Expectations for the rest of the season...

[mooby]

Man just when you think this franchise can't embarrass itself any further, they keep lowering the bar. I really hope the relationship between RG3 and the Skins can be repaired after the cost we gave up to get him, but I think we all know how this ends.

Redskins FS Ryan Clark is fully expected to retire after the season.

Clark, 35, just doesn't have it anymore, and hasn't had it for the past couple years. He's been a massive part of the problem on the back end for the Redskins, grading out as Pro Football Focus' No. 85 safety out of 86 qualifiers and struggling in all phases of the game. Clark has a job waiting for him at ESPN.

Kirk is a change of pace QB off the bench, he isn't a good NFL starter.

If Griffin can't watch film, and sort of absorb reality. Then why keep trying? I'm all for keeping him, but he doesn't look like the same player on the field now. If he hasn't hit a point where his ego can step aside, they can't wait forever. Also, WTG Snyder once again.

Honestly, I think Robert's situation is all about Robert. He has to decide to want it, to do everything in his power to get better, become the player that he wants to be. It takes a lot to humble yourself and go to work on the mental stuff. Personally I would be walking across the street to Gruden's house and asking to study film with him. Put in the time to turn my career around.

Excellent post....very accurate. I completely agree with this. I think a small part of the problem developed during RGIII's great rookie year, he developed the belief that RGIII > Head coach. Until Griffen can run a pro system and win a few Superbowls that shit should never happen. This is the third coach (M. Shanahan, Gruden and Kyle S.) to have serious issues with RGIII. There is clearly a big ego with Superman socks on in the way of Griffens development as a pro. Griffen is a college QB playing in the NFL.
For me the proof came on the field when he came back from the dislocated ankle. He tried to win it all himself.

flacco really liked working with him a few years ago.

I dont think RG-3 will ever be great in this league or even good enough to hold a starting job. I do not hate the kid, and that is not where my assessment of him comes from. I have often defended him as a person. I think for several weeks in 2012 the stars were just aligned for him but it was like a comet that comes every hundred years. Here and gone that quick.
I also do not blame the organization (for once). Trading down for Griff was a chance we had to take. This was not a Haynesworth or Adam Archuleta or any other number of bad trades, draft picks, etc type mistake. It was one we had to make, and because of injuries took this long to find out that it didnt work. The problem is that we are one of probably 5 teams in the league that could not afford to be wrong on this move. Whoops.
