Absolutely no one was saying RGIII was the best performing QB in TC last year. Find me one source that gave that opinion. Here are a few that make it clear he was not:

Jay Gruden couldn’t admit that Kirk Cousins was better running his offense than RGIII - The Washington Post

Let’s not sugarcoat the past two months: Gruden was having a hard time getting Griffin to grasp the principles of the drop-back passing system he was teaching. If Cousins and Griffin had come to camp as undrafted rookies, Cousins may have opened the season as the starter.

What happens if Kirk Cousins is a better QB than Robert Griffin III? - CBSSports.com

Last week, the Redskins and Patriots practiced together before facing off in Thursday's preseason game. Tom Brady didn't play in the game but he didn't need to; he's a future Hall of Famer -- you know what you're getting. Griffin, meanwhile, is a different story.

It might explain all the post-joint-practice media reports comparing Brady to RG3. The general sense of those reports: "Brady is masterful, Griffin is raw." That's like comparing a 13-month-old just learning to walk to Usain Bolt. Yes, they're both bipeds, but one is slightly more experienced than the other.

Quick-hit thoughts around NFL and New England Patriots - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN

One of my biggest takeaways from Patriots-Redskins joint practices was surprise that Robert Griffin III didn’t look like the best quarterback on his own team. In fact, I thought Kirk Cousins was better than him, from the perspective of running the offense, fine-tuned mechanics and how decisively the ball came out of his hand. I wondered if I was alone, and then heard the same sentiment echoed by some others in the Patriots organization.

Looked for something by Keim but couldn’t find it.
