That 2012 draft class, with Luck, Wilson, Tannehill, Foles, and a healthy RG3, was one of the best QB classes of the 21st century
Dont forget about Kirk Cousins
No doubt brotha. But in another sense I kind of blame this class for the way we currently evaluate young qbs, it looks like we kind of expect all qbs coming into the league to look like a prime Tom Brady, and that any bad game (which all young qbs are going to have) results in the media question of "What happened to ________" like they're not allowed to struggle at all.
And the following year 2013 was one of the worst ever.
EJ Manuel, Geno Smith, and Mike Glennon were main starters for their teams for like one or two seasons before flaming out
And you had mediocre backups like Matt Barkley and Landry Jones.
2018 might get up there if Darnold does well in Carolina
It sucks luck and rg3 were plagued by injury. Could of been a top 2 qb class ever.
You know a rookie QB was special when he wins OROY over both Russell Wilson AND Andrew Luck. RGIII had so many iconic games and moments that year. Not to mention his team starting 3-6 and winning 7 games in a row to win the NFC East.
Kid had so much potential
Then the injury bug eventually got him
What a time man. Blows my mind this was 9 years ago
Man do I wish I could rewind to that time/year... for several reasons 😎
12 yrs now after we drafted JD5. Praying for a great season to come.
Imagine what the Redskins could have been if RG3 stayed healthy
Then Kirk Cousins would be a unknown
I hope he does get better 24/7!
More Like imagine if the redskins knew how to take care of him
would’ve probably be super bowl contenders right now
If RG3 Was healthy redskins would be with records 13-3 12-4 11-5 maybe 14-2, heck the redskins could have won a super bowl
Man after watching this, it makes you wonder why Shanahan played RGIII in that playoff game on a bad leg
Because the owner wanted them to pick RG3, and i honestly think that him and Kyle weren’t s invested in his future as they should have been. I mean they drafted another Qb the same year they drafted him.
I hope Kyle doesn't ruin Trey Lance's career like Mike Shanahan did to RGIII.
@@yashtalaulikar3727 Kyle has his fare share of qb’s and now has a prospect for the future, I don’t think he can screw up this time with lance and if he does i don’t think he will get another hc job at all
@@devilniner9621 I hope not. I'm a niner's fan, so I'm really, really nervous. I've always felt like Kyle Shanahan is overrated. People say he's a "QB whisperer". To me, a QB whisperer, is a coach who can take any QB and make them good, and win with them.There are only 3 coaches in the NFL that are QB whisperers: Andy Reid, Sean Payton, and Kevin Stefanski. He's more of a QB guru, like Bruce Arians, where he can get the most out of a QB and win with good QB only, but with a terrible QB, can't get results. If Trey is elite, then I'll give more credit to Shanahan. But I have to see it to believe it.
True
There are so many Washington Quaterbacks that have seriously hurt their leg that it isn’t even funny anymore tbh but RGIII looked promising until the leg injury happened
Facts
Facts
It feels like a "curse" at this point...
Facts
Except kirk
Maybe the greatest debut by a rookie QB ever. RG3 was on fire today. Maybe the best game of his career, too
Nah when he torched my cowboys on thanksgiving was his best game ever. I’m sad he got hurt, I looked forward to the rivalry he promised
That award goes to Marcus mariota
I’m a die hard Redskin fan. I’m so upset RG3 got hurt, the most exciting season of my life (born after the Riggins/Theisman era) and even more upset we changed the name. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS
Kids these days really don’t know how good this dude was and it makes me sad
He wasn't that good though and couldn't read a defense.
The Saints had no way to stop the RPO from the beginning💀 absolutely cooked
Par for the course for the 2012 Saints defense. They’d have trouble stopping my high school teams offense.
RG3 was special his rookie year wish he had of just not rushed back after that hit against Baltimore up 14-0 against the LOB what could of been
ur right but he did get hurt with some type or torn leg injury in college also otherwise I would say ur right
Losing Garcon the bulk of the season after that long TD run definitely affected the offense down the road. He was really RG 3's go to guy,
The first time in my life that I felt like we had a franchise QB.
Me too 😂😂
Clicked faster than RG3 could run
Same here
He was special man, sad what injuries did
He was, but coming from a Washington fan he did have some big holes in his game even before the injury
@@lampini fam he was only a rookie tho😂😂😂the potential was crazyyyy I think he would’ve been pretty than Russell Wilson tbh
What's sad is the utter disregard for a young man and his future.. I'm a huge Mike Shanahan fan, he could and would put anyone in the backfield and turn them into 1,000 yard rushers.. but he did RGIII so wrong by rushing him back and allowing him to play. Mike didnt want him and that was obvious in the 2012 draft when he took Kirk Cousins just a few rounds later.
@@26Messick I agree that he definitely should not have came back for week 1. If he was going to be our guy we shouldn’t rush him
He shouldn't have been playing in the playoffs get v Seattle. If I remember correctly, they let him play hurt and I don't remember him ever being % after that
This perfectly displays the Saints in those down years after Bountygate. Defense couldn't stop anyone, Brees putting the team on his back and doing everything he could to keep us in it. A lot of those teams should not have been like 3 win teams, but our record was constantly near .500 because of Drew
Man, it won't be the same without Drew Brees in the NFL...
If he stayed healthy he would be a great quarterback
Damn. Shanny had a game plan. Made it easy on the rook.
I really thought RG3 was gonna be a beast his whole career
He would have if Kyle Shannahan didn’t sabotage his career and play him on a bad leg.
Wish it was like madden I wanted to turn the injury setting off😪
RGIII had so much potential. Too bad some leg injuries ruined his career.. good thing he’s still in the nfl
Nah, Shannahan ruined his career by having him play
I think this upcoming season will be his last
The success that Mahomes is having is the success we thought rg3 was gonna have 😭
I was never more excited for football games than when RGIII was starting. On another level he couldn't even control
Pierre Garcon used to be something else back then..
Brooooo
That was my GUY... even when we had Djax too that was such a nasty little combo, speedster down the sidelines and a big brutal slot receiver with mad yards after the catch. 🔥
**can’t forget about Jordan Reed too... omg was that a trio
2012 NFL Draft had some serious QB play
Future Hall of Famer in Wilson
Great players like Luck, Cousins and Tannehill
Flashes in the pan like RG3 and Foles
If you consider a flash in the pan qb a super bowl winner coming off the bench, then I'll take more flashes in the pan please.
I wouldn't call Cousins a great player.
Even bad QBs that year had their time to shine. Brock Osweiler would go 5-2 in 2015 in place of Peyton Manning, which included a victory over the New England Patriots, keeping the Broncos afloat which would eventually culminate in them winning the Super Bowl. The season could've easily been lost if the Broncos had someone like Brodie Croyle at QB instead of a half-decent Brock Osweiler. Lol
Don't forget too the undrafted free agency class that year included Case Keenum, who's not bad at all for a player that wasn't drafted.
@@derpmcgerp8062 If Tannehill, Luck, RGIII, and Foles could've all stayed healthy, I think u'd be talking about one of the more underrated QB draft classes in NFL history. Luck and RGIII especially were on HOF trajectories before their career-altering injuries.
@@yashtalaulikar3727 Tannehill’s as well lol
Coming from a Washington fan I miss RG3 before he had his injuries...it’s not every day some kid comes out of the draft to beat Drew Brees
HTTMFR.. I was at this game :)
I feel like his debut doesn’t get talked about enough
Imagine this Redskin offense and today's Redskins defense almost unstoppable
I’m surprised I haven’t seen a comment about how it’s the redskins instead of “the football team”. I’m glad
They will forever and always be the redskins.
It’s actually the opposite, they’re the Washington Football Team now and we’re formerly the Redskins... if we’re being grammar conscious
🙃
@@joeymcquilkin3670 are you talking to me or?
Pain. Nothing but pain
2012: Russ, Kap, RG3. The future was bright. Was.
Don't forget Luck and Foles
@@billy248 Luck had a successful career.. Multiple pro bowl appearances..
@@javonbatiste5984 Foles owns a few nfl records and a Super Bowl and Pro Bowl MVP to his name
Russ the best QB from the 2012 draft
And that was kyle shanahan's offense. RG3 could have been special. But that knee injury against the ravens and the nfl playoffs ruined his career. He was never the same after his rookie year.
Man watching a healthy RGIII makes me so so sad for what could have been a fantastic career. He was so fun to watch and bro I wish that there were some way he could save that knee.
Ah memories, to my first full season as a fan, as a Washington fan. This game had me so optimistic for the future. Ashame, RG3 had such a promising future
Remember, the Saints were without Sean Payton in 2012. Of course, they also lost Gregg Williams and subsequently possessed a horrible defense (I think their run D was among the worst ever?). On top of those things, this game was played during the three week stretch when the NFL was reduced to using replacement referees. A bizarre time for sure.
In the alternate universe where this dude never got hurt, him and the Shanahans would’ve freaked the entire league out! Dude had some rare stuff!
RG3 was so Electric ⚡️
i have been waiting for a throwback forever!!!! FINALLY
man I miss RG3 , became my favorite qb in the NFL his first season in the league.. what could’ve been💔
Miss Drew Brees already
Brandon Weeden went 9/28 with three picks lol
We had a squad. Morris was a beast in the zone blocking run game. We have Orakpo and Kerrigan. Fletcher and a prime DHall. We also had an allstar cast of incredible coaches.
Redskins uniform & helmet was so nice 👏🏽
Rg3 had crazy potential if he was not rushed back he probably would've been Washington's starting qb for over a decade
That season was so fun and frustrating at the same time. After like 3/4 through the season you could start to see his decline, and it was steady until his leg finally gave out in the playoffs v Seahawks... it was taring because even at half strength/ being hurt RG3 was still our best chance of winning and I think it was so hard to take the foot off of the gas pedal because we was so good and we were competitive for the first time in a decade, BUT they definitely should have taken him out toward the end of the season and lived to fight again the next year, unfortunately they didn’t and Griffin would never be the same again 😖
Bears vs. Lions MNF 2011 has gotta be on this channel at some point.
I know that game cause my dad & I went to that game.
Absolutely!
when detroit had supposedly arrived again I remember lol and Brandon Merriweather chasing Calvin Johnson lol im a packers fan but remember
No one wants to see Detroit do anything
*straight POOP son
Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, and Mike McDaniels were all on the coaching staff of this redskins team. This offense truly catered to the running qb like we’ve never seen before. RG3 might be the best that never was.
RGIII wasn't the same since his knee injury
RGIII, What a talent !
Was at this game. I was so impressed as a Saints fan in RG3 and instantly became a fan of him as a player. It’s sad to see injuries derail such a promising career and we will always be left wondering what if?
Cant believe this was 10 years ago!!! if only he could stay healthy....he took so many brutal hits and most of them could have been avoided.
Those Redskins uniforms were fire 🔥
Miss the redskins so much
Bring back the logo.
@@gruberhans1062 Native Americans weren’t offended, plus it gave them representation which is a good thing, if they don’t bring it back I hope the new brand and logo is still Native American themed
@@Max-wd6og I agree, I thought the logo was one the nicest logos in the nfl and they should definitely bring it back
Made my username back in middleschool from this guy. Had so much potential 😭
Videos been fire lately
🔥
3:30 that shot is iconic
They kept showing it on first take that next day
Not just RGIII but so many DAWGS in this game. Cool stuff man.
Feel really bad for RG3 dude could’ve been a great QB and a franchise QB for Washington
Garcon was my favorite dog in these fights! Always hard chargin'..
it was so satisfying to watch RG3 in his rookie year. especially after having to watch rex grossmna and john beck the year before
The 5 rookie graphic at 13:12 who would've thought only Russell Wilson & Ryan Tannehill are the only ones still playing in the league today. Just amazing.
Truly tho , RG3 was special man , and it’s really unfortunate to what happened to his career, those injuries really did suck
Very good upload
He was the man that year. Too bad he got hurt and he was all about, “ready for week one” the next season
It's worth mentioning the 2012 saints defense was statistically the worst in NFL history
Thanks for giving me another "first game" !
That was one hell of a performance.on the road no less.
Wow. That game was fire.
what a time. this was my favorite football era.
rg3. the seahawks. arian foster and the texans. patriots doing their thing.
Seeing how every other team was doing too. Crazy how long it’s been
Garcon got hurt on that first touchdown right at the end when the defender clips his feet. Season would have been much better if he was healthy.
OMG what a game
Miss when we were the Redskins and Having RGIII then Cousins, Cousins/Jackson was a fire combo, they led over Brees and someone, as well as Brady/Moss in 20+ yard completions one year, maybe TDs as well, was good times
Football hit different back then.
Rglll was a great Player
Will Smith is a actor and a football player WOW
dude is talented...
@@ezekwu exactly
I started him on my fantasy football team, week 1.
He looks great here but i can also see how he got injured so much. Kid never protected himself
I’m actually from the future. RG3 signs with the Cowboys 🙌🏽
Good then they can suck even worse 🤠 👎🏻
Was shocked and amazed #HTTRGANG
RG3 went toe to toe with Future hall of famer Drew Brees on his First game in the NFL, by passing, his accuracy and arm strength was insane, and in the playoffs he was beating the eventual super bowl winners the Seahawks on one leg, and when he left the game, Kirk Cousins lost us the game, I was so happy when they didn't resign him, I never forgave him for that loss
Such a shame that RG3's career plagued buy injuries he was a great athlete and very fun to watch
Always forget how damn good RG3 was. Equally dangerous in both parts of his game
2012 RG3 was exciting
2:49 great throw, better catch.
Man... good times. This made me sad
Yes he was
We never know and some people say he is the Derek rose of nfl history but even though I like him I think he is like the wild cat and was a guy who once defensive coordinators adjusted ontop of dealing with injuries and telling Shanahan he wanted to be like peyton manning I think made everything more challenging than it already was which would make most fail but I respect the way he carries himself and doesn't make excuses
it's hilarious seeing names like Jake Locker scroll by on the bottom graphic knowing that their careers didn't go so well lol
ya and he ruined his draft stock like Matt Barkley did when he came back for his senior year except Jake locker didn't comeback to a team with national title aspirations.. but locker was still a first round pick who atleast got one payday
Idc what anyone says, RG3 was a baller, and his career was derailed by bad management of the Washington organization, shouldn’t have played him with that bad knee, was never the same after that, had all the potential to be great in the NFL
Imagine had he not played in the playoffs against Seattle & sat him for the early part of 2013. Who knows what could’ve been this dude was well on his way to being an elite QB.
Wasn't this still during bounty gate?
Incredible debut for RG3 in a game that everyone thought would be a easy Saints win.
I was at this game. Every Saints fan, myself included thought that we were going to go on a Bountygate Revenge tour starting with decimating the Redskins with their rookie QB. Especially after the blocked punt it looked like we were heading for it.....but RGIII absolutely torched us. It was probably the best game I saw anyone on the opposing team play in person. Props.
RGIII DECIMATED IN FANTASY. Won me so many games
22-minute video was stopped NINE TIMES for ads. Seriously? I'll never use FanDuel again.
Everyone says rg3 is the Derek rose of the nfl but I think defenses would have adjusted to him even if he had stayed healthy, but still its a heck of a achievement the way he played during his rookie year and much respect the way he has handled the last few years
I was 11 years old when this game happened I remember this game like it was yesterday😂
I was 24 and i remember it like it was yesterday 😂
Man you're young, i was 26, lol.
This is the year we had the worst defense ever.
