I don't think we can just go out and set expectations for Griffin so high as to win games by himself with the roster as currently constructed. I think we have to be very accepting that if Griffin ends up being a periodicly exciting, often frustrating, quality NFL starter who does get a big money second contract from the Redskins, well, that's what the second overall pick is supposed to get you. Steve McNair and Kerry Collins weren't draft busts. They played in Super Bowls.
IMO, the expectations for Griffin will be tied to what the Redskins gave up for him, but the Redskins were likely just being shortsighted.

I get what your saying, I just think QB's change the logic behind your point. And besides in my opinion the trade will work out for both teams. I like Bradford so i think the Rams were smart to trade the pick and they got good value for it. I also think the Redskins made a great trade because they got the QB they have seemingly needed forever and the price will be looked at as insignificant if he plays to anywhere near his potential. win win IMO...
