WASHINGTON REDSKINS: Quarterback Robert Griffin III "Play me or Trade me."



11/8/15



Written By: Adam Schefter



Washington Redskins Quarterback Robert Griffin III is apparently unhappy with the Organization who drafted him 2nd Overall in the 2012 NFL Draft.

"Yeah I'm pretty unhappy with how these past 2 years have gone here in Washington to be honest. I've dealt with some injuries then I was told I'm permanently benched by Coach Gruden. That's Bull**** man. I deserve to be out there on the Field every Sunday trying to win Games and get back to the Playoffs." Griffin III stated.

Washington Head Coach Jay Gruden has announced that RG3 will be benched even after returning from Injury in a few more Weeks.

"Time away from the Field will do him some good. We all love Robert but we can't keep risking to lose Games while we wait for him to get out of his funk. It's what's best for our Football Team to push forward. Kirk Cousins is our Quarterback." Gruden stated.

The Redskins are 1-7 on the year.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: Quarterback Blake Bortles: "I need to be better."



11/8/15



Written By: Adam Schefter



After Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins which dropped the Jacksonville Jaguars to 1-7 on the season, Quarterback Blake Bortles addressed the Media.

"I need to be better." Bortles said after the Jaguars lost its 6th straight. "I'm a much better Quarterback than this. I know I can be better. I need to be better. This Team depends on me."

Bortles has struggled bad this Season as the Jags sit in last place in the AFC South Division with a 1-7 Record. Bortles has played in all 8 Games this year not missing any action at all but has failed to live up to expectations as the Second Year Signal Caller has 1,645 yards, 5 Touchdowns and 10 Interceptions.

In his Rookie year playing in 13 Games Bortles had 13 Touchdowns and 13 Interceptions.

The Jaguars are all in on Bortles this year to see if he can handle being the Franchise Quarterback as Gus Bradley has announced that Bortles is the QB for the year.

No other Quarterback on the Roster (Tim Tebow, Jordan Rodgers, and Chad Henne has seen any Action this year except for Tebow who has just 14 yards.

If Bortles can't get it together in the Second half of the season then the Jags may have some decisions to make come January.
