The pre-game words of Redskins rookie QB Robert Griffin III, come to us via Dan Steinberg from the Washington Post.  Just these words are why Robert Griffin III is beyond the whole 'rookie quarterback' thing.  The Redskins players made RGIII a team captain at the bye week, sitting at 3-6, for a reason.  He was not just that phenomenal player on the field.  He was blossoming into the leader of this football club.  No more words say it than his pre-game comments. "This is our house.  This is our night.  This is our division."  RGIII Again.  He is more than just a rookie quarterback.
