That rookie season showed how amazing he could've been though...
1NavyLT he still can be
Cam Newton I hope so. I've always liked his style of play and wish him well.
Low throw count and short passes behind good run game is average at best.
Should've won the SB
1NavyLT it’s called a flash in the pan. League figured out his limited skill set and DESTROYED him. Didn’t even make it out of his rookie season. BUST!!!!!!
The first person to ever answer a question directly without dodging and dancing around it. Plus he sounds highly educated and intelligent. I hope he can make his way back on the turf # Broncos 🤔
Kaos Thaboss was thinking the same thing go to the broncos use your pick for a rb or Oline
SacTown Izzy yessssssss I mean I’m a denver fan, and quite frankly, we really don’t have anything to loose. Give him a chance
Wtf does "sound highly intelligent and educated" have to do w/ anything? And if he wasn't?!?!
rod2467 You want a QB who is highly intelligent, not some dumbass. QB is just as much about the mind as it is about the physical talent. It is an important consideration when evaluating QBs. Are you new to football?
Matt Centeno no but listen to most professional athletes talk, they are very diligent in diverting direct questions. Not sure if it’s what was told to them by teammates or coaches, but most of them come off as meat heads who don’t have basic communication skills. Are you new to football???
Molly has a chill job...just introduces...says a few more things...listen to sports all day and get paid...shiit
She has no talent tbh
Dream job lol
GoDleeVaSquEz 49 you forget that bitch is on her knees in the owners box 65% of the time.
Patrick Bartley shit I would hire her to🤤
Patrick Bartley 😂😂
The NFL Derrick Rose
LOL
Rose won a league MVP and was an all-star caliber player for years. RG3 had a great rookie season then totally fell off. Bad comparison.
This dude was never an mvp, he's more like Greg Oden with a smaller tictac
+Taelan Baylor as well as an MVP
Quincy Gardner
Still better than salvage folks bills back up any Denver QB jets QB etc etc. along with kap.
SAS is not afraid to go there man. Damn
Lexicon Prime funny but he didn’t go there with Kyrie, because Stephen a has a problem with Lebron. Hummmmm he sounds like a bitch to me
Wasted no time 😂
Jonathan Robinson Kyrie was doing bullshit verbal jumping jacks for that entire interview.. Its not like asking him about Lebron would have guaranteed a clear and concise answer.
jumpstart55million he didn’t ask him a straight forward question about the situation because he didn’t wanna make him uncomfortable it seems.
+Jonathan Robinson Max asked him alot of tough questions and Kyrie gave him nada.
If only RG3 knew how to slide 😩
If only Mike Shanahan didn't play him in that playoff game. Sometimes you need to save the player from himself. That is what great coaches and great mentors do. Senile old man. Doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.
C Mistrinho true
C Mistrinho so true man
Something so little as learning how to slide could have preserve his career
shanahan literally played him half a season with a TORN ACL
He was never the same after that injury.
KILL EM ALŁ facts!
Definitely changed his way of thinking
VA703 what part Of North Va you From?
Hey injury ? What happened
KILL EM ALŁ Manassas
RG3 and Kaepernick should both be in the league in some capacity as backups. They both have tremendous talent.
no one wants the sideshow that goes with Kaepernick. just like Tebow, he's too much of a distraction for what he's worth.
Isaac R Tebow was a trash qb. Completed less than 57% of his passes
Isaac R wat side show? Like the man just wants to play.
Kap should be in a team starting right now. He never lost his starting spot. RG3 should be a backup until he improves his play..
Yoel he lost his starting spot to Blaine Gabbert. I'm a 49er fan who agrees with his politics, but I'll be the first to tell you he isn't a good QB.
Man, I remember him in his first year in the NFL. He was awesome. 1 hit wonder.
Nah he and lick would’ve been hall of famers if they didn’t have so many injuries
Washington is a cemetery for QB’s.
Maybe Mike should have accommodated for RG3's talent. BOB ran plays that fit DW4's skills and he looked like a MVP candidate before being injured.
Shaun Gorzell thank you for pointing that out, BECAUSE a lot of these coaches don't do that when they have dual-threat quarterbacks not at all.
It''s either be a pocket passer or I will just kick you off the NFL team because I want NOTHING to do with you.
Kirk Cousins?
Cousins would kick ass if he goes to Jags. That team is pretty much a QB way from contending.
The thing about dcs qb graveyard is they always give dc false hope with a good year or a few years then get hurt....
4:06 LOL @ Max trying to jump in.
James Jackson I was dead 💀💀
James Jackson got his shot blocked lol
He got stiff armed lol
James Jackson lol fuck max 😂 I ain’t even noticed tho
When you go up to talk to a chick at the bar, but her boyfriend shows up.
Poor guy. Would have been amazing if not for injury
TrustTheProcess doubt it
TrustTheProcess I agree....Shanahan kept him in one too many plays😔😔
With his skinny frame and his reckless abandonment for the game, injuries were bound to happen.
He can't play trust me
TrustTheProcess that’s part of the game. His frailty is part of his package.
RG3 was so amazing his rookie season, I still watch highlights from that season. I hope he lands a spot on somebodies team in the NFL.
He’s not a pocket passer like he wanted to be. He should play in a Russell Wilson type offense. I still think he can be great.
That's what Shanahan wanted him to do.. He bitched and refused..
Miggz 1Bay
What? Type correctly idiot.
Bro Russel Wilson is an assassin as a pocket passer.
dbreiden83080 Russell Wilson is a short but more built like player, he can take hits when it comes to the plays he runs. RG3 knowing he could be injured trying to run a similar scheme like Wilson, he refused . Sometimes you gotta put yourself in the players shoes and deflect on how they feel including their past.
Jay Dow The Gamecat Meow First of all RG3 is a pocket passer that has the ability to run. Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers all are passers that can run
As a redskins fan it was sad to see it play out the way it did. He had me so hyped that first year that we were finally going to start being good.
Nathan James you and me both.
Kevin Jones lol tell me about it. However, they did win in the 90s with the same name.
Nathan James me too bro...HTTR...he's still like family
Did Mike Shanahan really call a QB draw on 3rd and 17? Bruh.. Lmaooo
LOL worddd lets not gloss over this lmao
Kay Stone yup
carl jaysen Right? Beyond the fact that a QB draw rarely gets more than 10 yards, that's just putting your franchise QB in grave danger. Shanahan really hated the dude. Smh
Kay Stone it means he did what the coaches asked of him. He was not refferencing a specific play. He was dispelling the rumors that he didn't listen to the coaches or want to run zone read plays... Smh @ you guys
Lol RG3 probably had that colossal knee brace on too.
QB draw on 3rd and 17 ? That shit made me spit out my drink 😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Paul F. That never happened lol he would scramble everytime . He was never a pocket qb and never will be
Why though? Get some yards before you throw a pick
It is from a game plan perspective. Yes, RGIII had great legs but you don't put your QB in harm's way intentionally. You run QB draws for short yardage situations or to diversify your offense...not to gain 17 yards on 3rd down. That's preposterous.
It amazes me that everyone who replied to your comment showed their respective ignorance of the game! Except the ssbn comment😅
RG3 should get McNabbs spot on the show lol
Understanding 77 lmao hell yea. Are you a squirter tho?
Understanding 77 hell yes!!!!
Alberto Reyes Sorry he isn't some clown, but he's clearly very intelligent and one of the most articulate black men I've ever seen speak on the show. He should definitely take a job as some sort of analysts or commentator.
Naw I think if you got him talking football with Max and Stephen A, he’ll be good. He’s way better than Donavan with his weak ass points
@Alberto Reyes: He is a son of a military family, lol
Man I really hope someone picks him up I love watching him play so much and hes so humble.
So well spoken, loved his interview most athletes come on this show and just waste our time he held nothing back in my opinion
I'm a Browns fan and I must say that it saddens me his career was so short with us. He was one of my favorite College QBs of recent history.
Miguel Meyers Not a browns fan (Eagles) but I agree. Feel like RG3 deserves another shot.
I was never a fan of RG3, but I do think he should be in the league. Him and Kaepernick were forced out of the league, meanwhile you have garage QBs still playing.
DrCaptainSquirrel yeah those garage qbs suck
Kaepernick opted out of his contract, he killed his own career.
DrCaptainSquirrel white people hate on them for no reason
Joey Crum- After Lynch said he was going to move on from Kaep regardless. Tell the full story fool
wtf that's not only false, it's even rasist to say 'white people' always do "..." ! Me as a "white guy", I like RG3 he seems like a nice and chill dude and I wish him to get a roster spot But i hate Kaepernick! Both opinions have nothing to do with skin colour. Why do some black guys always playing this race card, if 70% or more players in the league are black? Hell not even at the QB position I can spot rassicsm anymore ... If you are good like Winston, Cam, Prescott and so on, there is nobody in the front office giving a little fucking damn about your skin colour.
This conversation is the definition of “keeping it real” !
If you're not humble, life will humble you. He's been humbled and shown that he's irreplaceable.
Rg3 just ethered his critics with 3rd and 17
My guy has the exact same mannerisms as the nba 2k18 players when they sit down to negotiate their contract
Alex Utsch 💀💀💀
I respect rg3 for being so mature about a less than stellar career. Good football player, even better person
Glad u back
SAS do the best interviews he ask the best questions
Your Majesty, hate him or like him have to admit he’s as famous and big time as he is because he’s done well as an reporter
All u had to do was slide fam
sha daddy #facts
sha daddy If he do whatever the "coach " tells him........then I'm pretty sure if the coach made sure he practice sliding then he would of done it.
Easier said than done when on the field.
He's a good articulate speaker fair play to him, a great athlete on his day and a very good QB
i really respect the man. I hope a team picks him up.
This guy needs to come back to the NFL!
Sagar Desai The Ravens h
gave him a chance, and he refused it. He rather be a free agent than a back up. Stupid considering it's a backup spot behind a guy with a lingering back injury, on a possible playoff bound team this could be his golden opportunity to prove everyone wrong about him yet again.
yeah he probably should've taken that opportunity. Sometimes I think this was his own doing, self-sabotaging ego and all...
Draymond Mean Greene #WARRIORSCAPTAIN right, he couldn’t even get a win in Cleveland and he thinks he should be a starter
I feel so sorry RG3. He was such an amazing quarterback. I hope he makes a comeback
RG3 doesn't even look the same without the long dreads
Steven Jacob He never had locks,he had braids but I see what you mean.
Arsenio Lyons 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀
Arsenio Lyons Dey need stop reachin for dat perm 🤣
Lmao!!!🤣
De'arron fox is that you lmao. 😂😂
Its always refreshing hearing one of these guys be articulate lmao
Those last 20 seconds though .... ‼️‼️‼️‼️
trey3rod shut it!
When molly asked "what can you bring to a team at this point in the season?" water!😂😂😂😂
THIS JUST IN.... Rg3 leaves the espn studio with apparent leg injury while walking off the set of first take
Exec Rogers. "WATER" LMAO...
Great interview
Smart Man, good Dude. God bless Brother.
I'm glad he got a job as an analyst. He's very good. Too bad his career was cut short. He was a wonderful player.
Been a fan of RG3 since his Heisman year...
Well put
First time seeing him in interviewed. Good one!
RG3 shot himself in the foot...or actually his knee.
Just get outkast back together already
jose ciriano I like that probably the best joke but still shut yo bitch ass up I’m not here for the jokes. Let’s go rg3
RG3... thousand.
🤣🤣😂😂
Or Keenan & Kel!
"Welcome to Good Burger!"
CONGRATS TO RGIII happy that he got signed
What a difference 2 years can make eh.!? RGIII looked hella nice in the ☔ against the Steelers to end the season. We dig him backing up Lamar. Today is Jan 1st. Ravens playoff run 2020 😎😀. Wildcat😏
RG3 is really eloquent 🙌🙌
Rg3 acknowledges the fact that he may have to settle for the backup Qb spot. But that’s just security for the coach to know you have someone who knows the field if you have to play him! Rg3 numbers are not that bad & he is a good sportsmen off and on the field! The only risk in taking someone like him is his injuries! Other than that rg3 does not bring any unnecessary attention to your organization! The guy is good! Lol
Very well spoken
Looking back at this he’s always been such a great professional. Even better on TV, wish he never got hurt
RG3 looking like a reptilian mortal kombat character
Word To Yo bama #What's Braking Nigaa!! Ig
Word To Yo bama #What's Braking Nigaa!! 😂😂
Lmao couldn't have said it any better
@@TEZIO0 yo ass better be black...I Kno dat!!!!!!
RG3 is surprising very well spoken and intellectual. Hope he gets another chance in the league, he’s an excellent talent
Steven Stamkos to
Why is it "surprising?"
Steven Stamkos Surprising? Please elaborate kid?
Draymond Mean Greene #WARRIORSCAPTAIN yeah bc most athletes talk like they’ve never read a book
Draymond Mean Greene #WARRIORSCAPTAIN Don't worry I'll elaborate for him. Basically it's surprising for him to see a black guy talk white 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾💯
Well spoken. As a young man to another well spoken, well articulated. It isn't often for a young man of such caliber to be extended the opportunity to provide his side open air. Much success wished and well done i.e. perhaps forgo football and endeavor in more suited affairs considering your talents.
he's always been a champion. heart mind and soul. he's about to be a super bowl champion too. BALLSOHARD
Dude could've been successful if he was placed into the right system.
nahor88 Oh he was placed in the right system, he just never adjusted his game to the NFL level, what he did in college, he did in the pros UNTIL TEAM'S ADJUSTED TO HIM. Then he got injured, then low & behold his weakness of being unable to read defenses, inability to pocket pass, etc, all were exploited. Which is why Cousins adjusted quite well, not nearly as athletic or fast, however he could read defenses better and was a traditional pocket passer.
boo boo I think he really needs to take his talents to the CFL.
Wooo ravens
He just needed to learn how to slide
i looked at thumbnail and thought it was Kodak Black. Had to be the Reptar Teeth.
Mello Dee Beats 😂😂😂
Mello Dee Beats 😂😂😂😂
Mello Dee Beats 😂
You must be a youngster
John McGee I'm pushing 30
Very well spoken.
I am not a skins fan but back in 2012 in his rookie year I loved how this man played ball I wanted his Jersey so bad, to bad how things have ended for him.
Still better than Jay Cutler..
Tory Lords fukkin #facts💯
That's actually pretty debatable and there's a reason cutler has a job and rg3 doesn't racism no that's not why'
***Jay cutler, Tom Savage, Jacoby Brisett, Brett Hundley, Blain Gabbert, Blake bortles, anyone starting for the Broncos.***
Tory Lords yea Jay cutler beat the goat last week give the man some credit
Cutler isn't doing too bad this season. Better than his Chicago career.
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that the Falcons blew a 25 point lead.🤔
RG3 thank for that short window & taste of Glory, it was a nice ride....
I think this interview helped him get signed by the Ravens.
2012 Offensive Player of the year is no longer playing? Something is wrong with that. Not like he cant play. Dude can play.
Shea Billadeau its called injuries
Rookie of the year
Mostly injuries. Media and narrative play too
He won offensive rookie of the year not player
RGIII is too fragile for his style of QB play in NFL. Brees, Wilson other smaller/quick QBs either have laser accuracy (Brees) or can scramble & run or pass with high efficiency (Wilson) even Tyron Smith of the Bills knows this..... Rg3 placed himself out the league....
He’s very well spoken , very smart as well . He will return . Someone has to give him a chance
Seems like a really good guy and was a very good player when healthy. He deserves another chance
Looking forward to seeing RG3 get with a solid organization that appreciates his talent and his will to win. He needs three years in the same system with a solid defense and this guy can most assuredly win a freaking Super Bowl. Know that!!
Cher P I'm a Redskins fan....he was awful. Very athletic but not a good QB. If he was, he would be on a team right now. Kirk Cousins took over his job using the same plsyers,and coach and soon he will be signing a massive deal worth millions. RG3 is not a good QB
Oh? And exactly WHO are YOU? Lies and all lies. I don't have time to debate you Kirk Cousins minions! I hope you sign your choker back to as much money as you can find!!! And then complain and get all your excuses ready because that is all I have been hearing for the last three years! When people think of cousins they always think of stats (albeit padded stats). When people think of real QB's they think of PLAYMAKING! Don't forget that while you overpay this QB who the team has gotten a WORSE record each and every year he has demanded MORE money! When you finally take him out of his training wheels offense then maybe you will see for yourself. So go 'TAKE A KNEE'.
Cher P bahaha...all I said was the truth , sorry if you can't handle. Cousins is gonna get paid in Washington or not. RG3 is doing tv shows.
Great! Im a Cowboys fan who lives in Redskin territory. Truly, I am thrilled! I want you to sign Cousins to as much money as that little Barracuda can get from you while he pretends its not about the money. Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle. Good Luck, minion.
Cher P The Cowboys are overrated trash and this season proved it not even Zeke couod save you guys from the injury riddled Seahawks lol and futhermore asking this guy who he is ? Who are you bud lol ? Your a nobody who obviously has issues if you have to rant on some random dude who was just giving his opinion so calm down bigot
Everything that happened in his career aside, RGIII seems like a very decent, well-spoken guy and a class act. Props to him.
It’s crazy cuz rg3 was such a beast quarterback at some point top 5 but all injuries and other problems didn’t let him reach his true potential and reach the height he could have
Lol Max coming out of left field at the end
Sas got balls
planetpeter917 That's what he get paid to do.
Uts easy to be tiugh with other black people. He didn't talk to Mike Shanahan that way.
Rg3 still a beast
deharleyva just gotta stay in the fuckin pocket or learn to slide
The brain in what world?
The brain ... are you sure
naw he done, had his to reedeem his self in cleveland n we saw the outcome👎
cal Brown bruh he better than more than half the backups your football is isn’t very high if you don’t think so and the last time Cleveland won a game is when he quarterbacked dumby
Happy to see his hair game is on point. Wishing him further success.
RGIII: "I'm in the building and I'm feeling myself".
Thought it was Kodak Black in the thumbnail but it's RG III lol
Rob said he’s a cornball bother 😂
He impressed me with this interview.
Good interview. #NFL
RG3 should sportscast. He always was well spoken and knows the game
Andre 3000 lol
You can tell he got emotional, that question hurts. And honestly there’s 2 athletes I wish would have never got hurt was RG3 and DRose we never got to see there full potential. They are still great and still my favorites but think of what they would have been if they didn’t get hurt and if RG3 requested a trade
Im a big time RG3 fan an im proud to say it. Ppl love to say how he should have done this an how he should have done that while he was playing like they have ever took an NFL snap in their life. But just remember 1 thing you havnt...so just respect the fact that he is still learning and has time left in his career to make a mark on the game that non of the nay sayers will ever get a chance to bc their to busy watching from the sidelines bc their not talented enough to be in the game
We good in Philly fam. We gonna take our chances
Razorman24 lol
ctfu 😂
PhillyPhilly WOOOO SUPERBOWL CHAMPS CUH! ☝✊
Jraybay 👀✊🏾
PhillyPhilly good call
RG3 >>>Derrick Rose
RG3>>> Jeremy Lin
RG3 >>> Jake Paul
RG3>>> Michael Flynn
RG3 >>> Greg Oden ..College
Him and Andrew Luck two of the biggest "what ifs" in NFL history...add Bo Jackson to the mix and all of those guys could've been revolutionary for the sport....glad all 3 guys are doing great after their playing careers
RG3 is a really nice dude
"Providing stability"
LOL doesn't this nigga get hurt every 5 minutes?
Yeah i lol’d
As an eagles fan I certainly wouldn’t mind rg3 being the back up to foles until wentz gets back
thank you! He's basically screaming to be an eagle. Eagles need to listen.
agree
Jared Shade Kaepernick is better than foles and rg3.Forget the noise around what he did. Kaepernick is hungry to play and will quiet the doubters...
Jared Shade As an Eagles fan, I agree.
Good to see him back
This guys college highlights are insane!
He looks like Jay Pharoah
RG3 was playing Russian Roulette with his career every week. The bullet that happened to go off had the name 'Ngata' written on it. It could have happened anytime because RG3 played without intelligence.
Bullet named "Ngata"! I love it! LOL!
funny how Max just randomly pops up at the end lol
Let’s get that bowl RG3 🤘🏾- A Saints Fan
Thought that was little Yachty or Jay Pharaoh for a sec lol
BLARRRRRRRRRRGGGG I swear he look like jay
BLARRRRRRRRRRGGGG I thought it was Eddie Murphy for a sec
The fact that this dude wants to play in the NFL and can't find a job is mind-blowing. He's more talented than about half the QB's in our league today; factor in his experience and ability to be a locker room guy shows how shitty the NFL actually is. Smh at all the general managers who can't seem to get their head out their asses! That's what really grinds my gears
yeezy B its the Tim Tebow Johnny Manziel RG3 Colin Kaepernick effect
Bad ass!!!
I wish RGIII all the best in the future as a professional athlete, but as a fallback or side gig, he would be a great NFL analyst on TV
Is he a brother or is he a cornball brother? Real og first take fans know
Steve Gerrard he a cornball. He beggin for a job. Kap would never
He's not your sibling
@@MoonReacts88 cornball bout to win a chip Kap begged for a tryout and still didn't get put on
There are a million accents in America. Not all brothers sound alike. I know dudes in the hood who dont talk with slang. Its all preference.
He married white. The self hate is real.
