After Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was first cleared to play and then not cleared to play against the Baltimore Ravens, the Redskins were criticized heavily for a myriad of reasons surrounding the decision not play him.
The assumption by some is that the team itself simply screwed up the circumstances based on incompetence, negligence or both. A perception of dysfunction that has become typical for the franchise.
However, when head coach Jay Gruden spoke to the media after his teams’ 31-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens he stated that the mix up for RGIII was not on the Redskins.
