Apparently the O-line is worse when Griffin plays.

Has a lot to do with his foot work and drops.

Something he can learn and will take longer then 12Q in a true WCO. Or maybe he wont.. Nobody knows.

But let's be clear, does anyone actually think our O-line is decent? It isn't. I likewise wouldn't dispute that RGIII hanging on to the ball too long on some plays (not all -- he's also had sacks that happened at around the 2 second mark -- and if you think that's enough time, try taking a fake snap, stepping backwards while counting to 2). It's a rough confluence of crap protection and episodic bad habits.

I think it would rank in the bottom third of the league.

It's not the worst in the league or worst ever as some want to think. Griffin is definitely contributing heavily to half the sacks he's taking.

Whose O line is appreciably worse? Not challenging you - I literally cannot think of any such team.

Quite a few teams have given up more sacks, average less yards per carry/pass etc.

I know this is not conclusive but here are some stats I found:
8 teams have given up more sacks this year
10 teams with more QB hits
Rushing: 7 teams have given up more negative plays to the right, 24 to the middle and 9 teams more negative plays to the left
Being able to pick up a first down on 3rd or 4th with 2 yards or less: we are in the bottom third when we rush to the right or left(really bad here) but when we rush center where only 7 teams are better.
4 teams have more offensive false starts and we are average for holding penalties
