A Clarification on whether the Redskins are Re-Building

I'm saying it's likely that early results will be mixed. If not from snap to snap (like early career Grossman), then from year to year (like early career Josh Freeman).

Mixed results due to a surrounding cast as erratic as Freeman's? Or in that RG3's abilities compare to Freeman's?

Because Griffin is light years ahead of where Freeman was coming out.

Because Griffin is light years ahead of where Freeman was coming out.The former, most likely.

I think we are rebuilt. Shanny has found the team he wanted for the most part. He will more less sink or swim with the players we have going into this year.

First, it sucks to lose 1st round draft picks, but if RG3 lives up to the hype, it would be worth it. Also, if we get our cap room back, the FAs we could sign could more than make up for the loss of draft picks (which was the plan to begin with before the commish intervened)..

And I agree w previous post -- with this draft, I'd say we already REBUILT.

RG3 fills the most important role, and now we've completed the most important part of our rebuilding process. Everything else is easier and downhill, and we'll continue to improve/rebuild the team - but again, our rebuilding process will peak with the draft this year, and will mostly finish in 2 years.

If the passing game can become explosive, then the Redskins should be able to rack up yardage and points. When was the last time the Redskins had two wide receivers go over 1,000 yards in a season? Michael Wesbrook and Albert Connell way back in 1999. If Garcon and Hankerson can each top 1,000 yards worth of receptions, and if Helu can rush for over 1,000 yards then consider the offense completely fixed.

Giving RG3 the keys to the offense is similar to what Joe Gibbs did with a young Mark Rypien in 1988 and 1989. And if the defense can improve on it 13th place ranking from a season ago, this Redskins team can go very far.

At preseason's end, quite a few NFL analysts were predicting the Redskins to win the NFC east. Well, what will they say this coming season especially when the Redskins have more explosive weapons than a year ago?

as for the OL, Helu and Royster - when our line was at its most depleted we had a 100 yard rusher 5 of the last 6 games......that is a good place to start next year.

That is starting to sound like the - insert a back - Shanahan running game.

He is, but the guy he's most similar to (Aaron Rodgers) couldn't find a team to take him in the draft and even as recently as 2008, played for a team that drafted a quarterback in the first two rounds because they just didn't know what they had in him.

I mean, it's not unreasonable to believe that as good as RG3 is, that the Redskins find themselves making an educated guess in 2015 on whether to offer him a second contract or move in a different direction. It could have easily happened with the Packers and Rodgers, if the front office that drafted him wasn't still there.

If Griffin isn't worth resigning, then the current FO will not be here, and he won't be resigned. If he is, the current FO will be here, and he will be resigned. I doubt it will be based on any guessing period.

He was rarely ever touched.
There was a 26 game span where he was sacked a total of 13 times.
13 times.
We had the type of OL that could make Blaine Gabbert look like a world beater.

Kid hasn't even been drafted and we're already speculating about his 2nd contract?

Man, when is the draft already?
