Re: Who Can Lead This Team?
We don't have a leadership gap; we have a talent gap. What will it take before you adjust to the reality that this is a team in the process of being rebuilt? Rex Grossman is not the QB that will lead us back to greatness. That player is not yet on the team. The one player on offense who can provide inspirational leadership through his performance is the QB. Again, he's not yet on the roster.
To rise to the level of the Gibbs I teams will take more time. Right now, the Redskins management is doing a very good job of building the foundation for greatness. We have a much improved team but we still need more pieces to be a perennial contender. Frankly, we need a couple of superstars on offense and the QB must be one of them.
The Franchise QB is the biggest piece of the puzzle that we lack at this time. There is nothing that can be done to make either Grossman or Beck much better than they are now. Deal with it. Some day we'll have the QB we need to lead us.
I'm pleased with where we are at this point. You should be, too. Be patient. After one or two more drafts and FA periods, we may be all the way back. In the meantime, I expect this team to continue to improve.
