At this point I doubt they could get a roll of athletic tape for this chump loser. Face it Bob, you're finished as an NFL QB. Try Canada or the Arena League.
High-ranking Washington Redskins front-office officials and coaches want to part ways with quarterback Robert Griffin III, but are meeting resistance from team ownership, according to team and league sources.
The Redskins even have had trade conversations about Griffin with a handful of NFL teams, but have found no interest, and it remains unclear whether ownership would allow Washington to trade him, sources said.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that Griffin has lost his starting quarterback job, and depending on the events and conversations in the coming days, possibly his roster spot. Outside of ownership, there has been a groundswell of support from a strong segment of football people within the organization to change quarterbacks, but there is a question about whether they have the authority to part ways with Griffin, sources said.
Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan was hired this past offseason to rebuild the team, so he looms as a possible X factor in any big personnel decision that involves Griffin as teams trim their rosters from 90 to 53 players over the next week. McCloughan's ability to produce a resolution that all sides can live with now looms large.
One of the main issues now for the Redskins and other teams is Griffin's contract, which is guaranteed for $16.1 million in 2016 for injury only. When the Redskins announced they picked up the fifth-year option in Griffin's contract in April, many expected it to tie him to the franchise through 2016. Instead, it may have the opposite effect.
If Washington plays Griffin this season -- and the NFL still has not cleared him to return to action from a recent concussion -- and he gets injured again, the Redskins cannot cut him until he's cleared to play again. In addition, should Griffin suffer an injury that extends into the 2016 season, his $16.1 million salary for next season is guaranteed. That could also scare off some teams interested in trading for Griffin.

I like him as a person. I hope he does well. I just don't think he can ever thrive in this system/organization. I don't know if anyone can.

I think his persona is part of his problem. Arrogant, hard headed, and aloof.

Man I don't know what's the fucking with him because it seemed like he had a lot of natural talent but I think a lot of it was hype...however, I do feel bad for the poor guy because it's almost like the every defense is out to break him in two during every game .."almost". it just feels like his days are numbered when he plays

Everyone on the coaching staff wants him gone, but Danny Boy won't let them dump him. Apparently, Danny's wife likes getting the BBC too much.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet that Danny takes it up the poopchute from RG3 too.
