Man has this dude fallen off the face of the earth or what.
Gone from Rookie of the year/poster boy, to the bench and most likely cut. Plus, seems every other day when he opens his mouth it's to say something dumb.

They traded THREE....thats riiiight....THREE #1 picks for him....
Alec Ogletree is among the players the Rams selected with picks received in the RGIII trade.Less than two years ago, the Washington Redskins made a franchise-changing deal when they traded with the St. Louis Rams to get the second-overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, selecting Robert Griffin III. To get that pick, the Rams received three first-round picks and a second rounder.
Griffin and the Redskins’ performance have been broken down in detail this season. But, in the end, the Rams may have gotten better end of the deal, as they’ve turned the first three picks into seven players, including three defensive starters, and still have the Redskins 2014 first-round pick in hand.
Here’s a look at what each of those picks have become.
2012 First-Round Pick
The Rams didn’t trade down far to make the original trade, only moving down from second to sixth. But from there, the sixth pick was again traded down again, this time to the Dallas Cowboys for the 14th-overall pick and a second-round pick.
The 14th pick became defensive tackle Michael Brockers, who has 9.5 sacks in his two NFL seasons. This season, Brockers has started every game, and his 5.5 sacks are tied for seventh among all defensive tackles.
The second-round pick originally received was traded to the Bears for the pick that became Alshon Jeffery. The Rams moved down five spots in the deal, selecting running back Isaiah Pead, who has mostly contributed on special teams this year. St. Louis also picked up a fifth-rounder in the deal, tackle Rokevious Watkins, who was waived after his rookie season.
2012 Second-Round Pick
Janoris Jenkins

#21 CB

Ast6
Sack1.0
Int1
PsBrk12
The Rams actually held on to this pick, and wisely so, as they selected cornerback Janoris Jenkins.
Jenkins has already emerged as one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, starting all 14 games this season. He has 12 pass breakups this season, which is tied for the fourth-most in the NFL.
2013 First-Round Pick
The Rams again traded this pick (22nd overall) down, this time to the Falcons, picking up an extra third and sixth-round pick, giving up a seventh-rounder in the deal.
Moving down eight spots in the first round, St. Louis picked LB Alec Ogletree, who has started all 14 games as a rookie. His 102 tackles rank first on the team and T-24th in the NFL. He’s tied for 13th in the NFL with nine tackles for loss, and his eight pass breakups are second in the NFL among linebackers.
The third-round pick became wide receiver Stedman Bailey. He only has 10 receptions for 149 yards in his rookie season, but eight of those receptions and 118 of the yards have come in the last three games, both team highs in that span.
Most Rushing Yards
NFL Rookies This Season
The Rams took the sixth-rounder, and packaged it with their existing sixth-rounder to move up to the fifth round to get starting RB Zac Stacy. Stacy’s 854 rushing yards this season are second among rookie running backs.
2014 First-Round Pick
The Rams greatest haul in the deal could come in the next draft, as they will receive the Redskins’ first-round pick this year, which as of right now, stands as the second-overall pick.
In Todd McShay’s first mock draft, he has them selecting Texas A&M OT Jake Matthews in that spot.

Was never the same since Shanahan left him in that game with his shredded knee.
Plus he sounds like a primadonna too.
No way would I want his salary cap hit or his terrible hair do on my team.

What's really funny is that a ton of people gave that Nolan Nawrocki guy shit a couple years ago for calling RG III lazy, a diva, etc before he was drafted and everyone flipped out saying that those allegations were unfounded and that he was a racist.
Turns out, the guy was dead-on balls accurate.

I said it then and I say it now....he should have never went back into that playoff game... I'm not sure if he will ever be able to throw from the pocket but at least he would still have that world class speed that fueled his rookie season.... |

If you are goin to let your QB get abused like that, then expect the situation you have now. |

The RGIII saga Will fade into silence over time as the "...what could have been" story collects dust.

If you are goin to let your QB get abused like that, then expect the situation you have now. Also, they had a fairly competent backup who could have feasibly won them that game still...and maybe RG3 can play the next playoff game. Instead he puts him in when he can barely walk and they are still calling bootleg runs!!! That guy treats his players like mules. Exhibit a) Terrell Davis. |

He has never been the same since that playoff game. I cant kill Shanny for letting him play. That was an impossible spot for both of them. I had so much respect for him after that game and you got the feeling his teammates really bought in. Its crazy how he has fallen off. He seemed like such a hard working humble kid and then all of sudden he turned into a bit of an ass. Snyder constantly blowing smoke up his ass didnt help. You have to let your coaches coach the players and not interfere. RG3 should have never been able to go over Shanny's head and go to Snyder.
There will be many teams that will want to scoop him up. I hope the Jets arent one. This is not the type of environment he should be in. Maybe he could put the pieces back together in a place like Arizona or Houston.
