when the play dictates scrambling or an once a while called running play for the quarterback which in all circumstances slide to keep from being hit by 300lbs defensive linemen.
My step-dad played college baseball. He had basically the same injury when he was working out with the Cardinals. We were watching the game when it happened, and he looks over and says "He is done."
great video and retrospective on RG3s career. a future video id love to see is one of the Andy Reid and McNabb era Eagles. they were one of my favorite teams to watch.
Fun Fact: RG3 almost unintentionally killed me. I remember back in like 2014 I went to kings Dominion and apparently, RG3 was there, a fact we found out when we saw a dude with body guards get onto the same roller coaster that we did. My Dad told me who it was and I was unaffected because I didn't give a shit about football at the time. However, the ride operators did give a shit and decided to treat him like a god. They cleared the front of the coaster and made the people on it move so that he had the best seat. They also didn't want to make him wait so they tried to get everyone in their seats as fast as possible. This meant quick checking that everyone had put on their seatbelts and then rushed to the booth. In this time, the dumbass seatbelt checker somehow didn't see that my seatbelt was not working and ran off to go start the ride which caused me to panic. I quickly tried to buckle it but it was stuck and I was physically unable to strap in, even with my Dad's help. My Dad was yelling to the ride operators throughout all of this to no avail. A few more people then started to yell for their attention because they weren't listening to my Dad, they were tending to Griffin. Eventually, like mere seconds before they were going to start the ride, one of the workers heard the yelling and stopped the ride. They then came over and fixed my belt and we were on our way. I really enjoyed the ride, rode it like 10 times that day (I think it was the Intimidator) but that first experience terrified me. If the riders were so focused on Griffin, then they would have heard my Dad's yells earlier and I wouldn't have almost been shot down the tracks without a working seatbelt. On top of all of this, after the ride was over, RG3 got off and a kid asked for his autograph and he moved the kid out of the way and kept walking. Screw you RG3.
@21:41 the Skins medical staff wasn't possibly corrupt. They were absolutely jacked up. Look at how they dealt with another key player from that season (Trent Williams). That's why he left and went to the 49ers. It's heartbreaking being a Skins fan smh
Man I remember me and my friend from church were both big football loving and playing pre teens around this decade with RG3, Eli, Wilson, Flacco, Luck etc. being the quarterbacks we watched and aspired to be. Great times especially looking back!
They tried. They failed. It was pretty well documented going into practices after his recovery. They sent him to the Nationals to teach sliding and everything.
People have to remember Mike never wanted to draft RG3 but Snyder was under so much pressure that ticket sales was low so he needed to butts in the seats remember we took cousins in the same draft who ended up the starter but of course in typical Washington fashion we messed that all the hell up RG3 should’ve never been in that Seattle game Bruce Allen and Snyder pushed for him to be on the field which damaged him more I wish he would’ve sued Snyder and the medical staff for clearing him to play 2012 was special lightning in a bottle but was also devastating
the fault lies on RG3. I don't want to say it any more than the next person. I'd love to sit here and blame a healthy man over an injured one, But RG3 GOTTA KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME TO QUIT IN ORDER TO COME BACK STRONGER!
Right around the 10 minute mark, the fact that RG3 had a concussion and the Redskins organization not only attempted to hide it, but in the process were also caught by the league and fined basically sums up in a nutshell what that atrocious organization did to a phenomenal athlete, and very good QB.
RG3 seems like a good kid. Suh should have won the Heisman. RG3 should be able to play if ge says he can go. He had a weak arm. He was always too small to be a nfl qb who depended on his legs. RG3 ended up just as I expected he would... actually with more success.
Great job man! Not everyone truly understands the hard work, deduction, and passion is needed to make a video like this. Just so you know, it isn’t lost on your viewers.
As a Giants fan, I have to admit that RG3 scared the hell out of me when he played in our division but to watch that game was painful. I am not sure what possed him to stay in when it was obvious to the world that he shouldn't have but...just glad to see him doing better physically and professionally.
“A steaming mess” is typically the product the NFL presents. At the end of the day, the NFL is a business and s#%t flows downhill. Very few if any teams are well run. To this day, all organized pro and amateur sports are racist and the inner workings of the organizations are designed to keep it that way. The Clippers former owner ran his mouth and was forced to sell. The Bills owner ran his mouth and for some inexplicable reason only got bad press. If I were the Bills players, I’d have jumped ship and make sure that POS never gets a championship. How does one play at a high level for ownership that is racist? It doesn’t make sense. Good quarterbacks and players for that matter on bad teams are usually rode hard and put away injured. That’s what the Redskins did to RGIII; they used his ass up and called him a bust. Snyder never gave a rat’s ass about him. What’s really the point of fielding a garbage team? Money. Anyone ever wonder why there is so much advancement in the technology used to produce games yet they continue to put officiating staffs on the field to make bad calls, possibly altering the outcome of the games. In the 1960’s they used computer technology to get man to and from the moon. Why haven’t sports, football and basketball in particular created a fully automated officiating system using all those fancy camera angles and armed with all the rules to be able to make an accurate call in seconds? The only thing that would be needed is an official to place the ball. Ball spotting is a big issue for me. The results would be cleaner play and shorter games.
The worst part for me is thinking about to great opportunity that Jeff Fisher and Les Snead had to change the Rams future and they squandered it. I about threw up when they took Tavon Austin instead of DeAndre Hopkins, Greg Robinson over all the receivers in 2014, Brian Quick, ect. The defensive players picked were great, but there were so many better options on offense i couldn't believe they blew that.
This was the first season I ever watched football, my dad being a life long skins fan started watching again after decades of losing and got me into it. I remember if they beat the Seahawks they would come to Atlanta where we live to play the falcons and we were going to get tickets. It’s been 11 years now and we’ve still never had this much hope for the team. Hopefully with Snyder gone now the future will be brighter.
I am a redskin fan and it was rg3 and his father who put him at risk. I will say this Dan snider had more to do with this than the coach. He empowered rg3 and his dad to make unrealistic demands instead of letting mike run the show as coach. I am a 52 year old fan going way back to the Joe Gibbs era. Rg3 rookie year was the greatest rookie year ever imo.
What i got out of that is RGIII ruined his own career AND he wasn't nearly as good as the hype made him out to be. Not a big fan of running QBs. I'm more of a fan of mobile QBs. There is a difference.
That 2013 Broncos...highest scoring offense in history to this day & Peyton won his 5th MVP with the most passing yds,& tds ever...to this day-even though they play 1 more game now.Granted Seattle destroyed them in SB 48-but that was an unbelievable regular season offense.They scored 50+ on 2 teams-you act like giving up 45 was something unusual. They did that to most teams.
I was all in for RG3 in his rookie year. I believe the shanahans and their lack of development and ability to create an offense around his talent; Baltimore did what Washington should have done. I hope Robert has a wonderful fulfilling life. Good video i agree with a lot of it .
Alot of it had to do with his coach not taking care of him. When he was just recovering from his last injury, he should have continued to rest. It sad that his career got cut short.
I was a diehard Redskins fan and I witnessed it myself when RGIII ran away from the medical staff behind the bench and then put himself back in the game behind Shannahan’s back on the next play. Only RGIII and the annoying owner Dan Snyder are to blame for what happened to him. It wasn’t Shannahan’s fault, and RGIII and Snyder gave him nothing but grief and headaches the whole time. It’s a shame, because that first season was spectacular and he could have been an all time great if it didn’t go down like it did.
I remember hearing a talk show radio host, can’t remember who, stating RG3 and A Luck were already for sure HoFs- this was in 2012. I always think about that ridiculous statement when I hear RG3’s name
hey man! love your videos! just a quick topic suggestion that i personally would love to see you cover: Pete Carrol’s career over the years. maybe like a quick college USC cover and the impact he made there followed by his brief stint with the pats lmao then into Seattle LOB years and him now.. idk just thought i would share! keep up the fire content my man!
That game definitely ruined his career if I was the coach he'd have never been in that game period he would have never been rushed back I'd have shut him down for the season and we'd pick it up next yr and RG3 Mohave had a 10 ur carreer as a starter instead of what happened and if snider tried to force it I'd have resigned
I still remember watching RG3 @ Baylor for the like second or third time with my dad on tv and my dad said if he didn't start sliding he wouldn't last 3 years in the NFL
After all the injuries, this guy was a decent drop back passer (albeit fragile)who went through his progressions and got rid of the ball. Despite this, it felt as though RG3's fate was sealed oncethe athleticism was gone. I always found this to be bizarre.

Seriously...folks are still wasting there time on RGIII, who kept looking over his shoulder in Washington seeing Kirk Cousins lurking and decided to come back way too soon. No doubt about it, Snyder sucked as an owner...but your over-exaggerated hate of Washington is a bit much. Thankfully, RGIII has landed on his feet with ESPN but for the love of God...NO more wasted talk about what could have been...IT"S OVER BRUH!!! It's a new era in Washington under new ownership...focus on what's coming!
(5:29) (6:09)😆 I always find myself cracking up whenever you throw those jabs at Manning in all your videos featuring him. "The Elongated Manning." "The Forehead", or a still photo of Peyton with a stretched head.. funny ass shit! Oh, and the Ray Rice jokes! __ You got one of the best channels here on RUclips, man.. very fun content.
Seems like a lot of the RG3 tragedy was self inflicted. Situation sucks but like going to the owner to overrule the coach and medical staff is very much making your own bed.
Was at that Cowboys-‘Skins game his rookie year and I vividly remember seeing RG3 limping very noticeably and not even trying to hide the fact he was limping near the end of the game. Mind you we were seated in the upper deck of FedEx Field and we noticed that. He had no right being in the game at that stage being that injured.
Man RG3's rookie year had me truly amazed at the time. It looked like he was going to be a star player for a long time. However his situation taught me about the sophomore slump. There are a lot of rookie QB's that come out and light the league on fire but all goes down hill in their 2nd seasons as defenses learn their tendencies...and if they dont do anything to change or hide their tendencies and dobt continue to eveolve mentally in terms of reading coverages...then they all end up as back ups and eventually quietly leave the league like RG3 did. What a shame.
@Nonamegoodsir4332 yea but what's the point in having a head coach and management if the player can just do whatever. Someone sould have sat down with him and explained to him that this is not a good thing to do. This was the result of poor management
I think personally that by working with Lamar for 3 years, that gave RG3 a new love and respect for the game. Look at his smile on the sideline of the ravens games compared to his time in Cleveland.

Yeah, being a Ravens fan myself, I'd assume he's told Lamar a lot to not do what he did.
@@Zack_410 agreed. Idk how much RG3 played a role but the more time him and Lamar spent on the same team the more Lamar would slide and run out of bounds instead of risking injuries to get a few extra yards. As a ravens fan it’s nice to see and it’s good that RG3 was able to enjoy the last few years of his career and he’s a fantastic commentator
I mean he played like 5 games for the Browns before......He got hurt, again lol
He can respect Lamar now after selling sabotaging himself
So dope
RGIII was way more responsible for his downfall than his hardcore fans would lead you to believe.

Not only that, he didn't have what it takes between his ears. He was never going to be an elite passer. Could not read a defense, and could not work through progressions. Once his legs were gone, he was a back up. If he had only put as much working into learning to be a QB as he did with his marketing, he might have been much better.

I think hes an analyst now. I dont think hes coming back. I dont even think a team would even sign him.

That’s crazy that the Redskins had four members of their coaching staff that are currently head coaches
Mike Mcdaniel, Miami Dolphins
Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers
Matt Lafleur, Green Bay Packers
Sean Mcvay, Las Angeles Rams
All 4 coaches made the playoffs this season while Washington finished as one of the worst teams in the league.
That is an enlightening comment. Which should tell us...RG3 caused his own demise. He was gonna get hurt anyway. It's a miracle Lamar has lasted this long, but rule changes have helped in that regard.
@@howard2031 Lamar has a better body for it, is smarter and quicker at making reads, and knows how to slide.
@@howard2031Its not a miracle Lamar has made it this far. Lamars alot smarter and quicker than RG3.
@@blazedonakayak5053 No doubt about your last sentence. RG3 is borderline retarded the more I listen to him.
It’s crazy to think Andrew Luck and RGIII both suffered the same fate from the 1 and 2 spot. Both generational talents that would’ve dominated for a long time. I wonder what the league would look like if they both didn’t suffer from that fate.
Bro if Andrew luck just never had bad luck with injuries and rg3 had just rested bro that could’ve been the next Peyton and Brady like imagine both playing in super bowls against each other would been hella fun
The league is really suffering rn bc of that. Lack of superstars
@tsosway486 if the Colts front office would have given him a half decent offensive line, things could have been different
If not for Washington's over-reliance of RGIII, he could've been one of the most entertaining players of the decade...
Fr
I dont think washington over-relied on him, rather the pressure from dan snyder basically forced them to grant RGIII’s wish, which was to play despite being clearly injured and unfit to play. Washington still had Kirk Cousins, which was an excellent QB at that time as well. They could have definitely used him instead, but sadly the pressure from dan and the fact that RGIII didn’t know when to stop and how to look after himself led to the downfall he had.
Lamar Jackson before Lamar
@perza2902 Shanahan play calling got rg3 hurt they did it out of spite because they always wanted to play cousins which is why they drafted them both in the same year
@@jbhillz87 no, mike shanahan loved rg3 and his abilities, however once rg3 got injured, mike shanahan wanted kirk to play instead. Dan snyder forced rg3 to play due to his wishes, leading to the injury
You are one of the first people I've seen actually reference the Haloti Ngata hit. I watched that game live and knew it was a bad hit the moment it happened. He was obviously VERY hurt by it.
People have no clue how red hot the fanbase here in DC got during that 2012 season. When rg3 went down in the Seattle game, the entire area had massive hope for the next season. Que the infighting with coaches. Reports of rg3 getting favorable treatment due to dan synder, local sports media being leaked info. It was a dumpster fire. It's sad to see how it turned out in the long run. I'll never forget Santana moss on the radio basically calling out rg3 on his BS and being proven right years later.
I always liked RGIII, his biggest enemy early in his career was himself. His pride, and ego always got in the way, and led to his exit from Washington. His time in Baltimore was good, as a mentor. I love to see him flourish now off the football field. He’s a good dude, Army brat like myself, and just wants to offer good insight football knowledge
Yeah I think he really helped Lamar out a lot. Definitely enjoyed having him on the sideline, hell he even got a start in 2019 and 2020.
He cheated on his pregnant wife..does not seem like the greatest dude
Yeah, you're mostly correct.. I have a friend who was on the medical staff at Redskin park, and he told me the overarching problem was that RG3 went over the coaches head and ingratiated himself with the dumbass owner. So he ended up circumventing the coach and medical staff and played when he should not have been. Yes, Shanahan was a dope and Snyder an idiot, but RG3 himself has to bear some burden.
Bingo
Thank you..die hard fans saw this, but it is interesting to see this romanticized version of rg3 in this video
Shanahan wasn't a dope but he did not mesh with the midget owner at all. If he could have been more diplomatic it might have worked. I'd kill for a Shanahan offense again. Think about all the great coaches that dwarf owner sent out of town.
There’s a lot of revisionist history that goes on with RG3 for whatever reason
I remember that season vividly bro. RG3 was my hero that season as a 12-year old. Leading Washington to win their last 7 games to win the NFC East vs Dallas was one of the great memories from my childhood! And to watch that playoff game vs Seattle and watch how his career unfolded after that was just heartbreaking to watch. Really could've been something special for Washington fans
I'm a hardcore Seahawks fan but watched RG3 since Baylor. It always baffled me why and how he kept playing through injuries. That game against my birds broke my heart for him. Thanks for putting in the work and putting this out!
Also, it would've been nice to mention that while his career _as a player_ is over, he's joined a small group of former players who now appear on camera in suits and ties as commentators and pundits. So, he's still getting paid and staying involved with the game he loves. Considering half of the QBs on field these past few weeks, RGIII could probably suit up today and do just as good/poorly, lol.
The question should be WHY he did it?
That's what he said. And he did it because he was afraid Cousins was going to take his job. This would not have happened if he had ran the offense Mike and his excellent staff had designed especially for him. It was designed to keep defenses permanently on their heels and always guessing wrong, which made it virtually impossible for them to blitz him. @@Mo-yd8xc
seems to me, based on what he said, he felt like he had to prove his toughness and secure his spot by playing through injuries.. it really is sad he felt he needed to prove something that much his rookie year. but that’s why coaches and medical staff are there to help players make rational decisions in these high-emotion situations. but when selfish owners are interfering with the staff’s ability to do their jobs, all safety protocols are thrown out the window
@@dominique8655 secure his spot? Wasn't he like the #1 or 2 overall pick?
I remember watching that Seattle/Washington playoff game with my friends and at that point of the game, we were just stoked that Seattle was battling back and Russell & Marshawn were doing their thing. Then...that play. We all were appalled, stunned and shocked Griffin was out there at all and honestly were pissed. Crazy how that moment also solidified Russ as the star of that QB class, since he helped win a playoff game as a rookie (and damn near got Atlanta a week later)
I still remember that game between Seattle vs washington. Potiential classic till RG3 got hurt
Yep I’ll never understand how you can leave on a QB who can barely run and is clearly hurt
The Floyd Mayweather line had me rolling!!🤣🤣🤣
I dead came to the comments to say that 😂😂😂
My man Tub Frog. Has anyone told you how glorious it is when you come out in the clutch with these new videos?
It’s fucking criminal that he doesn’t have more subscribers, you can tell me puts time and effort into each of these retrospectives. I love you tubby❤❤
The fact that the NFL didn't rip Washington away from Dan Snyder immediately after this season is criminal. This dude should've had a real shot to be a one of a kind starter and they traded that away to sell playoff tickets. fucking shameful
Dude we had RG3, Sean Mcvay, Kyle Shanahan, Champ Bailey, Mike Mcdaniel, Trent Williams. Dan Snyder is the football equivalent to satan.
Billionaires protect their own. It wasn't until the other owners found out about him not declaring extra earnings did they force him out.
It seems like Robert did a lot of this to himself by not listening and thinking he knew everything. He still accepts no responsibility and wants to blame everyone else. Why he didn't listen to Mike Shanahan is something I will never understand. Mike was a multiple Super Bowl winning coach, and under his guidance Robert was rookie of the year. Once again the wrong people got into an immature athlete's ear.
RG3 couldn't beat out Kirk Cousins.
What separates Snyder from George Steinbrenner? He got banned from baseball due to working with the mob, and people defended him when he returned. Honestly, I find it hypocritical here.
I remember watching that Seahawks game and it felt like everyone knew we saw the end of what should’ve been an unreal career.
Imagine if Luck and RG were managed properly. If the had successful careers, the 2012 QB draft class would have been one of the best ever: Luck, RG3, Tannehill, Foles, Russel Wilson, Cousins
Lmao what
@@thatswhatsgood24 I don’t see what’s so funny
You snuck tannehill in there☠️
@@joelgarcia1115 I didn’t sneak anybody in. He was a consistent starting QB his whole career until a couple of years ago. All of those QBs were either consistent starting QBs or super bowl champions, which is why I didn’t mention other QBs in that draft like Osweiler, Weeden, Lindley, etc
You're on crack. Only one of those players would've made the HOF.
As a Cowboys fan, I will never forget what RGIII did to Dallas in both games that year. He absolutely demolished everything they tried to throw at him.
Washington basically screwed themselves over for a decade and counting with what they did to him. He almost single-handedly took that organization and made it competitive.
RGIII vs Dak twice a year would’ve been a really interesting matchup.
Another great video, TubFrog. RG3 is such an interesting player and story to look back on. There’s another world where he doesn’t get drafted to the dysfunctional Redskins, he learns how to avoid hits/slide, lets his body heal… He could’ve competed for multiple Super Bowls and a MVP candidate. Despite him not reaching his full potential, he is brought up whenever we see prospects just like him, cherished by fans all over the sport. He gave something to the game we love and he won’t ever lose that.
Please give Tom on the wall a kiss for us.
Perfect time for this. I’ve heard content creators refer to “burnout” amongst YTs AND viewers at this point in the season.
So here comes from, giving up something unexpected & different. That’s smart. Excellent timing, 🐸. Excellent work, as always
My man ,I recall the RG3 playing days and the injuries leading up to his sadness career ending downfall.I admire and commend you on your professionalism in gatherings all main facts prior to putting all the details in how it actually went down.I see nothing wrong with having a dual threat quarterback when the play dictates scrambling or an once a while called running play for the quarterback which in all circumstances slide to keep from being hit by 300lbs defensive linemen.
God as a Washington fan it hurts to think of RGIII. Love him and I hate what we did to him.
He did it to himself, numb nuts. Ever heard of sliding?
I didn’t watch him play but from this video it seems like he did some of this to himself.
25:00 the fact that RG3 told Mike Shanahan, Matt Lafleur and Kyle Shanahan to Stfu is hilarious now
Yeah, karma told him to shut the fuck up..
Love your deep dives. Well searched and comprehensive and very informative. More of these please, Mr Frog.
My step-dad played college baseball. He had basically the same injury when he was working out with the Cardinals. We were watching the game when it happened, and he looks over and says "He is done."
Cardinals fan here, hope your step-father is doing well.
great video and retrospective on RG3s career. a future video id love to see is one of the Andy Reid and McNabb era Eagles. they were one of my favorite teams to watch.
"Ray Rice PUNCHES...." might not be the perfect choice of words-lol.
Fun Fact: RG3 almost unintentionally killed me. I remember back in like 2014 I went to kings Dominion and apparently, RG3 was there, a fact we found out when we saw a dude with body guards get onto the same roller coaster that we did. My Dad told me who it was and I was unaffected because I didn't give a shit about football at the time. However, the ride operators did give a shit and decided to treat him like a god. They cleared the front of the coaster and made the people on it move so that he had the best seat. They also didn't want to make him wait so they tried to get everyone in their seats as fast as possible. This meant quick checking that everyone had put on their seatbelts and then rushed to the booth. In this time, the dumbass seatbelt checker somehow didn't see that my seatbelt was not working and ran off to go start the ride which caused me to panic. I quickly tried to buckle it but it was stuck and I was physically unable to strap in, even with my Dad's help. My Dad was yelling to the ride operators throughout all of this to no avail. A few more people then started to yell for their attention because they weren't listening to my Dad, they were tending to Griffin. Eventually, like mere seconds before they were going to start the ride, one of the workers heard the yelling and stopped the ride. They then came over and fixed my belt and we were on our way. I really enjoyed the ride, rode it like 10 times that day (I think it was the Intimidator) but that first experience terrified me. If the riders were so focused on Griffin, then they would have heard my Dad's yells earlier and I wouldn't have almost been shot down the tracks without a working seatbelt. On top of all of this, after the ride was over, RG3 got off and a kid asked for his autograph and he moved the kid out of the way and kept walking. Screw you RG3.
Fed Ex field caused a lot of injuries in 2012-2013, if I remember correctly. The playoff games there had a high injury toll.
@21:41 the Skins medical staff wasn't possibly corrupt. They were absolutely jacked up. Look at how they dealt with another key player from that season (Trent Williams). That's why he left and went to the 49ers. It's heartbreaking being a Skins fan smh
Yes. Rich owner, cheap businessman!
Man I remember me and my friend from church were both big football loving and playing pre teens around this decade with RG3, Eli, Wilson, Flacco, Luck etc. being the quarterbacks we watched and aspired to be. Great times especially looking back!
RG3 could not slide on the run. Why wasn't this skill ever taught to him?
They tried. They failed. It was pretty well documented going into practices after his recovery. They sent him to the Nationals to teach sliding and everything.
This hurts growing up in D.C. and watching Redskin football as a child, and I got to meet RG3. I’m glad he’s thriving at ESPN now
People have to remember Mike never wanted to draft RG3 but Snyder was under so much pressure that ticket sales was low so he needed to butts in the seats remember we took cousins in the same draft who ended up the starter but of course in typical Washington fashion we messed that all the hell up RG3 should’ve never been in that Seattle game Bruce Allen and Snyder pushed for him to be on the field which damaged him more I wish he would’ve sued Snyder and the medical staff for clearing him to play 2012 was special lightning in a bottle but was also devastating
the fault lies on RG3. I don't want to say it any more than the next person. I'd love to sit here and blame a healthy man over an injured one, But RG3 GOTTA KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME TO QUIT IN ORDER TO COME BACK STRONGER!
If I had a nickel for every career ruined by FedEx field, I could buy my own nfl team
Right around the 10 minute mark, the fact that RG3 had a concussion and the Redskins organization not only attempted to hide it, but in the process were also caught by the league and fined basically sums up in a nutshell what that atrocious organization did to a phenomenal athlete, and very good QB.
RG3 seems like a good kid.
Suh should have won the Heisman.
RG3 should be able to play if ge says he can go.
He had a weak arm.
He was always too small to be a nfl qb who depended on his legs.
RG3 ended up just as I expected he would... actually with more success.
Great job man! Not everyone truly understands the hard work, deduction, and passion is needed to make a video like this. Just so you know, it isn’t lost on your viewers.
Really entertaining as always. Thanks for all the great content.
As a Giants fan, I have to admit that RG3 scared the hell out of me when he played in our division but to watch that game was painful. I am not sure what possed him to stay in when it was obvious to the world that he shouldn't have but...just glad to see him doing better physically and professionally.
“A steaming mess” is typically the product the NFL presents. At the end of the day, the NFL is a business and s#%t flows downhill. Very few if any teams are well run. To this day, all organized pro and amateur sports are racist and the inner workings of the organizations are designed to keep it that way. The Clippers former owner ran his mouth and was forced to sell. The Bills owner ran his mouth and for some inexplicable reason only got bad press. If I were the Bills players, I’d have jumped ship and make sure that POS never gets a championship. How does one play at a high level for ownership that is racist? It doesn’t make sense. Good quarterbacks and players for that matter on bad teams are usually rode hard and put away injured. That’s what the Redskins did to RGIII; they used his ass up and called him a bust. Snyder never gave a rat’s ass about him. What’s really the point of fielding a garbage team? Money. Anyone ever wonder why there is so much advancement in the technology used to produce games yet they continue to put officiating staffs on the field to make bad calls, possibly altering the outcome of the games. In the 1960’s they used computer technology to get man to and from the moon. Why haven’t sports, football and basketball in particular created a fully automated officiating system using all those fancy camera angles and armed with all the rules to be able to make an accurate call in seconds? The only thing that would be needed is an official to place the ball. Ball spotting is a big issue for me. The results would be cleaner play and shorter games.
The worst part for me is thinking about to great opportunity that Jeff Fisher and Les Snead had to change the Rams future and they squandered it. I about threw up when they took Tavon Austin instead of DeAndre Hopkins, Greg Robinson over all the receivers in 2014, Brian Quick, ect. The defensive players picked were great, but there were so many better options on offense i couldn't believe they blew that.
This was the first season I ever watched football, my dad being a life long skins fan started watching again after decades of losing and got me into it. I remember if they beat the Seahawks they would come to Atlanta where we live to play the falcons and we were going to get tickets. It’s been 11 years now and we’ve still never had this much hope for the team. Hopefully with Snyder gone now the future will be brighter.
Really enjoy your channel man! You're by far my favorite sports youtuber keep up the good work.
I am a redskin fan and it was rg3 and his father who put him at risk. I will say this Dan snider had more to do with this than the coach. He empowered rg3 and his dad to make unrealistic demands instead of letting mike run the show as coach. I am a 52 year old fan going way back to the Joe Gibbs era. Rg3 rookie year was the greatest rookie year ever imo.
What i got out of that is RGIII ruined his own career AND he wasn't nearly as good as the hype made him out to be. Not a big fan of running QBs. I'm more of a fan of mobile QBs. There is a difference.
That 2013 Broncos...highest scoring offense in history to this day & Peyton won his 5th MVP with the most passing yds,& tds ever...to this day-even though they play 1 more game now.Granted Seattle destroyed them in SB 48-but that was an unbelievable regular season offense.They scored 50+ on 2 teams-you act like giving up 45 was something unusual. They did that to most teams.
Great video. That Floyd Mayweather joke went over my head the first time lmfao
I was all in for RG3 in his rookie year. I believe the shanahans and their lack of development and ability to create an offense around his talent; Baltimore did what Washington should have done. I hope Robert has a wonderful fulfilling life. Good video i agree with a lot of it .
ur a natural bro these videos are so well paced. good job💪💪
Alot of it had to do with his coach not taking care of him. When he was just recovering from his last injury, he should have continued to rest. It sad that his career got cut short.
If I had a nickel for every time a player won ROTY and then fell off heavily I’d be rich
I was a diehard Redskins fan and I witnessed it myself when RGIII ran away from the medical staff behind the bench and then put himself back in the game behind Shannahan’s back on the next play. Only RGIII and the annoying owner Dan Snyder are to blame for what happened to him. It wasn’t Shannahan’s fault, and RGIII and Snyder gave him nothing but grief and headaches the whole time. It’s a shame, because that first season was spectacular and he could have been an all time great if it didn’t go down like it did.
Thank you tubby for showing love to our very much needed help slumpmanders
Bro hiw rookie year was one for the ages. He was soooo freaking good that year. Its truly a shame how his career went
And he was ass after defenses had enough tape on him to figure him out.
I remember hearing a talk show radio host, can’t remember who, stating RG3 and A Luck were already for sure HoFs- this was in 2012. I always think about that ridiculous statement when I hear RG3’s name
RGIII: One of the biggest “what ifs” in NFL history…

This is one of your best videos ever. Keep it up tubby!
That game definitely ruined his career if I was the coach he'd have never been in that game period he would have never been rushed back I'd have shut him down for the season and we'd pick it up next yr and RG3 Mohave had a 10 ur carreer as a starter instead of what happened and if snider tried to force it I'd have resigned
I like to think that whenever he films in a new place he just leaves the Tom Brady pic for the next person.
Mike Shanahan destroyed RGlll's career.
I still remember watching RG3 @ Baylor for the like second or third time with my dad on tv and my dad said if he didn't start sliding he wouldn't last 3 years in the NFL
Revisiting this because of the latest beef between Rob and Jay.
RG3 ended up with the Cleveland Browns for a second and once again took a hit that he didn't have to and that was it.
Was not ready for the Ray Rice Floyd Mayweather 😂
RG3 definitely hurt his own career by insisting on becoming a pocket passer. He was never going to play the game like TB12
After all the injuries, this guy was a decent drop back passer (albeit fragile)who went through his progressions and got rid of the ball. Despite this, it felt as though RG3's fate was sealed oncethe athleticism was gone. I always found this to be bizarre.
He can still run a 4.4

No doubt about it, Snyder sucked as an owner...but your over-exaggerated hate of Washington is a bit much. Thankfully, RGIII has landed on his feet with ESPN but for the love of God...NO more wasted talk about what could have been...IT"S OVER BRUH!!!

You got one of the best channels here on RUclips, man.. very fun content.
Seems like a lot of the RG3 tragedy was self inflicted. Situation sucks but like going to the owner to overrule the coach and medical staff is very much making your own bed.
Was at that Cowboys-‘Skins game his rookie year and I vividly remember seeing RG3 limping very noticeably and not even trying to hide the fact he was limping near the end of the game. Mind you we were seated in the upper deck of FedEx Field and we noticed that. He had no right being in the game at that stage being that injured.
Man RG3's rookie year had me truly amazed at the time. It looked like he was going to be a star player for a long time. However his situation taught me about the sophomore slump. There are a lot of rookie QB's that come out and light the league on fire but all goes down hill in their 2nd seasons as defenses learn their tendencies...and if they dont do anything to change or hide their tendencies and dobt continue to eveolve mentally in terms of reading coverages...then they all end up as back ups and eventually quietly leave the league like RG3 did. What a shame.
Shanahan QB injury curse + Dan + RG3 not wanting would never end in a good way
And this almost the same way things ended for Trey Lance in San Francisco. Those Shanahans sure know how to get the worst out of running QBs.
It's actually kind of wild that both Luck and RGIII, the top 2 picks in 2012, ended up facing the same exact fate
RG3 ruined himself

@Nonamegoodsir4332 yea but what's the point in having a head coach and management if the player can just do whatever. Someone sould have sat down with him and explained to him that this is not a good thing to do. This was the result of poor management
RG3 is to the NFL what Brandon Roy was to the NBA.
I hope howell isn’t mishandled like him because whenever sam runs he never wants to go down
This is like a Sport Horror show!
I blame them all, but mostly the coach for not having the balls to stand up to the QB or the owner.
