Okay fine, so saying that TCU fans did this is really more of an allegation than a fact. If push came to shove I'd say there's about a 49% chance that TCU fans did it, a 48% chance that Redskins fans did it, and a 3% chance that Jay Gruden himself did it. Totally willing to change those odds if someone has proof that Jay Gruden is currently in South Texas. Poor RGIII. Guy gets no respect anywhere. Even if TCU fans did actually do this, is there any doubt that it was only done strictly because it was RGIII? The guy has been getting shit on at all angles. The team that employs him doesn't even respect him as a person, how could a rival college football fan base respect his likeness. Hell, I have no ill will for RG3, but I can't definitively say that I wouldn't instinctually spit at that statue's feet if I walked by it.
I think this is the reason you have to be a player that commands respect to get a statue. Maybe let RGIII's Baylor career marinate for a bit for you go about immortalizing it. He's 25 years old. Yeah, he added a lot of prestige to the program, but that's prestige that can be honored years down the road after everyone has forgotten that he's a mental midget whose career imploded in the NFL. I'm not saying it's right to deface Baylor's property, no matter who was responsible. I am saying that if I had to guess which statue would get spray painted first it would be the be the statue of the guy whose team made up concussions to keep him off the field. The guy who was left for dead in a preseason game when he was supposed to be the starting quarterback. This is why you wait to until after careers are over to honor them in bronze. Other than Baylor fans, we all currently think of RGIII as a oversensitive, injury prone disappointment, not the first Heisman winning quarterback in Baylor history.
