How healthy is RG3?
Can the Skins secondary contain Harvin?
Will the new kicker be an improvement?

Go Skins!

RG3 answered what kind of QB he is. He started off throwing a pick, and being down 0-9, a week after suffering a concussion.

--RG3 ended up being the first Redskins QB to have over 100 yards rushing … ever.

--RG3 has 5 rushing TDs, a Redskins QB single-season record.

--His 76-yard game breaking TD is the longest run by an NFL QB since 1996 (Kordell Stewart).

--Griffin had the NFL-highest completion percentage coming into the game. (69.1%) Ponder was second (69.0%). Despite an early pick, Griffin ended up 17-22 (77.3%). (Ponder went 35-32, 67.3%) RG3 through 6 games has the HIGHEST NFL completion percentage. As a rookie that is beyond impressive. So is the fact this was just his 2nd interception.

RG3 is a superstar.

Finally, Daniel Snyder made a huge trade that is worthwhile.
Bye bye Beal.

Just got back from the game.

RG3 is Superman. Unbelievable.

Would be nice if our D didn't suck but they can get takeaways and score points.

Had box seats, great view, great food, great game. RG 3 has lived up to the hype, and has probably exceeded it at this point. The crowd chanting RG 3 gave me goosebumps, just an awesome player. Here's hoping the kid can stay healthy, surround him with more talent, and this might be a Super Bowl contender in 2-3 years.

RG3 has already reached the point where it probably goes w/o saying who gets the game ball each week and everyone else is battling for 2nd place (Lorenzo Alexander deserves it this week--that guy probably deserves his own thread given how many positions he's succesfully played).

My preseason prediction was that RG3 would either be a bust or be awesome and get injured (I can't help but be cynical, I'm a Wizards fan).

Lyrical, keep the good luck coming and get us past the G-men.
