Would it be fair to say the cost to get RG3 won't be felt now (RG3 could be a huge upgrade to our offense even as a rookie), but much harder in 2013-2017?
If so, that would mean playoffs now are a lot more viable than playoffs in the near-term future.
I think our chances in 2012 and leaking into 2013 are as good as they are going to get until 2016, when we already have a good concept of what RG3 means to us.
We could be a perennial playoff team and NFC East contender, but that would require Griffin to be a 30 TD guy right from the start.
