What you are describing is a scenario where coaches dont matter. Where we can describe Jim Zorn and Joe Gibbs as equals, since its up to the players to succeed despite their coach. Im willing to go out on a limb and say that a lot of players succeeded because of Joe Gibbs. Not because Joe Gibbs wrote them off and they succeeded anyways.

Why should Jay have confidence in RG3?... Because he is the HC and no other reason. If a coach says to himself that Im going to let the players fail because its not my job to help them succeed, then he shouldnt be a coach.

I wrote this in my post: "It seems to me that Jay is doing everything he can to help RGIII be successful." Did you miss that part?

This discussion isn't about developing a player. The player is being well-coached. This is about the supposed need for the HC to "believe" in a player who has been the starting QB for three seasons and has not performed well for the last two seasons. I say at this point it's up to that player to show the HC something he can believe in - that is, some on the field results of the coaching he's received. Then, perhaps the coach can start to believe in him. That is, if the coach doesn't already believe in the player which is something only the coach can truly know.
