I think the hope in the organization is that Grossman can take the Redskins to the playoffs next year, and that he stops making so many mistakes because of his environment and coaching. At least, that's what his coaches think/need to think.

Saying Grossman is plan A at this point is pretty much false, but there's a pretty good chance he goes through training camp next year as the starter. And so getting off to a good start in 2012 may very well be dependent on Grossman continuing to grow and fit the offense.

I don't think the no. 2 guy is going to be a traditional number two. I think he will be the number one of the future, whoever that may be.

It will be interesting to see who the competition is for Grossman. Will he be in competition with a draft pick? Or will he be in competition with a veteran?

I think the organization will be just fine if Grossman never took another starting snap for the Redskins. He may have to based on circumstance but not based on an expectation that he will be improved.

Also, the notion that Shanahan will not finish his contract is off base. Snyder knows he has to let a project go to completion. He's not going to derail Shanny after 3 years, even with another 10 loss seasons. Doing so just feeds into what his critics want him to do. The only way Shanny doesn't complete his contract is if he retires first.
