RGIII’s Redskins era ends with bizarre note

The commandments preach some tough lessons that the first-round draft pick learned the hard way during his tenure with the Redskins. Griffin was forced to eat a massive slice of humble pie after led the team to an NFC East title.

“Robert’s done some great things, no question. We have total faith in all three of them,” Gruden told reporters. “We just feel like Kirk has earned the right to be the starting quarterback in 2015.”

Drafted as Washington’s franchise quarterback in 2012, Griffin propelled the team to an NFC East title and was the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year. But Griffin tore his ACL during the Redskins’ wild-card loss to the Seahawks and has not been the same player since the team rushed him back to the field for the start of the 2013 season.

With the Redskins reportedly mulling contract negotiations with Cousins as the future of the franchise, despite Sunday’s first-round playoff loss to the Packers, Griffin most likely will spend his offseason looking to secure a spot on another quarterback-deficient roster.
