IS RGIII AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED ?????????????

The opening day of the NFL season saw a rookie play the best game of the weekend. Robert Griffin III ( RGIII ) lead his Washington Redskins into hostile territory to take on Drew Brees and the high powered New Orleans Saints. The Redskins jumped out to an early lead when RGIII connected on a 10 yard slant with Pierre Garcon that he took 88 yards to the house. The Skins dominated the game for the most part, but inevitably Drew Brees would make some plays to bring his team closer. The Saints could not make the necessary plays to get over the hump.I watched the game on NFL Replay and had the premise that Washington would win the game. The atmosphere of the raucous Superdome was very quiet as RGIII continued to make plays on Sunday. The final score of the game was Skins-40, Saints-32. RGIII would finish 19 of 26 for 320 yards and 2 touchdowns. These are excellent statistics for a rookie making his first NFL start. I don't believe in proclaiming players as the "Greatest ever" after one game because he has a long career ahead of him. I do have a strong belief that he will have a Hall of Fame career when its all said and done. Robert Griffin III showed the poise of an NFL veteran with his play on Sunday. The score doesn't reflect the dominating performance of the Redskins as a whole. RGIII definitely sparked what is being called the upset of the weekend. In my opinion Robert Griffin III is as good as advertised. (no doubt)
