Cam is definitely bigger and his frame is more suited for taking some hits. Instinctually I think he's more naturally inclined to football than RG3 from the standpoint of elusiveness and quick movements. If you think about it, we've never seen RG3 juke someone out of their shoes, he just outruns them. Cam has short area and open field moves that are more instinct than training and repetition.
Weapons wise on offense, we are very similar to the Panthers.. One standout WR and some fillers, a playmaking TE and a yardage eating RB (and a coach under fire). Watching to see if RG follows the Cam trajectory in year #3 to start translating that into wins.

This is exactly what I am saying. I think RG3 will develop into a much better passer because Cam Newton is still inconsistent, except he unlike RG3 hasn't had knee surgery that has completely thrown off his mechanics.
I think the big difference between the Panthers and the Redskins are the front 7's and the Offensive lines. The Panthers obviously prioritized those two fronts, which I hope the Redskins do as well.
