Yes, he did. No one ever disputed that. It also just got him to surpass Kirk in career picks in spite of the fact that Kirk has played in less than half as many games as Robert. Also, their yards per attempt are about the same for their careers, with Kirk's is higher this season by almost a yard, still, 7.6 is pretty high, doesn't lend much credence to your "check down" argument.
Robert did not play well on Sunday. That said, some people think there are also other problems and that he's the most talented guy who plays QB for the Washington Redskins. If he doesn't develop, the Skins need a new quarterback, because we don't have one.
My biggest issue with all of this? Why is it that Gruden gets a free pass? Isn't he supposed to be the guy who was responsible for Dalton's success? Where is the guru now? Why have both young quarterbacks failed to produce under him so far? At this point, I don't particularly care who you preferred to start, this team isn't any good and the quarterbacks aren't playing well; I thought that was your area of expertise. If you're not developing someone, you're wasting our time and I don't have any clue why you were hired in the first place.
