Former Redskins Star LaVar Arrington on Where Robert Griffin III Can Find Success: "A Different Profession"
It's been a tough week for Robert Griffin III hasn't it? On Monday, he lost theRedskins' starting quarterback job to Kirk Cousins. On Tuesday, he got ripped after he blamed a social media intern for "liking" an anti-Redskins post on his Instagram. And then, former Redskins star LaVar Arrington made an appearance on Sportsnet 590 The Fan to talk bout RGIII's struggles with Washington and revealed where he thinks the oft-criticized QB will be able to find success.
"A different profession," he said. "For me, I look at it like this: Once you've damaged somebody the way he's damaged right now, I just think that it will be a longshot for him to turn out to be what he was and what people expected and anticipated him to be [after his first season with the Redskins]. When he was drafted, his rookie year, they ran a lot of Wildcat and that read-option did very well. And if you notice, it's not just Robert Griffin III that's struggled. It's guys like [Colin] Kaepernick as well. When you break down Robert's film, it's just very simple to see the things that are really, really not good."
Arrington doesn't put all of the blame on RGIII, though. In fact, he puts a lot of it on the Redskins organization. He doesn't think RGIII has been coached properly and, in general, he thinks Washington is where good NFL players go to get zapped of their powers.
"They've been a mess for a long time and it doesn't look like it's going to get any better this year," he said, before explaining that he thinks he was hurt by playing for the Redskins. "Every year that the Hall of Fame inductees go in and I watch it, I just sit there and I think about, I gave my best years to dysfunction. It just kind of bothers me a little bit…because it's like if you had the structure in place to have success, my track record kind of speaks for itself. Guys that have come in there, Robert Griffin III, guys that have been there, their track records speak for themselves. How does a guy go from being special on every level, and then they come to the Redskins and it's gone? The magic is gone. I can't explain it. It's almost a weird phenomenon, and I hate that I'm a statistic of that weird phenomenon."
Whatever it is, one thing is clear: It's time for RGIII to move on to a new destination. Let's hope this is the last tough week he suffers in a Redskins uniform.
