London Fletcher: If RGIII 'Got With Chip Kelly' He Could Succeed
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- There's a very slim chance---if any at all---Chip Kelly would even entertain the idea of bringing Robert Griffin III to Philadelphia as a backup. But if anyone could save RGIII's career Kelly, aka the "quarterback whisperer," would probably be at the top of the list.
In fact, former Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher, who believes in Griffin's ability to recover from being benched by the Redskins, said Philadelphia and Miami would be the best new destinations for the former No. 2 overall pick.
"In the right system, I think he could [have success]," Fletcher said of Griffin on 106.7 The Fan in Washington D.C. "If he got with Chip Kelly, if he got---Miami does some things, like the Chip Kelly offense. Or even if he goes to a place where the pressure is not---where you have to come in here and be the guy right away.
"I think he'll have a great second half of his career."
The Dolphins' ascending offense, called "Eagles South" by some, is run by former Eagles quarterback coach Bill Lazor. Lazor is entering his second season as Dolphins offensive coordinator.
But wait, the Dolphins have a quarterback in Ryan Tannehill.
"I didn't say he was coming in to start right away," Fletcher clarified. "I said continue to---the pressure is not there. Just let him develop, he'll learn. He'll continue to develop as a quarterback, get better pocket awareness, better footwork. He's gonna have a great second career, I believe that. He's too talented. He's too talented of a guy."
