Certainly RG3 has helped (in a big way) but I think it's quite frankly insulting (not addressing you here) to act like Mike, Kyle, Chris Foerster and the OL have nothing to do at all when the offense is successful. You'd have to be clueless to think that

Never said that I agree with the article, just that there's another perspective. All I know is that the O-line are playing better than last year and that's all I care about.

Didn't say you agreed

Here are some historical running QB's and one non runner, and their respective careers:

Cunningham played 1985-1995 (main team)
Steve Young took over from Montana in 90 played till 98
McNabb played from 1999 to 2009 (main team)
Vick 2001-2006, 2009-2011

A point of reference, Peyton Manning, a qb who we all would agree was not the mobile scrambler type played from 1999-2010, and was out a year with his neck injuries.

And of course Favre who took tons of hits and kept on playing.

But you're missing the point. RG3 is a RUNNING QB. Don't you get it?

Not only that CRedskins, Peyton gets the ball out quicker than ANYONE in recent memory.

We are #1 in rushing yards, #2 in yds per rush, #1 in yds per game, and #7 in rushing TDs

In terms of passing, we are in the 20s in terms of total yds, but we are towards the top in the following categories: completion % (#6), yds per pass (tied for first), QB rating (#3), and least INTs (#2).

In overall offense we are top ten in total yardage, total points, total yds per game, and points per game. I put total points and points per game in bold, because I don't think this is something we have been good at in the past.

Sure there have been a couple of disappointing games and maybe we don't have the best offensive line or WRs. But we're playing some good f*cking football and anyone in general who is being all Chicken Little/Debbie Downer about our offense needs is just not very smart IMO.

This post is outstanding.

That HS/Collegiate Offense will...........never work in the NFL and will NO DOUBT be dropping out of the Top Five in the League....any day.

Things could always be better and things could always be worse. A million different possible scenarios for everything in the universe. At the end of the day im pretty ****ing happy rite now that when we get the ball I know we are going to score - especially when we need to. Ive seen I think two - maybe three victory formations this year- and we are just starting to click.
The O line imo has been pretty rock solid. Griffs biggest hits are when he runs and he has been extremely careful and smart about it since the Atlanta game. Show me a good pocket passer (rg-3 is one of those too as we have seen) that hasnt wound up getting flattened once or twice a game because he stands his ground and waits for his wr. Better than JC getting wide eyed and checking down or Rex chucking the ball up for grabs and usually to the wrong team. Ill give full credit to Shanny for getting guys, and getting rid of guys, that fit his scheme. Ask Almo what he thinks about this line. Oh and TW is an absolute stud this year.

Jammal Brown’s contract set to void Friday

Thank you goodness. So tired of him accounting for needed cap space and add the fact that he has turned out to be complete bust of a trade. This is definitely not in the Unsung Heroes category.
