Exactly.
See below....especially the bold.
This story just doesn't seem real, can't imagine a NFL player actually bragging about something like that. And from what I've seen over the years I wouldn't trust many Sally/******** story's either. So I agree with the Skins fans on this particular case.
But it's not just Sally saying these things tho, it's literally almost the entire press nationwide. Don't know why people are acting like everyone in the media just woke up one day and decided to bash RG3. Not saying all of the stories are true, but RG3 supporters pass off every single one as the media just hating. With RG3's Heisman comment, operation patience, comments from Garcon/Santana, etc, it's not hard to believe some of these stories, most of these stories might be true.
You spoke a lot of truth in your first paragraph...as far as the 2nd, MaxElite summed it up perfectly in the post I quoted below JD.
Oh, that completely changes things. Dan Shaughnessy was #2 on the list in 2011. What a prestigious award.
In addition..I'm sure Mike Wilbon has more awards than I can count, but you won't find a bigger blowhard in media than him. No one is saying RGIII is blame-free here. He needs to mature alot this offseason. He also needs to improve as a QB.
But it's funny the kind of character assassination he has been receiving these past few weeks as Mike Shanahan's job was on the line. What better way to screw the team that fired you than to bash the franchise QB on your way out
It's pretty easy to decipher, Mike Shanahan picks up the phone and gives these writers his side of the story. They run with it because after all he is an "insider" and boom. A report of RGIII and Snyder's relationship comes out on a GAMEDAY. THe next week, another report comes out hours before another game. You think that's coming from a teammate or assistant coach? I don't think so.
You hit the nail on the head bro.

Let me ask you...in the case of black athletes, more specifically QBs, do you think they are treated unfairly in the media? I hate to make it a racial issue, but I do think there is a double-standard to some extent. I have NEVER seen a character assassination to this degree of any QB who hasn't been arrested than what RG3 is going through. Cam went through it with his smile...Kap went through it with his tats...McNabb and Vick had their downs as well...seems to be par for the course if you ask me. But it's unfair.
Just to reiterate what ME said b/c he made some excellent points:
He has A LOT of things to work on this offseason. Not just from a football standpoint.
Hot air coming from Sally Jenkins is one thing...if the same sentiments are echoed by Grant Paulsen, who by all accounts has the best access of any media member to Skins players (currently), then yea...I'll put more stock into what she's saying. Until then, I'll reserve judgement due to her shoddy past and the fact that she seemingly has an axe to grind for whatever the reason with the franchise.

Oh wow. On NT? Did not realize that
That was like the most obvious bust pick Al Davis ever made. To be fair Crabtree didn't look very good for a couple years either.

No he didnt look like he warranted the pick early in his career. But to be fair, he had Alex Smith throwing him balls.....or not throwing him balls rather.
But I said it then and it still is true. As underwhelming as Crabtree looked early in his career, at no point in their respective careers was DHB the better player.

Crabtree was looking like a bust early but now he's on the verge of being elite if he stays healthy

And the jets tampered with him that year, which is how we were rewarded the thanksgiving game against Baltimore.

DHB did have 975 yards in 2011 though
DHB that year jacked off an elephant before every game word to Clifford Franklin.

Raiders picking Michael Mitchell was next to epic for me.
I'll never forget the reaction from the guys covering the draft
I wishhh we had a video.
At least he is somewhat relevant. Ohio player

I remember Carson doing well with a couple of those young receivers, actually.DHB did have 975 yards in 2011 though
Too bad Jamarcus wasn't around anymore. He and DHB would have been a great Madden hook up. Hot route to streaks every time.

In regards to the Ed Block award, it goes to the player that other teammates believe overcame the most ADVERSITY. With that being said, after coming back from the type of surgery that RGIII came back from, particularly in the timeframe that he did, I think it's pretty obvious to see how and why he was given the Ed Block award. It's not like RGIII won the award for "the player you want to socialize with the most off the field" I do acknowledge that he did win the Ed Block award however and his teammates awarding him with it.
As far as you NOT believing anything in the media anymore.......well all I can say to that is there is still some truth out there among the masses champ. Don't let one or two bad stories turn you blind from the light that is being shined out there.
Also, I'm all for the phrase that I made famous on here "just give a black man a chance". It's not like I'm saying the Diplomats should get rid of RGIII or anything of the sort. I just wouldn't want to see him burn any bridges in the process of him being or becoming a great QB.
I do at times think black athletes, more specifically QB's get treated unfairly in the media. However, in this particular situation I personally do not think that is the case, just my opinion. Let me just say this, and this statement doesn't just apply to RGIII but anybody else in life for that matter......."sometimes perception is reality" With that being said during the off-season RGIII is going to have to take a good look in the mirror and ask himself how and why this "perception" of him is out there. If and once he does that, and more importantly addresses it maybe, just maybe his troubles will be washed away.

Bob doesn't get treated like a black QB though. White people love him.
Cam brought a lot of that BS on himself.
Colin seems to be treated fair *waits for some light skinned jokes*
Vick was treated fair at first but brought a lot of it on himself. Weed, half *** practicing, dog fighting and so on.
Geno Smith isn't good right now and might never be so he's treated fairly.
Do people consider Russell Wilson black?
