It appears as though the experts are making some bold predictions for this week’s games. On paper, there are some pretty epic battles between some good quarterbacks and some good defenses with the advantages going to the quarterbacks. Griffin III has passed the concussion tests and was limited at practice. He is listed as Questionable and knowing Coach Shannahan its a strong possibility that will bench Griffin III in fear that the concussion has affected his cardiovascular endurance. If you have Griffin III as your main QB, I recommend that you have your back up on stand by and if you don’t have a quality back up, get one fast! You don’t want to be caught off guard Sunday morning if the Redskins rule Griffin III Out for the game. As you all know I pull my prediction rankings from NFL.com, ESPN.com and Fleaflicker.com fantasy football. They all have different scoring systems, so don’t compare the actual projected scores, but focus on the quarterback rankings.

Looking at the ESPN.com predictions, the only reason I don’t agree with a top 5 of Rodgers, Stafford, Brady, Peyton and Eli Manning is because I see match-ups on the road versus 5 good defenses. (Houston, Phila., Seattle, San Diego, San Fran) Granted these are 5 quarterbacks that usually produce versus every NFL team, I don’t see them putting up the top 5 point totals versus these 5 defenses on their home turf. I believe the low projections for Griffin III are due to the thinking that even in the event that he plays, Washington will eliminate as much of the running portion of his game as possible. Taking away roughly 100 yards on the ground and a touchdown, justifies the decreased projection.

I don’t see this hurting the Redskins because of the emergence of Alfred Morris as a dominant running back. He has had a stellar season so far, currently #4 in the league in rushing yards. As good as he has been, I see Morris having his breakout game this Sunday vs. Minnesota with some of the workload coming off of Griffin III’s shoulders. I project his first career 200+ yard game as a professional and the Fantasy Stud of the week. (Remember you heard it here first)

I really can’t stand the football cliche, “He can make all the throws”, but Robert Griffin III showed that he can definitely do just that. Griffin put on a show today, completing 75 of 81 pass attempts, four of which were perfect passes that were dropped. I don’t think the Redskins’ quarterbacks from last year could complete that many standing ten feet from Jerry Rice. ESPNU had the coverage, and commentator Andre Ware called Griffin’s footwork “flawless”, and called his movement in the pocket “poetry in motion”.  Taking most of the snaps from under center, Griffin showed great skill in running bootlegs, play action, 3 step drops, and 5 step drops, and did so while singing along to Michael Jackson and Notorious B.I.G. songs that played in the stadium. His arm strength and accuracy were truly amazing as he hit wide receiver Kendall Wright and running back Terrance Ganaway in stride several times. A lot of people believe that Griffin didn’t need to bother with his pro day since he already knows he’ll be one of the top two picks in April’s NFL draft, but he’s the kind of guy who wants to prove that he’s as good as advertised, as well as helping his friend Kendall Wright’s stock improve. Redskins fans should be praying that Andrew Luck’s pro day is just as impressive tomorrow, so RGIII will be almost guaranteed to be wearing burgundy and gold on April 26th!

Please, Robert, come to Washington and break our streak of bad quarterbacks!! - Jerome Miron-US PRESSWIRE
