Mike Shanahan hasn’t coach RG3 in close to two-years, but that hasn’t stopped him from commenting on his former franchise quarterback to be.
Shanahan told 106.7 The Fan’s “Grant and Danny” show he doesn’t believe injuries are the issue for RG3, but the way he goes about his business.
Griffin is a “bright guy” and has “a lot of ability” but still “hasn’t done” everything needed to succeed in the NFL.
“Robert’s got a lot of ability. He’s a charismatic guy, he’s got mobility, he’s got arm strength. He’s a very bright guy,” Shanahan said. “But he hasn’t done things that the NFL asks you to do and it does take some growing pains to go through that.”
Shanahan refused to blame it on injuries.
“I don’t think getting hurt has anything to do with it,” Shanahan said.
It being the rapid downfall of the former No. 2 pick.
“At least in my opinion, nobody is the unquestioned starter regardless of what position you play,” Shanahan said. “You’ve got to go out there and prove every year that you’re the best guy at what you do. You’re teammates know very quickly. You as a head coach, if you start somebody regardless of what position it is, and the players understand maybe you’re not playing the best player, you lose that football team very quickly.”
