I don't think we can just go out and set expectations for Griffin so high as to win games by himself with the roster as currently constructed. I think we have to be very accepting that if Griffin ends up being a periodicly exciting, often frustrating, quality NFL starter who does get a big money second contract from the Redskins, well, that's what the second overall pick is supposed to get you. Steve McNair and Kerry Collins weren't draft busts. They played in Super Bowls.
IMO, the expectations for Griffin will be tied to what the Redskins gave up for him, but the Redskins were likely just being shortsighted.

2013 draft pick will be a good one for the rams probably. 2014 maybe not.
We have young talent and the drafts have been good. Allen and Shanny are finding talent in later rounds.
If we get another starter or 2 and a couple more backups in this years draft we could have the depth and offensive capabilities ready to heavily contribute to in the 2013 season Hankerson and another FA WR or draftee, Helu and Royster sharing carries, and Davis at te. If RG3 can be the spark, he could have a few weapons.
It looks like Shanny is building a finesse O.
