I also don't think coaching is near the question mark that some make it out to be. I know it's arena league, but Gruden showed he is capable of managing a whole team effectively in it. We know he can run top NFL offenses, and he has a passion for the game (see Cincy Hard Knocks clip).



Put another way, if this core group, BA-JG-Griffin et all, don't get it done (by that I mean put a top caliber team on the field week in week out) then I don't have any clue how the Skins ever will.

Imo Griff will have a good year. He is definitely healthy and he has plenty of weapons.
Not sure I would classify last year as a quality nfl qb 15-20. He was pretty bad. Accuracy was way off. I believe whole heartedly that his mechanics were off due to the injury however.

See, early on he was bad, but most people saw definite improvement throughout the year until he was pulled. According to ProFootball Reference we had the 16th passing offense, and I doubt Cousins did anything to pull up that stat(so sad). That said last year he had:
60.1% completion rating
16TDs
12INT (this is where you see his accuracy was off)
3200 yds
and an 82.2 passer rating. That's all minus 3 games, where I believe his play would have incrementally improved had he been in. (He also may have made a bonehead play trying to win a "meaningless" game, hopefully being benched gave him time to think about that aspect as well).

crazy stat, he threw for 3 yards more in 2013 than 2012 (3203 to 3200) and 4 less TD's (16 to 20) in 3 less games... Yes I know stats don't say everything, and I am NOT saying Griffin in 2013 was the same as 2012, but he didn't suddenly forget how to play football either.
