If you want to analyze his skill level. He has the assets to get the job done from an athletic stand point and obviously knows the offense just as well as anyone (including Todd Collins). But this is his first year in this offense under Zorn. He is relearning his technique. How to come from under center and other elements. You can study all you want. TC studied for years but he didn't play until he got here and JC got hurt. So studying is only half of it. You can read a book on any subject but that doesn't make you and expert. Until you apply the knowledge you have learned and hit some brick walls and learn from your mistakes. That's what makes you better. Having a little faith in him wouldn't hurt either. If people acted this way with Peyton Manning. He might not have become the QB he has become. He would be on another team by now if he started his rookie year here.
I feel there is a lot of pressure put on him here. Redskins fan are the ultimate pressure cooker. That's why we haven't had a decent QB in forever because we dont give him time to develop. If Colt got in and made some mistakes he would be treated the same way.
So patience is key and no it has not been enough time for him to fully develop because they keep switching offenses on this kid. If he had 3 years in one system and actually played atleast two under that system it would be a different story. But saying that he has worked with what he has been given. Despite the circumstances.

Good point.
One of my coworkers, who is a Cowboy, and I were talking about how the NFL doesn't give young QBs time to develop. They want a rookie QB to play on a "superbowl level" their first year in the NFL. Very few QBs can do that. I think Brennan would make the same mistakes JC has. I feel Brennan will be a good QB, but I also feel JC will be too. Yes JC has been inconsistent , but the whole team has over the past two years. Fans are fooling themselves if they think CB will be consistent his first year starting. A fan on another site made a good point. He said how is JC suppose have chemistry with his receivers when they are constantly injured. Look at some of the good QBs. Romo and Brady have great chemistry TO and Moss. The only person JC seems to have chemistry with is Chris Cooley. That is something JC and Moss really need to work on this season.
I don't think fans are going wait until JC totally learns the offense. I think skins fan will want him benched by the fifth game and replaced with Brennan.
