Speculation, but probably not too far from reality as well, given the personnel turnover and infusion of young talent in the past 2-3 years.

I don't think it is this team's biggest problem though.

Griff will grow into that role. We're still talking about a guy who's in his early 20's. Give him time.

I don't like that Griffin said that it looked like Philly's D knew what was coming. That is basically saying that their coaches outschemed ours. Do recall that Griffin missed an easy throw to a WIDE OPEN Logan Paulson for a huge play on the first drive of the game. Didn't look like Philly's D saw that play coming. As the supposed team leader, he should take a little blame for missing open receivers and throwing the ridiculous INT at the end.

Green is not remotely close enough to this locker room to make such a statement. Now if Chris Cooley made such a statement, I would give it far more credence.

Griffin could help himself in one way - stop coming across as so self-promoting, for example, the ridiculous ESPN infomercial on his comeback. The off-season became more about Griffin than the team.

Last year the players on this team were saying he's a natural leader... Now that we suck he's not......

Who cares at this point. Unless there is a 180 degree turn in the direction of this franchise within 2 seasons, RG III won't be resigned. I am not badmouthing RG III, but he is going to ask for more money probably, and the Skins, if they are smart are going to balk. One man can't make a team a winner in the NFL. We have so many holes on this team they might as well rename the team Swiss Cheese. RG doesn't have a line, doesn't have consistent Wrs, and the D other than OLBs quite frankly sucks.

Griffin won't be leaving unless he is injured for good, just relax man and remember that a new coaching staff can do wonders , look at Philly this yr same exact team basically as last yr and they r 6-5 and may win the east

I hope he doesn't Okie, I like him a lot, but we have way too many holes to fill. My god, when are we going to get a really decent O line put together for him? Actually get a WR or two that can consistently make good grabs? It is a shame that his talent might be wasted here. I wish they just dismantle the god damn salary cap. It actually has hurt the NFL product as a whole.

Everything about the execution of this team on the field is inconsistent, even the play calling with the coaches. To being a contender in this division, doesn't take a whole lot of improvement, but obviously we don't have the horses or the coaching.
