Long term, I mean its Griffin's show here. Sunday was cool and all, but long term it's going to be difficult to sustain that offense without more of a burden on the quarterback. I think he can handle it. I'm not sure he isn't the MVP of the league this year.

I think your wrong here or either poor word choice. I dont think its a burden to ask a guy to do more, who has already asked to do more. I think the question of MVP was answered last weekend, a resounding NO. The team is better, no question. Not only in coaching, but in talent. I think you look to players like Pauleson, Morris, Darrell Young, Rob Jackson, Riley, Coefield, Hankerson(shakey when I type that) and Garcon as proof. I also think the concept of chemistry and leadership, yes intangibles you probably hate, is playing a larger role. Chester and Monty are fully comfortable now in ZBS as an example and obviously RG3 is providing the leadership. Gotta give Shanny and Bruce credit.
What stat is telling of successful Shanny teams in the past? The same answer to which NFL team leads the league in rushing? Washington Redskins. The burden is not on RG3, but running the ball effectively.
