I actually hate that I feel this way about RGIII because I want him to be great. If and when he becomes a Franchise QB, you might be able to project an improving Skins team to win the division. If he doesn't become one, then we can expect to be also rans.

Again, the Eagles should be the favorite to win the division because they are the most complete team in the division and therefore the least dependent on the play of their QB. That directly correlates to the fact that, right now, there are questions about Eli (Giantone might disagree), Romo, and RGIII. But if one, two or all of those three should have very good seasons, then it will be a dog fight.

Maybe it's a little over-homerism on my part but I'm willing to toss out 2013 when considering if RGIII will be a franchise QB. If someone asked the question after the Ravens game (assuming he didn't get hurt) in '12 if RGIII was about to become a franchise QB, there would have been resounding yesses. His rookie numbers, simply passing numbers, are a great indicator of his future success.

Last season, as painful as it was to watch, even showed spurts of excellence, especially shortly before he got benched. Go back and watch the Bears, Chargers, Giants and Vikings games. Passing wise, he was making plays, accurate with the football, all that we need him to be.

I think he tuned the coaches out at some point last season (which was immature of him) which also contributed to his sloppy mechanics and results but he seems like a different person this year with Gruden.
