Yeah, at this point, that debate would be pretty one-sided... especially if you factor in how much each guy cost. Although if Wilson played on as bad of a team as Griffin and Griffin stayed healthy, there could still be a good debate. Unfortunately for him, "if's" don't mean sh*t.

It is a moot point now. Seattle's FO is obviously trying to build and maintain a winning product, while Snyder was/is just after creating excitement surrounding one player. Football is definitely one sport where one guy isn't going to make all the difference in the world. I like RG III, but the hype and the expectations were just too unreal, and our FO/Owner gave in to the grand delusion. Seriously, non of these overhyped QBs of the last decade have panned out and lived up to expectations(Leinart, Bradford, etc). All were system Qbs or just had the athleticism to excel in the college game, where offenses still enjoy somewhat of an advantage if the teams opposing each other are of equal caliber or one is indeed a lot better. One thing I will say though, Robert has learned to slide and protect himself better, but he obviously needs to grow more comfortable in the pocket, and that will take time. My worry is that in that time period, if they do put him in to save the season is that he gets takes another blow to the knee or ankle and then it is game over for good. That is why I say risk tanking the season and keep Cousins in when RG III is cleared and give Robert time to get comfortable within the new system. Face it, we aren't going to win the SB, nor are we playoff caliber, even if Kirk somehow rebounds from his dismal TNF performance.

One is an injury prone QB with talent/potential, the other is a good QB that has an AMAZING defense and running game around him. So what's there to discuss? Wilson is not the only reason Seattle is winning, RG3 is not the only reason Washington is losing.

Russel Wilson is a better QB. period

Wilson is overrated. Least Mode is a joke. Sherman is an empty chatterbox. Earl Thomas is a pu$$y.

We're gonna rip those pretender Seachickens apart!

I appreciate your bravado while I disagree with everything you posted above. Personally, I'm all out of bravado. Too many years of the Redskins sucking has finally worn me down.

If form holds, the Seahawks should kick the living daylights out of us in our own stadium, as if playing at home has meant anything to the Redskins for at least ten years.

I am very disappointed in the state of this team and this franchise. I have absolutely no confidence that we can become a winning franchise within the next few years. We may have a surprise win against a better opponent from time to time, but it certainly won't be in a nationally televised game in which we have established a tradition of sucking.

Here is part of the burden the Redskins bring into this game:

Pass defense - Sucks
Pass Protection - Sucks
Penalties - Sucks
Turnovers - Sucks
Special Teams - Sucks

Other than blind faith, karma, or the rules of probability and chance, what would lead any of us to believe that we could beat the NFL Champions on Monday night?

Someone had to shine light into the darkness of this board. I'm choosing blind faith.

Good man! I'm glad you're here.

Unfortunately for me, I just can't go with blind faith anymore. This team plays hard. I respect that. When we play well, I can usually deal with a close loss. But last Thursday night was such a debacle, featuring all of the same weaknesses we all know about and have been seeing for so long, that I just can't get up for the Seahawks game.

You know what BOHICA stands for? To me, that describes what I think is going to happen to us for the second week in a row, this time versus the Seahawks. I would rather this game be played in an unlighted coal mine at night than on national TV.
