- across the board the roster has been made younger and more talented (last three drafts)
- Kase Keenum might suck, or he might be Rich Gannon (their career stats to this point are pretty close). Gruden can get QBs to play to their potential.
- The injuries have to calm down at some point. Is there a stats guy on this board that can figure out far from the mean we have been the past two years? A full standard deviation?
I am probably wrong but I think we are in better shape than most think.
Anyway, Gruden has been able to accomplish more than any other coach not named Gibbs. It has taken 5 years but for the most part he has reduced the insanity and turned the ship in the right direction. I hope he sticks.

We share same feelings about Gruden, I really believe not enough people give him credits for handling all Redskins BS stuff. Yes, Redskins have been an average team in last few years but all Redskins fans know Gruden were put on a very difficult path so I am appreciative of Gruden and his commitment to the team. Although I have to admit, there is one thing that I'm extremely frustrated with Gruden - it seems as if he is never able to get team prepared for national games..
