Welcome to the NFL, kid.

If that's the reality of being the Redskins QB, he has to deal with it.

I don't think the O-line is going to be THAT bad that he has no chance. They're also going to tailor the offense to not only fit him, but protect him. I saw a lot of shotgun/pistol and screen passes at practice on Saturday. He won't be holding onto the ball long on passing plays and there will be plenty of runs called too.

Last year, Rex made it through the year and he had zero mobility and was getting hit all the time. Later in the year, especially when we beat the Giants, he had rookies and guys off the street blocking for him and Trent Williams was suspended...and didn't just make it out alive, but he led us to victory.

I'm not worried about RGIII behind this line. True, the line has holes, especially at RT, but it's not as bad as people are crying about. Williams, Montgomery, Chester are all solid. Kory Lichtensteiger will be back. Our only real worry is RT and we do have a bunch of bodies in camp there, so hopefully one proves to be at least adequate. Also, strong blockers in the backfield with Hightower and Darrel Young and at TE with Cooley, Paulson and Paul. (Fred is more of a receiver).
