In Colt We Trust: Redskins Bench RGIII

In case you missed it, the Redskins have made the switch. Jay Gruden has decided that Robert Griffin III is not the quarterback he wants executing his offense. The Redskins play the Colts this Sunday.

Why has RG3 been benched? It’s very simple. Robert Griffin is one of the worst pocket passers in the game by the numbers. RG3 holds on the ball longer than any other quarterback, fails to see open receivers, and routinely does not throw balls on time. This leads to a frustrated locker room and a head coach that tells you to “worry about your self.”

Robert Griffin averages 2.82 seconds per pass attempt, highest of any current NFL starter. Just not a quick decision-maker.
