I doubted him, I thought he might turn into a serviceable place holder as McCloughan built a team and after he got the meat of the team the way he wanted, then he would find the franchise QB. I think I even called him Rex Grossman 2.0 early in the season. I am so glad I was so wrong. What an awesome surprise, we may already have our franchise QB. That puts us at least 2 years ahead of schedule.

Why do I say may? Well, because the last time I let myself be this excited about our QB, it was RG3. In 2012 I thought,(having suffered through Schuler, Frerotte, Ramsey, and Campbell) FINALLY, a young franchise QB! He was a sure thing, I mean look what he had done, and he was just a rookie! Skies the limit, he's possibly a future HOF, he's changing the position, and he will only get better as he learns to be a pocket passer! Also, the team seemed to love playing with him, and he had a personality (unlike Jason Campbell *cough* *cough*). We were just beginning a new golden age of the Redskins. And then . . .

Ok, so I'm trying not to have my heartbroken again, but to me this time it feels different. I think he might be the one. Let me count the reasons:

1."You Like That!" most importantly he is passionate, which is just so fun to watch and route for, it kind of reminds me of watching Favre. God knows I'm acting like a maniac after a TD or a big win, and I want a QB that is pumped. He certainly matches and probably exceeds my level of passion as a fan, and I like that!

2. He's a pocket passer. He doesn't need to completely reinvent his style of play to progress as a QB. Even if he stops developing right now, and has this level of production (past 10 games) going forward he will be the best QB we've ever had, and be top 5 - 10 in the league.

3. I don't hold my breath every time he steps back in the pocket, or gets hit, or scrambles . . .

4. The whole team is inspired by him, not just likes him and thinks he's talented. He has won the whole team over and it shows, and they all seem to be having a blast!

If next season goes as we all are imagining it will right now, I think I'll be ready to commit.
