Does RGIII need to reign in the whole "fall on the sword" routine?

The whole, "I'll take the blame/I'm the guy with the ball/I'm the leader of the team" thing he does in press conferences like last night, and at times last year.

The media & fans will eat it up for a little bit b/c it makes him look like he's a young guy taking control, being a leader, etc., but it also sets unrealistic expectations and will grow thin soon enough if they hit a skid.

You don't hear the elite NFL QB's doing that, at least not too often. You don't hear Rodgers, the Mannings, Brees, etc doing it. And if they do it now, they certainly didn't do it at the start of their careers like Grifiin is

These guys know that anything can go wrong....you can do everything right and still the ball can bounce the wrong way and your team loses or has a bad season. :manny:

I dont know about the whole situation w/ him and McNabb, but I bet that's one thing McNabb would've told him to chill on.

It NEVER works in the long run for players.

They went in on Cam, cause he knew his team was/is some shyt, and wouldn't throw his teammates under the bus.....then white america made a fuss about him being frustrated and the suggestion box comment.

it's like we can't make up our mind on what type of personality RG3 is supposed to have..... do we want him to be dat nikka Willie Beamon or do we want him to just be the average black guy from the suburbs that he is?

people have revisionist history here too.... Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers didn't come into the league with as much hype or coverage as RG3.... Rodgers sat the fukking bench for 3 seasons, and Brees came into the league on an awful Chargers squad who went 1-15 the previous year.
