It's been a rough season for Robert Griffin III and the Redskins faithful, so one local fan is trying to ease the pain in the form of song.

With the Redskins quarterback getting benched for Colt McCoy and his time in Washington possibly coming to an end, a creative individual has reworked Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" and made a heartbreaking YouTube video.

The song opens with:

Goodbye RG Three
That was an impressive downfall
You're still great at selling sandwiches
But not so great at football

It doesn't get much better for Griffin from there.

(Hat Tip: For The Win)
