Hopefully RGIII can come over to Fox
RG3 believed in UW as a title contender before anyone else in MSM did.
He’s okay in my book.

anyone ballpark how much these people make?
From The Athletic:
While his seven-figure per year salary will be honored, his role had diminished to a point where ESPN decided to not keep him on.

Listening to the likes of Buck/Aikman is like watching paint dry. RGIII could keep a 28-0 game interesting to some extent.
Big Penix Energy will never die
I will always hold how shitty a QB he was in Washington against RG3 (but more how he was an arrogant prick to his teammates. Yes he gets some pass for Dan Snyder being Dan Snyder but RG3 was still a dick) but he became a decent commentator. I wonder if he was also a dick to his ESPN coworkers.
Chinteresting point I never considered. I assumed it was about money.
People can grow and mature
Not the poasters on this bored...
There was a lot of smoke around RG3 being the owner’s pet and therefore had more clout than the staff. Also smoke from players and coaches in that same vein. The O Line suddenly blocking better when Cousins played wasn’t an accident. I’ve heard enough from the players/coaches of that era to give it more credence than just rumors and complaining.
Dude never caught on anywhere else in a real role. Yeah, injuries but Usually when players leave the Redskins their careers get better. Never happened with RG3.
I don’t discount DJ’s comment that it is entirely possible that he has matured.

Dude actually watches the quarterbacks and analyzed them accordingly. He would openly mock some of Kiper's qb big boards and it was pretty funny. Also, he was right. He is a good color commentator. Sometimes tries a little hard for the catch phrases, sometimes they're funny too.
Neither were great, but there were dozens of useless people who should have been fired before them. Start with Sarah Spain and Meah Kimes or whatever her name is.
