Yesterday's playoff game between Washington and Seattle was less about the Seahawks first road playoff win in forever. It was more about the Redskins franchise quaterback Robert Griffin III. RG3 injured his knee late in the regular season, and didn't seem healthy at all Sunday afternoon.
Controversy sparked when the Redskins team doctor stated he never cleared RG3 to return to the Baltimore game, the game Griffin was injured. Dr. Andrews also expressed concerns over RG3 playing against Seattle...and for good reason. RG3 was injured again and the coach is coming under fire.
Can we please leave the debate there?
Today a prominent radio personality used Griffin's injury to validate his claims that pocket passers are superior to dual threat quarterbacks. He basically said (and I'm paraphrasing) This is why you draft Andrew Luck over RG3. Griffin is the fancy sports car, and Luck is the reliable SUV. He stated...to be able, you have to be available.
Duh....That goes for any position in any sport....but I digress.
This is not about Andrew Luck vs RG3. This is not about black or white. This is not about runner vs passer. It's all about winning. GET OVER IT!! Steve McNair was a great running quarterback. Troy Aikman was a prolific passing quarterback. Both careers were cut short...to injuries.
Now do I think RG3 should have been out there playing last Sunday? No I don't...
But let's please keep the debate there and not drum up that tired old debate about running qb's vs passing qb's. Both styles are winning in today's NFL. follow @plcolter
