I don't think one win against the Raiders is going to turn us into a contender.

Griffin looks nervous and he's making mistakes, I would love to be wrong but I really don't think it's going to make a difference if we win that game going into the bye.

I completely agree with you about the turning things around.

But there's so much wrong with this team on both sides of the ball, I'm just curious if there really IS any point in time where you wonder if you need to pull RG3.

Personally, I've said that we ride him out until we're out of playoff contention. But I'm wondering if anyone feels that you either let him play the whole season or keep him on a short leash?

I think we might as well go with status-quo, I think it probably ends up hurting his confidence even more by sitting him than him being out there and losing - and lets face it - the dude can definitely use the practice. What starting NFL QB doesn't know how to slide properly coming off a season where it got him a concussion? It's just unbelievable that he would make that mistake, that's not even something you can attribute to rust, it's just a incredibly stupid play fueled by what I can only believe is nervousness.
