Looking at, listening to and reading responses related to the demotion of Robert Griffin III one would tend to believe that he has no future here, but if the team is smart they would let him stick around for awhile longer than this off season. Sure there is that 2016 option to consider, but contracts can be renegotiated. So let's look at what the team gets out of this.
Looking back at his first season, kyle S. Basically incorporated the Baylor offense, so there was no learning curve. In his second season much of his attention was devoted to a return from injury so again no learning curve . Now in his 3rd season there comes to the team a new HC complete with his own albeit traditional system that functions best when there is a QB schooled to run that traditional style. Rarely do you see a worse fit than Gruden's system vs. an option QB.
The question that this team now faces is, can it take an highly skilled option QB and retrofit him with traditional skills. We all know that Griffin is thought to be a very bright young man, and if Washington is smart and exercised some patience, they would handle him in much the same way as teams used to when grooming their QB's. Spending an off season or two in training to correct footwork and develop command in the pocket could pay dividends and convince DC that they just might find in him the franchise QB they hoped he would be.
