RG3 Jumps A Few Times, Does 2 Jumping Jacks, Runs Off Stage

Here's a clip (before it gets deleted) of Rober Griffin III at the Redskins draft party at FedEx field on Saturday afternoon.  The NFL Network had cameras on hand and showed a clip of the injured quarterback taking the stage.

RG3 got the crowd pumped up and chanting his name by doing an exercise that my great grandmother does every morning, jumping jacks.  Robert did a whole 2 of them which of course is an equal comparison to running around the field avoiding 300 pound monsters who are all trying to snap your leg in half.

When his speech was over, RG3 did a quick foot running drill as he headed off stage, also caught on video by a fan.

The Skins are clearly Super Bowl bound!  All in for week 1.  At least of Jazzercize if not football. Videos follow:

RG3 Would Be Ready For 2013...If He Was Benched After The Ravens Game

Well that headline isn't exactly a fact...but...

With the news just in about Robert Griffin the third under going a "successful" surgery, doubt still looms about whether or not he will be 100% before the start of the 2013 season.  Doctor James Andrews is hiding behind a vague answer.

One thing is for sure, the Redskins better not let him step one foot on the field until he is 100%. Not 50%, not 90%, not even 99.9999999999999%.  Robert Griffin is the Redskins fans' golden ticket and their chocolate factory is a large stadium in East Rutherford New Jersey.

If something doesn't change offensively with the gameplan that keeps RG3 safe from himself as well as the opposing defenses, then the trust of Redskins fans goes right out the door.  Fan-anger is already at a fever-pitch after coaches allowed the QB to keep taking the field after his initial injury against the Ravens.

And think about this for a minute; had the Skins removed Griffin from the lineup earlier, he may have still required surgery.  If that happened he would already be in his second month of recovery and rehab.  That would have nearly guaranteed his knee would be better for the 2013 campaign.

Instead, Redskins fans will have to cross their fingers and hope for the best.

What does that mean!  It means we should all rent the movie Mr. Destiny and watch it 5 times.
