You've had a whole off-season to study, heal and work. You've had 2 seasons with the playbook. I just don't see RG3 coming back if the Skins don't end the season at 8-8. I'd maybe even give him 6-10 but I feel like below .500 doesn't bode well for a guy who has been squandering chance after chance.

And yeah he's been injured, but this is the year to put that injury excuse to bed.

The mistake this team has made is to try to bring a QB to a bad team and hope that the QB magically fixes the team.

You know who were Seattle's QBs in Pete Carroll's first two years when he was rebuilding that team? A washed up Matt Hasselbeck, Clipboard Jesus, Tavaris Jackson, JP Losman, and Josh Portis. Yet during those two years, he (with McCloughan on the front office staff), build the team that has been to two Superbowls.

We're on year one of the rebuilding process, all the QBs on this roster could be gone by next season. And maybe this team won't have a QB of the future until next year or the next. But if we're following the Seattle blueprint, the team has to build a complete team and not be QB-obsessed.
