Going with my extreme optimism here, what if the Skins put up a ton of rushing yards once again (160+), their D plays solid, and they come out with a fairly convincing win? At what point do they stop being a circus and be a team with a good D who can run that ball that will win more than 4 games this year?
The second that happens they won't be able to say nobody believed in us so they'll stop being good. Catch 22

Again you forget the original cliche we were discussing was Us Against the World, and that it was in reference to the Patriots. Then again you claimed this was the best Cowboys team ever, so it's no surprise.

According to Jerry Jones, who knows a little bit about the Dallas Cowboys dynasty of the 90s, Says Weeden is the most gifted passer HE'S EVER SEEN.

Greatest team of all time 'bout to run roughshod over the entire league.

19-0, bitches

I believe the Cowboys can still win the division with Weeden (or Cassel if it comes to that) running the offense until Romo gets back, but it'll likely be with a final record of 10-6 or 9-7 (depending on when Romo/Dez get healthy).

Worst case scenario for the Skins (yes it can get worse) is they keep getting these minor wins and Snyder swoops in and makes them start RGKnee, anyhow. They would become a bigger NFL leper colony than the Al Davis Liberace era Raiders. Arguably, they almost got there with Shanahan.

Honestly if Griffin starts any games for any reason other than there aren't any healthy QB's on the current roster left, it's automatic shit show. They're literally keeping him inactive now that he's cleared from the concussion so they can cut him and save themselves from his 5th year option next year.

The question will be who is going to pick him up once they do release him.
Someone will, for the same reason we were just discussing why so many mediocre QB's get paid. He still has talent, if he could ever get past the rumored ego that he doesn't need to work on some stuff, he's probably still better than a lot of backups around the league. For all the hope 2 games has brought on, team's results with him behind center were a lot better than with Cousins. Although if Cousins (or the team) can limit his turnover problem that may change.

He is also a big name. Some shit team like the Texans can pick him up go all rah rah about how he is reformed and in a better situation and then play him hard preseason so he looks good to sell season tickets to the casuals who don't realize preseason is Bs. And if he gets a couple lucky wins its week 6 before everyone realizes he still sucks

I definitely think no matter what he needs a new situation to have any hope of doing anything the rest of his career.

Exactly. Any league that has a place for Brian Hoyer has a place for RG. That ego has to be pretty bruised at this point but Tebow still thinks he can QB so you never know.
