Robert Griffin III sat down for a long interview with SBNation.com and Dan Steinberg of DC Sports Blog uncovered a few fun sound bites from Griffin's weekend interview. We love how blunt Griffin is when describing his relationship with fellow rookie Kirk Cousins. "With Kirk, it's fine. They brought me in for a reason," Griffin said. "We all know they brought me in to be the starter, and I plan to be the starter, and they brought him in for a reason as well. He knows that. And it's not a competition. Let's just go ahead and say that. But we're cool. ... We work out together, we were roommates for rookie minicamp, so there's no conflict there." There's no sense for Griffin to call it a competition when the Redskins already have made him the starter. Cousins has an uphill battle to supplant Rex Grossman as the team's backup, at least this year. Source: NFL.com
Huh. This seems rather brash. It's essentially the truth, but let's just say RG3 looks like dogcrap all training camp and Cousins lights it up. Even with everything given up to get Griffin, even with all the hype... would they start him just because he was the chosen one? I don't know if Shanny would...
Remember the Shuler/Ferotte controversy back in the day. Shuler was a top 5 pick and Ferotte was a 7th. By the end of their rookie season, Ferotte was their man Sent from my HTC Vivid
