I dont think Joe Gibbs is blowing smoke up any ones ass. I believe Joe understands that he can get Robert at least a some success because he isnt tied to one system. Joe can coach, Jay can call plays. There is a massive difference. Jay has no concept of game planning. Jay has his system and thats all he knows. His system can get players open, but he needs a specific player to run his system and he has no concept of making changes to fit the personnel. If Jay doesnt have "his guys", Jay fails aka calling plays. If Joe Gibbs doesnt have "his guys" he figures out a way to make them at least somewhat successful aka coaching. I think Joe is saying that I could have success with this guy even though play callers aka Jay cant.

This is not saying that we shouldnt get rid of RG3. Especially if we stick with Jay, thats an absolute no brainer. But I didnt take Gibbs' comments to be politically correct so much as I took it to mean that you are doing it wrong if you are asking him to be Brady or Manning, which he will never be in a million years. I view Joe pointing to 2012 as him saying "Hey Jay, theres more than one way to play football".

I am biased in saying this, as I lived the glory of the original Gibbs/Beathard era. But there will never be another Joe Gibbs. The only guy that even remotely comes close to him now is Belicheck. Give Joe Gibbs a guy like Tom Brady and a moderate cast, and he may win 5 SB's in a row.
