RGIII: Great QBs don't play well if teammates don't
Of all the things Robert Griffin III could do for his teammates to ensure next year goes a little better than 2014, throwing them under the bus is not high up on the list.
And yet, after Sunday's loss to the lowly Buccaneers, this is what we heard:
'If you want to look at the good teams in this league and the great quarterbacks, the Peytons (Manning) and the Aaron Rodgers, those guys don't play well if their guys don't play well,' Griffin said, via Sporting News.
It seems like, all at once, Griffin is placing himself in a higher echelon of passers than he's actually in while simultaneously criticizing a team that is sitting in last place with nowhere else to go.
What Washington needs at this point is a leader on offense. RGIII came at a king's ransom, one that will probably set the franchise back for a few years. But while he's working to develop himself into an elite player, the least he can do is make some friends at the same time.
Rodgers and Manning have, at times, openly criticized teammates, but not before clearly establishing themselves as the best the game has to offer. Like the rest of his Washington teammates, Griffin has a long way to go.
