RG3 and Gruden?

I really like hearing this from Mike Shanahan:

Shanahan said Griffin, whom the Redskins drafted second overall in 2012, could be a franchise quarterback.

"He has that ability," Shanahan said. "He's in charge of that himself, though. It takes a lot of work, a lot of studying. ... He can be as good as he wants to be. But he has to make a commitment in that film room like he's never done before."

There you have it, Robert. It's up to you. Make it happen!

The past 2 weeks highlighted why I got frustrated with Gruden. Granted, Griffin looked like garbage vs. Tampa and indecisive all year but that's part of your job is to actively develop the QB not try to get some meaningless wins in a lost season with Colt McCoy.

Granted maybe the benching gave Griffin some necessary humbling and perspective but the drama & circus around it is so tiresome.

All that being said, if he's committed to developing a starting QB and designing an offense to make him (whomever it is) successful and a winner then I'm fine with Gruden hanging around.

As for Griffin's side of things, he needs to spend less time in the weight room (all of the endorsement/social media stuff doesn't bother me) and more time in the classroom. I'd love it if we brought in a older veteran (like the Colts did with Hasselbeck) to be a true mentor on those things for him.

Either way and especially if Cousins is still here, training camp should be a true competition and consider all aspects in naming a starter. Nothing given, all earned.

How much are the Cardinals paying Bowles? Lets see them and raise them and bring him back to D.C. to be our defensive coordinator. That would be awesome. And he would easily be by choice of our next Head Coach too if Gruden were gone. (He won't be, just hypothetical)

Heard on the radio the other day that he got a raise earlier this season - 3 year extension worth about $1.7 mil a year, among the higher end of coordinators. He's not taking another coordinator position anywhere, his next step will be to a HC position and it was said he's looking for the 'right' job, not just anywhere.

Not only at the QB position, but almost every position outside of Kerrigan, Breeland, Morris and Williams.

when did it become so popular off of here to call us a dumpster fire? Even in this Philly article.

I add Way, Young and Kia too that list.

Yes I would add those two as well and perhaps Robinson too.

Absolutely. Griffin was appointed the starter from his first practice and never had to 'earn' anything. Even after getting benched last year he was re-appointed without a competition when Gruden was hired. I think he needed the wake up call and for him to have to fight for his job a little.

Make it clear to him that he's on the same level as Cousins, McCoy or whomever else is brought in and nothing is given to him.

I have been and still am a huge Griffin supporter. If this season is what was needed for him to take the next step to being a franchise QB then I'll willingly take the lumps.

That said for Gruden's sake, it better have worked or else he's going to be looking for work!
