Griffin Out For Undetermined Time, It's Cousins Time

I love RG3, but I'm beginning to hate the fact that he was drafted here. Not only because of the fans who are so ready to give up on him after everything he's done for them, but also because of the fact that his chances for NFL success were probably smaller here than any other team. He deserves better.

I was listening to Mike and Mike this morning and they were criticizing the Raiders for a lack of vision and continuity, which reminded me of the Skins. Particularly with Griffin. After everything we give up to get him, two years in we hire a new head coach whose offense could not be less compatible with the skill set of the QB for whom we mortgaged so much. Ugh. So yeah, I feel bad for RG. That being said, I do believe he is mentally resilient and given the time to succeeed can still work out for us. I still believe.

Not sure we know that Gruden's offense will be incompatible with RG3.

Definitely. I remember that legendary speed, those 70 yard bombs raining down right in the receivers' arms, those Giant-killing moves behind the line of scrimmage, and that unheard-of-for-a-Redskins-QB accuracy. Most importantly, perhaps, he had all the tools and then actually put them all together and did something with them. Given time, he can still lead us to glory. Hope springs eternal...

How? They invested heavily in wr's to get better players around him. That's more than what Tom Brady has and he's walking into the HOF.

Griffin has never had the benefit of a great O-line that Brady has had for most of his career. A pocket passer's life is much easier when he is protected. Brady looks pretty mortal when he isn't, his last game was a case in point.
