RG3 is the NFL OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE MONTH!!!

FUTURE MVP AND HALL OF FAMER!!!!

Somehow they overlooked Andrew Luck?

That's odd.

Maybe ESPN will invent some kind of category for him.

Month > Week

I'm pissed it isn't Alshon Jeffery.

Kidding.

YOU CAN TELL THIS IS AWESOME BY THE AMOUNT OF EXCLAMATION POINTS I'M USING !!!!!!!

I don't think you people realize how fucking huge this is.

The MONTH. Like, 30 days or so.

FOUR FUCKIN' WEEKS.

OFFENSE!!!

That means for the first four weeks of the season - or a month - RG3 has been OFFICIALLY declared the best rookie (on offense) that the NFL has to offer.

That's fucking ridiculous.

Somewhere out there, a guy named Andrew Luck isn't being honored in a similar fashion.

Wow.

The press are being as restrained in their praise of RG3 as Gregg is writing a Poison concert review....

"Robert Griffin III is the NFL offensive rookie of the month
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 4, 2012, 11:34 AM EDT

APRedskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is the is the recipient of the NFL’s September Rookie of the Month Award.

That’s no surprise after Griffin completed a month in which he went 86-for-124 passing, with 1,070 yards, four touchdowns and a passer rating of 103.2. On top of that, Griffin scored four rushing touchdowns in four games, putting him on pace to break Cam Newton’s record of 14 rushing touchdowns in a season by a quarterback.

In a year with five rookie starting quarterbacks, Griffin leads them all in passing yards, completion percentage and passer rating. He also leads all the rookie quarterbacks in carries, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.

It’s probably safe to say this won’t be the last NFL award Griffin earns. Or even close to the most significant."

Congratulations RGIII. Enjoy it while it lasts. You'll be out of football in 5 years. Love, Greg.

I'm still trying to figure this out.

Doesn't the NFL pay attention to ESPN's Total QBR?

Cause you'd think they'd have something to say about their #1 QB being passed over in favor of their 20-something ranked QB, RG3.

Instead, they are just joining in on the monkeypile forming right beneath Griffin's nutsack. Strange world...

ESPN's Dan Graziano:

"The Washington Redskins announced Thursday that their rookie quarterback, Robert Griffin III, has been named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Month for September. This strikes me as something of a no-brainer selection, as his closest competition likely came from his own running back, Alfred Morris, or Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who only played three games and doesn't have the stats to hang with RG3 at this point."

I can't believe Shanahan finally stopped playing musical running backs.

And I can't believe he hired Jim Haslett to run the defense.

Loved seeing this. Obviously, the most deserving of the award, for sure. Kudos to RGIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#1


NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only a few more more months before he's declared rookie of the year.

It's gonna be awesome.

The Colts are one Vikings meltdown away from not having won a game. That's why he is so excited about that stupid ESPN QB rating.

Nice job going off topic in the thread Greg.. You know that's trolling right?

By the way, why aren't you posting facts that disprove the award being given to RG3 for the Rookie of the MONTH?

Troll,

Why would I want to do that when he clearly won the award? Just like when I posted that Luck won rookie of the week last week. Those are called facts, boy.

Any non-troll would agree my football knowledge far supersedes most of the posters here.

When Tony Dungy became head coach of the Bucs, most people said he'd never turn the team around. The Bucs had never been any good and were one of the worst teams in the league. But he did it, and within a short amount of time the Bucs became perennial contenders.

You went off topic like a troll and asked a completely off topic question, Greg..

You didn't praise the fact that RG3 achieved the honor, you instead chose to attack CL over something stupid in ANOTHER topic (one of yours) clogging up discussion on here..

Trolling...trollin'... trollin'........

Greg seems to forget that there is only one awesome athlete that came out of a pro Indy franchise. And that was the Knick Killer himself.

Bruised, concussed, yet still the REIGNING rookie of the month!

Congrats on your awesome feat!

Didn't Gregg say you'd be a bust?

Luck - #1
RG3- #4

How can you not love this guy?

"I thought about running out of bounds,” Griffin said, “because everyone’s been telling me that lately. [But] you know in certain situations — I felt like I had the guy outflanked and I just took off running.”

He's already taken one hard pop. He keeps running that much he won't last the season.

Yeah, if he keeps running untouched 75 yards to the endzone, he probably won't last too long in this league.
