Yeah JC gets knocked around but lets stop acting like he is running for his life on every play... There are teams out there with similiar oline situations and they score more than we do. GB and TB come to mind. Tampa's ROOKIE QB comes in and in his first pro game and they score more than we have in a game all season. and he was throwing to guys with names like stroughter--however you spell it, i cant bring myself to go to the TB site-- so lets not say he had better wr's. The offense as a whole is hurting but we know it starts with the man who is under Center. I cant remember the last time i saw JC throw the ball to a spot on a timing route before the wr came out of his cut. It seems that nearly every pass he completes is to a wr who is looking straight at him and JC can see both numbers on his chest.Number one, I think you'd have to say, objectively, that the Redskins OL is the perfect blend of poor coaching, under-talented, and injury ridded, and that there's probably no unit quite as bad as it. But there are a bunch of other teams in this league who are in a similiar situation because of their poor OL play.
Tampa and Chicago absolutely have better receivers than we do. Ours are probably the worst group in the league (St. Louis is close if not just as bad, though). It boggles the mind how people can think that our receiving corps aren't the worst they've ever been. It's quite common knowledge among NFL defensive coordinators: just go man to man and they won't have a chance. A lot of teams have bad OLs, but the WRs are where we really get hurt because most teams have figured out that even if you can't block em, you can still run routes and hit open guys.
And then there's problems with the offensive backfield here as well, of course. Those are realtively recent issues: Campbell's ball security and decision making, Portis being a non-contributor, and Sellers has been awful.
It obviously "starts" with the problems that go back to last year. By definition, that's how this mess started. So that's what it starts with.
