It starts with Snyder and it's never going to change while he's there. If it's not Shanahan and RGIII it will be someone else.

I'm not sure if the Redskins or the Raiders have a poisonous organization that turns good people into bad people. I just think that people like RG3, or in Oakland, Jamarcus Russell, had the same attitude that a 20 year old kid who got drafted would have. They think they are the greatest thing out there, and that their success is all on them. What they need is an organization that helps shape character factors like humility and... well, character in general.
A lot of these young QBs think when they sign the contract that that's it. They don't realize that this is just the beginning of their journey into being a QB, and that no matter where they were drafted or how skilled they are, the odds are still against them
