I was never high on Jay Gruden as a head coach, and you can tell lesser QBs would have failed. The Redskins are not loaded with talent and their management structure will always prevent that. Last season, he had no consistent running game, so bad in fact that they pulled a guy off the street to just crash into the line to keep the defense honest, a mediocre line, an elite pass catching TE, a contemporary unique deep threat that does little else when healthy, a good team possession guy that does it all, and an emerging speedy slot guy who could develop into an Antonio Brown type, and some useful fits and pieces like Vernon Davis.

The Redskins kept the TEs, but lost Jackson and Garcon. It will be interesting if Doctson and Crowder can fill those roles, and how Pryor fits in. Either way, Cousins could crap the bed and still get paid by SF or LA.
