Concussions in the NFL are no laughing matter. At all. That being said…
What the f**k, RGIII?
Or, actually in this case: What the f**k, Redskins?
During Thursday night’s preseason game against the Detroit Lions, starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins, Robert Griffin III, had to leave the game early due to some pretty heavy and dangerous hits, one of which kept him on the ground for a significant period of time before slowly walking off the field with trainers. It was announced that Griffin is questionable to return with a stinger and is being evaluated for a head injury.
This is what happens when your offensive line is absolute piss and clearly has no idea how to guard anything resembling a breathing human being, let alone their own breakable quarterback. RGIII was sacked three times leading up to the eventual hit that put him out of commission. He only completed 2 of 5 passes for 8 yards.
This gazillionth injury of the once brilliant Griffin came mere days after RGIII went on the record to say that he believed he’s the “best quarterback in the league”. Well, in order to achieve that status, you must first have an offensive line that does something more than stand there with their heads planted securely up their own asses.
Redskins coach Jay Gruden has yet to announce if the injury-prone Griffin has passed the concussion protocol.
