Redskins QB Robert Griffin III Named NFC Offensive Player Of The Week

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week following his performance in a 40-32 win over the New Orleans Saints, the league announced Wednesday.

RG3 was poised in victory, completing 19 of 26 passes for 320 yards and two scores through the air. His first NFL touchdown has already spawned a viral Internet meme, and it appears the Redskins have an answer at quarterback for the first time in decades.

It wasn't perfect, but it was memorable. Griffin successfully guided Washington to an upset win before a hostile Superdome crowd. We saw RG3 attempt mostly short passes -- only two beyond 20 yards -- but that was coach Mike Shanahan's design from the start, Griffin kept mistakes to a minimum.

well deserved

 

Defnitely well deserved.

 

Maybe a TAD bit early for this kind of talk.

 

please, nick foles is already being touted as the second coming in philly lol

 

RG3 is going to be the best QB the Skins have had in quite a while. I know its been one game, but he has the talent. He's got the smarts. He'll be the reason the Redskins give A LOT of teams headaches this year.

 

Definitly, not like he has much to compare to with the crapty qbs that have been there

 

Best qb they've had since Mark Brunell. Lol.

 

It may be a TAD early for that, too. Maybe.

 

well deserved....saints had NOTHING for him, i'm glad we don't face him twice a year

 

Very well deserved as much as it pains me.

 

WASHINGTON REDSKINS 50 TIME SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS!!!!!

 

Obviously we need to see how his career plays out before anointing him but he was very impressive on Sunday. I found myself watching that game more than any other just because of him.
