Mike Shanahan talks reasons why RG3 is no longer an NFL quarterback | UNDISPUTED 

Are you surprised nobody will give RG3 another chance?

I forgot all about RG3 Skiulppp!!!!

Shannon is all calm next to his old coach 😂😂

The most quiet Shannon has ever been in his life. You can tell he respects Mike

Shannon on his best behaviour 😂😂😂😂

He did have an amazing rookie season. RG3 and Alfred Morris were dak and zeke before they were dak and zeke

Alfred Morris should get credit for that rookie year. As a fellow rookie running back with RGIII, Alfred Morris ran 1600+ yards. RGIII? Alfred Morris is the forgotten man that deserved more credit. RGIII running with Alred Morris was a tough duo.

Even after his ACL he never became that pocket passer he wanted to become 🤷🏻‍♂️ time has shown Mike was right

It's so awesome hearing the perspective of the coaches on certain players. Why haven't I seen this before? I enjoyed seeing Shanahan talk

If RG3 had simply learned to slide we wouldnt be having this conversation.

I used to think Shanahan was the downfall of RG3. But Griffin playing injured, then healing shouldn't have cause a person to lose all their ability to make plays a year later. Now it makes sense. RG wanted to change to a style he wasn't suited for.

I never understood how an athlete like RG3 couldn’t learn how to slide like a baseball player. That alone was a huge reason for all his injuries.

Joe Flacco has the best agent in the history of NFL quarterbacks.

Mike has so much knowledge about the game of football. He tried to develop RG into a dropback, but it takes time, time RG wasnt willing to deal with. Mike should be coach of the Broncos today.

Because you left him in when he was hurt

RG3 did this to himself. He failed to take ANY responsibility for weaknesses in his game. He was always passive aggressive in dealing with ANY criticism and HATED being coached. In Cleveland they were trying to get him to throw the ball away if none of his reads were open. What was his passive aggressive response......EVERY time he threw the ball away he would throw it over the 15 foot high fence that surrounded the practice field.

RG thought the coaching was holding him back. Instead it was exactly what he needed. Look at Lamar.

Mike Shanahan makes me wanna clear my own damn throat when he’s talking smh soo raspy

RG3 isn't an NFL QB because of his multiple injuries. He's the Derrick Rose of the NFL.

I love how skip asks a question on off-the-field stuff and mike completely ignores it and restates what he just said

but he has been in the league for the last two seasons as a backup.

RG3 in Washington was pretty clearly another Vince Young situation. The owner wanted him, the coach didn't. Gets him hurt, replaces him with Cousins at the first opportunity, and throws him under the bus for not wanting to be put in more situations like the one that got him injured.

Shanahan destroyed RG3's career... By allowing him to play in a playoff game when he was virtually playing on ONE LEG was cruel... I understand that RG3 didn't want to come out of the game. But a Head Coach needs to "save the player from himself" and take him out of the game. By letting him play on one leg, he got physically destroyed by the opposing Defense. And he never recovered after that game. Shanahan should be ashamed of himself!!!

"Because I broke him, Skip."

RGIII, I legend in his own mind.

All I gotta say is if jay cutler can keep getting jobs why cant rg3?

Joy is frickin gorgeous

RG took some of the most vicious hits I've ever seen. I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did.

He had his knee repeatedly mangled his rookie year in the playoffs. It was so awful to watch. I for once agree with Skip in that the bad injury psychologically messed him up for the rest of his career.

The reason RG3 is not in the league is that people didn't realize it would take 2-3 seasons for him to become a drop back passer. Gruden didn't have time for him and didn't want to have time for him. RG3 was actually OK in Cleveland and a drop back QB but he kept getting hurt.

The respect he commands is crazy. Such an amazing coach.

Coach shannahan knows how to pick and judge quarterbacks. One of best coach in Broncos history

I always thought that RG3 was more into building a brand for himself instead of working at being the best RG3 he could be. The football seemed secondary. That being said, I thought he was a decent guy, wish he'd get a chance to play again.

He avoided the question so bad

Mike did what harbaugh is doing right now for for Jackson for Robert but griffin was too obsessed with the media’s perception of him to realize that he could’ve been a much bigger weapon than simply a drop back passer. You can hear in mikes voice that he believed and still believes that griffin could’ve been a touchdown and yards machine. Robert just had to learn to slide and avoid contact which he never did. Things would’ve been different if he trusted mike more. Mike went out of his way for him more than any coach from his era with his accomplishments ever would.

Great segment, awesome to see an eyewitness account of what happened straight from the source, Coach Shanahan. Finally something other than observations/assumptions from analysts.

Come back Mike Shanahan the Broncos need you we believe in the power of Shanahan

You put him out to the wolves with his knee injury. But the league is a joke, cause guys like Matt McGloin still get signed

RG3 and Russel Wilson were one of the best 2 qb's to ever come out of the draft... had such high hopes for RG3...

I want to see him succeed in the nfl. He is an amazing person with a great family.

Man I really wanted rg3 to succeed in the league. Enjoyed watching him play.

Why is RG3 not in the league...Shanahan, well me for one.

Undisputed fast becoming the best sports talk show. Love listening to the podcast version in my car! Shannon poundcaking Skip everyday makes my day!

I still think he can make a team next year. Somehow he overcomes the mental aspect and goes back to what brought him to the dance RG3 could still be a useful QB to have in this league.

RG3's career is tragic! He was everything in college and went left in the NFL. I'm glad he git his college and masters degree. I hope he saved his money and invested in good things. RG3 needs to write a book.

Rg3 was exciting to watch! Great player who had a short career do to injuries! There’s many players who had short careers do to getting hurt!

It's amazing that a injury that would have most people walking with a cane is overlooked. This man destroyed a ACL after already having destroyed the other ACL in college. He had surgery to repair the ACL damaged in the playoffs by taking cartilage from the knee that was damaged in college. At the end if the day, RGIII is a competitor, and those who never played the game, you will never understand the competitiveness of athletes. The missing link that no one talked about is that the offensive line after the injury was horrific, and as a result, he was getting pounded when dropping back. Most importantly, the receivers were not getting separation consistently, and as a result, he had to put the ball down, and run. If sliding was a issue, time should have been put in TEACH!!!! You had a quarterback that was damaged goods, and should not have come back prior to the reaching the playoffs. They should have left Cousins in to allow RGIII's knee to heal more. They had no confidence in Cousins to do that. The media will not discuss this, or ask Shanahan why he left RGIII in the game when they were up 14-0 to the Seahawks after he visibly got hurt. The defense was on the feild too long in the second half because the quarterback couldn't move the ball with a bad wheel. He should have been taken out, and Cousins should have been put in to at least take more time off the clock. The defense was killing Seattle until they were gassed.

Didn’t Shanahan put him back in after he tore his ACL during a game or am I trippin?

I remember when Griffin played his first NFL game against the Saints. He looked like a first ballot hall of famer.

Shanahan look like a retired Freddy Kreuger

why would Mike be surprised? He broke him lol

The smart thing for him to have done (along with ray rice) is to go to the CFL and keep in shape , sharpen his skills , build up his confidence , tighten up technique and make other teams sit up and notice - then they will come a calling !!

RG3 is one of the saddest stories I've seen. The dude was a BEAST until he tore that acl.

RG3 was the Ricky Martin of Football a 1 hit wonder which reminds me of how difficult it is to be consistently great in the NFL *Newton,Matt Ryan,Seahawks Wilson ect* then you have Brady who for 18 years has been consistently great (from 2001 Super Bowl MVP to present)

RGIII helped build the Clemson program into the machine that they are today. Nobody really mentions it, but when RGIII finally whipped the Oklahoma defense for Baylor’s first win ever over the Sooners, Bob Stoops made the historic decision that he needed help on the defensive staff. So Bob turned to his brother Mike, who had just been fired in Tucson, for defensive help in Norman. Brent Venables didn’t like it, so he bolted to Clemson. The rest is history as Brent V is now probably the best DC in the nation.

"You hear that skiup?" 😂😂😂😂

I believe this to be the most accurate and truthful interview about RGIII.

What hurt RG3 is the fact that in that 2012 playoff game versus Seattle when they were ahead 14-0 Robert was out there limping around on a sprained knee but instead of taking him out of the game like any normal coach would have done Shanahan kept RG3 out there and late in the game Robert dropped back and planted his foot and all of a sudden that sprained knee turned into a torn ACL and PCL. So instead of being out a few weeks with only a sprained knee and having the rest of the offseason to get better Robert had reconstructive knee surgery and spent the entire offseason in rehab. To make matters worse Robert pushed himself too hard and Shanahan started him the first game of the next season although RG3 didn't play a single snap during the preseason so of course Robert struggled because he wasn't ready to return. Late that season once Robert started getting healthy Shanahan benched Robert the final 3 or 4 games of that season for no damn reason at all. Thanks for destroying the career of RG3 Shanahan....you freakin born loser.

Great discussion. Love RGIII he was unstoppable for a stretch

Classic story of work your show horse into the ground. Coaches want to win so it's up to the players to protect themselves.

As a Cowboys fan I'm really happy he isn't still rippingg up the division

Mike Shanananahan sounds like he has an ashtray inside his mouth.

He stared at joy that entire response

RG3 is one of the most talented QB I ever seen coming out college. He reminds me of like a Grant Hill injuries just was his downfall.

Watching this 18 months later, and hindsight being 20/20, Shanahan doesn't come off as bad, but still, how many wrongs does it take to make a right? Still, glad RG3 made it back into the league, even if as a backup who only took a few snaps. He's still just 28 years old.

I feel terrible for RGIII. He was unbelievable his rookie year. He had a cannon for an arm and could run when under pressure. I wonder what could of been if he didn’t get hurt all the time.

"But Skiiiip, Skiiiiip".....every segment😆

Unc on his best behaviour 😂

The “ GREAT” Mike Shanahan has spoken. One of the best coaches, coordinators and gentlemen of all time. Yes, I’m a homer. GO Broncos!

He's the guy responsible for throwing a hurt RG3 in that playoff game.

If only RG3 been patient and kept doing the 50 series zone read and learned the drop back mechanic later he would still be a starter with the Redskins and Mike Shanahan would probably still be the coach and the 'Skins would be a playoff caliber team. If you disagree look at Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson.

If anything I still think RG3 is good enough to be a career back up. He can hold down the fort for a few games if the starter should go down a while. Plus it would give him more years to develop and heal those old wounds. Perhaps in the future he could be a legit starter once again for a team with potential. He seems to have a good personality and would be a nice role model in the community even though his football role would be a back up.

Gotta respect the redskins owner for pulling out all the stops to take the chance and get who he wanted with rg3, but 3 first round & 1 second round draft picks are a lot for a qb experiment.

Shanon be having flashbacks to his Broncos day when being coached by Mike. 😂😂

Because RG3 refused to slide to avoid getting hit and Mike allowing him to play when his knee was not fully healed.

It would be nice to get this kinda convo with both coach and Qb.

Shanahan is the sole reason RG111 is out of the league. He never should have started in the playoffs on one leg. He was a sitting duck.

Ray Allen had the most clutch shot in the finals I had ever seen.

I thought this was Bill Nye the Science guy 😂 Bill , Bill , Bill, Bill !

i grew up falling asleep to Mike Shanahan's voice on the radio, things havent changed.

I’m so disappointed they didn’t ask about why he drafted Kirk in the second round after taking RG3 in the first round

Aaaaaaand hes back with the Ravens in the preseason

They had a great Draft that Rg3 class was full of talent

I think this is a solid answer. Really highlights what's happening bts

I personally think RG3 downfall was he came back from that injury to soon. I don't think he was completely a 100 percent at the beginning of his second season and that's what hurt him.

RG3's mommy and daddy went with him to a team meeting? lol

Mike Shanahan is a great coach you should get another chance coaching in NFL again if he's interested he's one Class Act God bless him

Dam, I remeber way back when. I was telling my friends about how Andrew luck an Russell Wilson were better QBs in college, and will still be at the next level. I was right

Straight no chaser. Mike pulled no punches with RG3

I don't know why so many idiots keep blaming Mike for RG3 but its really RG3 who is to blamed. RG3 wanted to play and insisted he could play. Despite his knee injury, RG3 was determined he could play in that playoff game. Its not like Mike forced him to play because they didn't. RG3 wanted to play and the Redskins trusted RG3 decision so its on RG3.

Watching RG3 rehab on the field and losing game after game was painful. They should have let him heal. Cousins should have played. By the time they made the change the season was done. Coach got fired right or wrong.

RG3 is a multi millionaire. He can enjoy his retirement and not get injured. If he wants to work, Burger King is hiring.

Man I sure hate what happened to RG3 he should be as big as Russel Wilson right now

I wouldnt let my parents come to meetings. RG3's issue was health. Look at lamar jackson. He has UNREAL speed, He can change any game. Im shocked ravens gave uo in rg3

Reminds me of the hype around RG4 Lamar Jackson. His current teammate.

Good coaching is more important than player talent.. Rg3 can probably still ball with the right coaches

Shanahan looking like Bill Nye in the thumbnail

Mike looks and sounds like Mick from Rocky. Especially with the ear piece.

Man can’t wait for this book to come out lol

Mike ended him
