If griffin plays like dalton are we in the playoffs?

turtle28

Here is Dalton's stat line from last year: 3398 yds, 20 tds, 80.4 rtg

In my discussions with Sassan yesterday and Lavar chimed in, it got me thinking would we be a playoff team if Griffin just had a slightly above average year, statistically speaking. Given the potential dominance of our front 7 on D, and i think we can have a solid running game, if given the carries.

I'd have to say YES!

What do others think?

Griffin is not a similar QB to Dalton, other than the fact that they played college football in the same state. Griffin's obviously way more athletic. I'm not sure how many rush yards Dalton had last season, but I can virtually guarantee Griffin will have more. Regardless, I don't see the Redskins making the playoffs this season. 7-9 is reasonable.

RG3 can play like Dalton, Newton, Flaco, Big Ben, or T.J Yates (minus his game against the Ravens in the Playoffs) during there rookie seasons and will we be a playoff team or have a record of 9-7 or better. People seem really not to understand how bad Grossman and Beck were. They cost us a lot of games and made way too many mistakes for us to win games at times. The things I look for RG3 to bring most to this team is leadership, less TO's, and more accurate passing all in witch Rex nor Beck had. With those attributes here, there is no question he can be just as good as any QB I named in my opening statement. I'm basically saying we need RG3 to be a game manager and play maker at the right times in games. Throw the ball away when he needs too and run or fit the ball in a tight spot when he has too.

You all have such little faith.I voted no because Griffin is better than Dalton and I expect more from him.I say we will be a playoff team 10 - 6 or better.Plus Griffin will challenge the #s that Newton put up with Carolina last season.

If RG3 makes it through the season without a injury, I think we could possibly make a wild card spot.

I really wish those who say No would comment and give reason why. For the last couple of years it's been the QB position that has held us back the most from making the Playoffs, and with RG3 or any QB putting up those type of number's here I don't see how we dont make the playoffs. Let's not forget we have a hell of a D that would go along with this offense.
