I'm not disputing anything you posted but I believe in Robert. I was seeing improvement before he hurt his ankle. I believe that he'll develop into a complete QB sooner rather than later. I believe that he'll continue to get better for years to come. I believe that, in time, he has a chance to become a great NFL QB. I don't expect anyone else to believe in him as much as I do.

We'll as a Point of fact, in 2012, he did run (and pioneer) the offense that most of the NFL is running today. If you are referring to a Peyton style offense?
He was never drafted to do that nor would it be an acceptable use of many skill sets.....
If healthy, as Smoot pointed......he is raw. But he'll learn. Must stay healthy and get some consistent experience under his belt

If he can't stay healthy, its a busted pick. I think he can be a great player, but it doesn't matter if he isn't on the field. I don't know if they weighed that enough when making the pick, hindsight always being easy. Also his rookie season made the pick look great. No one in the FO seems to want to step up and make him sit long enough to be 100% also.

It would indeed be nice to solidify the QB issue before the end of the season. Having Robert knock it out for a few games while enjoying....sound health would go far

But since we're realistically already out of playoff contention, would it be worth risking him for a bunch of pointless games when he can just use the time to workout in practice, watch film and get fully rested so he comes back next year 100%?

In a word, NO! First of all, he needs to play to get better. Also, the remaining games aren't pointless because any win is a good win.

This!

Well......we have the most famous Orthopedic man in the world taking care of Robert. He says he's go.....I'm down.
We Must figure out our QB situation. And Robert can make use of the experience. I get your points and they are valid. If he can't stay healthy....bad
If he can, And make use of the game experience and another offseason, perhaps he can be a heartbreaker and lifetaker by next season?
HTTR!

Not if we want good draft pics, more losses at this point are optimal since we can then trade a really high draft pic for lots of lower pics and draft a bunch of offensive and defensive line guys

Rooting for the team to lose is like intentionally marrying the wrong woman so that the later divorce will be less painful.

Worked for the Colts. Just saying. Who in turn stole the man who should have been our franchise QB.

The Colts did not lose on purpose. They lost because they sucked.

Not always.

There are times when its strategically wise to lose a battle (or even multiple ones) in order to win a war.

Throwing your resources away in pointless endeavors is foolishness

Your argument is invalid because nobody at Redskins Park would for one second entertain the thought of losing on purpose. Nor should they.

Since you are new here, I'll help you out: This is a Redskins board, not a Cowboys board.

Since, like a Cowboys fan, you root for the Redskins to lose, I suggest you go to a Cowboys board to be with your own kind.
