Robert Griffin III and Adidas are building an ad campaign around the slogan “All in for Week 1.” But Griffin wanted his Twitter fans to know that he’s not going to jeopardize his future to make his Week 1 availability a reality.

“Feel like I need to say this..Although my goal is to start Week 1, that doesn’t mean I will compromise my career to do so,” Griffin wrote. “Starting Week 1 will be the result of healing, hard work, dedication & God’s anointing. No rush, just determination.

Feel like I need to say this..Although my goal is to start Week 1, that doesn’t mean I will compromise my career to do so.

I’m glad RGIII is taking it slow and is already considering not playing week 1 of the 2013 NFL season. He already risked it playing in the Redskins playoff game last season and I think what Adrian Peterson did is still an anomaly even with the advances in sports medicine. I wouldn’t worry too much about RGIII ‘Skins fans. He’ll be back but I’d be more concerned the defense and if Brian Orakpo can stay on the field and contribute.

A little more than a month since Robert Griffin III underwent reconstructive knee surgery, Washington Redskins officials are encouraged enough with his recovery to believe he has a legitimate chance to start in the 2013 opener.

Adam Schefter reports the Redskins know there still is a long way to go, and they’re hardly going to rush Griffin. But they also know that based on what they’ve seen so far that it is well within the realm of possibility that Griffin will be the team’s starting quarterback in Week 1.

I think the Redskins should be very careful and bring Griffin along at a slow pace. What Adrian Peterson did to comeback I would say is an anomaly and the Redskins could risk their franchise putting him out on the field too early. Nevertheless, it will be great to see RGIII back for the opener, just glad this time it won’t be the Saints that he’s playing.
