Last year he was rushed from major injury. just saying, let's give him a chance and a few games before turning against him.

I do confess I am concerned with his progress. Several young QBs have progressed much faster than Griffin and for what was paid for him expectations are high enough to be worried. New systems, new players are part of the NFL, if he has trouble adjusting to change he might have trouble being a Redskin.

Let's look at Andrew Luck tonight, they are playing an awesome Denver D, his OL is in shambles and tonight doesn't look good. Sound familiar?

I would say Wilson, Luck, Dalton, Kaepernick

Wilson has nothing to do but hand the ball over to Marshawn Lynch and stand behind a great offensive line.

Otherwise I agree with you in terms of Luck, Dalton, and Kaep.

to our OC: you got 2 Lamborghinis in the garage and didn't drive any of them!?
BTW Tyler Polumbus is better off on the practice squad.
OPEN IT UP!!

I would say that his accuracy and pocket presence appears better than Griffins, but do not know if he had those skills better than Griffin before their careers.

3/4 of those QB's have great talent around them.

Luck is the only exception but the Colts to me are a mediocre team in a terrible division.

Here's the thing though, did the saints pay three 1st rounders + for Brees? No Brees was a 2nd round pick. The expectations are different. You don't trade up and draft a 2nd pick QB for a project QB. You are supposed to get a guy who can play in the NFL, in a NFL system.

I am not advocating putting in KC. I am saying that had Skins kept the picks and went with another QB the Skins would have been better off.

We have Pierre Garcon, Desean Jackson, Alfred Morris most QBs would love those weapons

Gotcha. Wilson is probably more accurate than RG3, but I feel he's not asked to do as much as RG3. And honestly, it should be the case with RG3.

Talking about the team. Not just receiving weapons.

Most QB's would love to play behind great offensive lines like those QB's have as well.

It was game 1 of year 1 of a new coach, one that is committing to developing RG3 into more of a pocket passer. I think we may want to give it just a little more time. Gruden has preached patience since he got here. Wilson, Dalton, Luck, etc are all still growing too. And they're not coming off knee injuries and coaching drama.

I agree with that and I think you can see that they struggle when asked to do more especially in the playoffs.

Very good point. Kaep, Wilson, and Dalton have great offensive lines. Luck, I'm not 100%.
