What Teams Could RG3 Go To

Until last year, it has been hard to be a Redskins fan. Particularly for one reason. Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin lll [ also known as RG3 ], now has had three consecutive disappointing years. During his first bad year, I thought it was just because he was coming back from an injury and all that. The Redskins went 2-14 and obviously did not make the playoffs. The second year, I thought RG3 would bounce back. He did not. He got injured in week two and when he returned, he wasn't all that good. I was beginning to lose hope by the time the 2015-16 season came around. And again, RG3 got injured, this time, during week two of the preseason. Kirk Cousins replaced him and the Redskins went on to win the NFC East. Now that the 2015 season is over, RG3 is a free agent. One question a lot of Redskins fans are wondering about is this: Which team will RG3 go to. We already know that Bruce Allen confirmed he won't be with the Redskins next season. Here are two very good possibilities for him.

Denver Broncos


We know that RG3 wants a starting job. There could be an opportunity for him in Denver. Think about it: Peyton Manning is getting old. That would mean that RG3 would have to win the starting job over Brock Osweiler which he has the ability to do. RG3 has the skills and the talent. Also, with C.J. Anderson in the back field, RG3 might be able to utilize the read option again. The only thing that is holding him back right now is his decision making. A lot of his injuries have come from him trying to make a play and scrambling in the pocket. Also, I do not know if Gary Kubiak's offensive style would fit RG3.

Kansas City Chiefs

Andy Reid has experience working with mobile quarterbacks. For example, Alex Smith is one of them. Alex Smith is similar to RG3. He too has running ability. Also, if you remember when Andy Reid was the head coach for the Eagles, you would know that Michael Vick played quarterback for them back then. I don't know if RG3 would be a starter there, but he could learn something, playing with a veteran quarterback like Alex Smith. And again, with a good running back in Jamaal Charles, RG3 could also utilize the read option in that situation too.

Comment below, and tell me which team you think RG3 will go to.

What Position Do The Redskins Have The Most Struggles With

The Washington Redskins are coming off a great year. A year in which they made the playoffs. There were a lot of ups and downs to that season. But we are only going to focus on one thing. What position are the Redskins targeting this off season? Here are a couple of positions I think they might need.

The Redskins are in need of a safety. They had just acquired Dashon Goldson last year and Kyshoen Jarrett. Dashon Goldson was a good fit last year but they need someone to back him up. One possibility for the Redskins are Eric Berry, the 4 time pro-bowler. Berry is a free agent. The all-pro safety currently plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has been one of the best and most impactful safety's in the NFL ever since he entered the league. But chances are, Berry will stay in Kansas City. The Chiefs defense needs a leader like him. For the Chiefs, it would be safe to keep Berry, because Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson are in free agency too.

I do not know what the Redskins should do with Pierre Garcon and Desean Jackson. They are both good quality players. Pierre Garcon provides toughness and has good hands. Desean Jackson provides play making and speed. If they gave up one of those receivers, they could possibly get a really good player in return.

The Redskins secondary is looking really good. They have Bashaud Breeland and Chris Culliver who will be healthy going into the 2016-17 season. Breeland made a big impact for the Redskins. He covered multiple star receivers such as Odell Beckham Jr., and Brandon Marshall. Culliver got injured midway through the season but he was looking good. So far, I do not think the Redskins need a lot in the secondary other than maybe a safety. They should save their salary space for a different group of players like the defensive line.

How Jeremy Lin Has Impacted The Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets have finally clung to the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference after beating the Indiana Pacers 117-95. A lot of people have been talking about Kemba Walker and how he has helped the team more then anyone, but Jeremy Lin in my opinion is the Hornets key player. He has helped them late in games and has made some key plays.

Lin has had some games where he has filled in for Kemba Walker. It seems like in each one of those games, he has played well. One recent start for him was when the Hornets played the Cavaliers. The Hornets won that game by a score of 106-97. Lin had 24 points and 8 assists. He had some crucial buckets late in the game that led the Hornets to a win. As a starter, Jeremy Lin averages 17.8 points per game and 4.7 assists. If I were Steve Clifford [ Hornets head coach ], I would start Lin over Walker. If he gives you wins, start him, it's simple.

Playoff Picture

If the playoffs started today, the Hornets would be playing the Cavaliers. There are two ways this series could go.

1. Kemba Walker gets the start over Jeremy Lin and the Cavaliers cruise to a victory. When Walker is on the floor, the ball tends to not move around a lot and it is a one man show. That strategy is not going to work against the Cavaliers defense. Against a team like them, it is going to take more than one person to win that series.

2. Jeremy Lin gets the start and the Hornets win the series. Offensively, Lin is a better ball distributer than Walker, and gets other people involved. When he is in, the ball moves around a lot more. Defensively might be a struggle for Lin guarding Kyrie Irving, but Lin is a solid defender, and I have a feeling he will limit Irving. If he does that, the next guy to move on to is Lebron James, and if Michael Kidd-Gilchrist comes back, he will be the one defending James. After those two people, Cleveland does not have a bunch of other scoring options.

The Hornets season depends on what happens to one player. That player is Jeremy Lin. It also depends on Steve Clifford and the decision he makes. And Kemba Walker and what happens to him in the future. But remember that the playoffs don't start until April. Until then, we will see what happens.

Should the Redskins let go of Alfred Morris?

The Redskins are going to have to make a couple big choices. But one of the bigger ones involve running back Alfred Morris. They have the choice to let him go, or hold on to him. It is a huge choice to make. To me, it seems like Alfred Morris is the most reliable running back on the Redskins. He might not be the quickest or most explosive running back on the team but he does not turn the ball over often. Morris is coming off a disappointing year. He had 751 rushing yards and just one touchdown. The Redskins running game as a group did not do well in the 2015-2016 season at all. Before Morris's poor rushing year, he had consecutive 1,000 yard rushing seasons for three years. It was his first year below 1,000 rushing yards. Morris also only averaged 3.7 yards a carry.

If the Skins do let go of Morris, they still have a couple of other good weapons in the running game. They have Matt Jones who is a pretty explosive back, and he can also give you good quality runs. Then they have Chris Thompson who is a great back that you can dump the ball off to in the backfield. They also have Pierre Thomas, an extra veteran back that they signed late in the season.

So if the Skins do let go of Morris, they will still have a solid running game. I personally like Morris but now think it is time for the Redskins to move on from him and see what awaits them on the road ahead.

Broncos vs Panthers Super Bowl Preview

We are finally at the end of the 2015-2016 NFL season. But there will be one more game.

The Denver Broncos will be playing the Carolina Panthers. Both of those teams were the #1 seed team going into the playoffs. We have Cam Newton, playing in his first Super Bowl, and Peyton Manning playing in what will probably be his last Super Bowl. Both of these teams have come a long way but only one of them can win. I am going to be giving you two reasons why each team has a chance to win. First off, the Denver Broncos.

1. A couple weeks ago, the Broncos gave up just 18 points to the New England Patriots and the legendary Tom Brady. They have the #1 defense in the NFL. This weekend, it will probably be a harder task to contain the very versatile Cam Newton. Newton has a great arm and can run and pass. I think if the Broncos defensive line can keep Newton in the pocket and force him to throw the ball, guys like Aqib Talib, and Chris Harris Jr. in the secondary will make plays.

2. This is Peyton Manning's last Super Bowl. You have to think he is going to put something extra in. He played decent against the Patriots and he's had a two week rest. He also has the weapons that he needs. He's got Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. Both of them are speedy and athletic.

Now, two reasons why the Panthers could win.

1. The Panthers have the more versatile quarterback in Cam Newton. If you saw what Cam Newton did to that dominant Arizona Cardinal defense, it's hard to tell if the same will happen against the Broncos. In my opinion, the Broncos do have a better defense. I'm not sure if it will be too easy for Newton this weekend. He might need to use his legs a little more than he usually has to.

2. This Panther defense harassed the Cardinals offense last week creating 6 turnovers! This week they face Peyton Manning who is not at all a versatile quarterback. I think it is safe to say that the Carolina defense is going to give Manning a hard time.

For this game, I am picking the Panthers to win 23-16. I think the Broncos defense will make it tough for Cam Newton in the beginning, but in the end, it is going to come down to talent, and that is something that Cam Newton has more of.
