In response to Terry Pluto's inaccurate article on :
Cleveland Browns' plan to improve probably not a good fit for Robert Griffin III:
Terry makes the false assumption that because RG3 takes the vast majority of his snaps from the shotgun that he is incapable of of taking snaps from Center. This is far from the truth and if you watch any games for any length of time you will see him take snaps from center and does it effortlessly. In fact, if you go to youtube, you will be able to see that RG3 takes his snaps from Center and doesn't miss a beat in doing what his asked of him. To further show how misinformed Terry Pluto is on his analysis Bleacher Report writer in his analysis of RG3 gives him an A for footwork and in doing so says the following "However, Griffin also drops back from under center, often seeing three- and five-step drops, which are seen throughout the NFL. This contradicts the erroneous, misinformed supposition by Pluto.
Another contradictory comment by Pluto is one in which he says that:Take the biggest impact offensive player at No. 4. Look elsewhere for a quarterback. To this what happened to building a team around a Quarterback? As I mentioned before, I 99% of the league believes that in order to win you must have a good/great QB. In listening to the Presser today and the one given by Shurmur the Browns have very strong doubts about the abilities of one Colt McCoy. In saying that they need to find a QB because according to Mike Holmgren, you build a team around a QB and what Pluto doesn't mention in his article is the fact that the Browns put to rest any talk that RG3 is to short by referencing Aaron Rogers and going on to say that a 6'2" QB can be successful in the offense(referencing RG3).
To put this argument to rest. Go on ESPN and see the comments of one Mel Kiper. He points out that RG3 can play in any offense.
I will put links of the scouting report of RG3 and the comments of Mel Kiper on my link so you can have it and refute the misinformation given by Pluto. Oh by the way, Pluto doesn't mention that RG3 played in the same offense of Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy, did they have problems taking snaps from Center?? I rest my case!!!!!

Thanks for the links and calling out the PD writers on their bull and contradictions. They started to block my post and i cant figure out why when they were not vulgar or profane. all i use is logic and common sense. One day its we need a franchise Qb, now when people want a black Qb its we have too many holes to fill. lol Like i don't remember that you told me we need a game changer at QB in order to succeed. Its like which one is it? If the browns don't draft Rg3 i'm done with them i would rather spend my Sundays helping out my community then watching that garbage they call a football team thanks for the links and keep pointing out the Bs they write
ReplyDeleteGood ideas but your writing is filled with multiple spelling, capitalization, and grammatical errors.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's difficult to "refute" a known name like Terry Pluto by saying an unnamed bleacher report writer disagrees with him... Saying Bleacher Report is a sporting news site is like saying McDonalds is a great place to eat. It's cheap, has no substance, and anyone can do it.
Other than that, interesting ideas on Griffin.
