^^ This. And they aren't going to turn Jackson into a good passer before their fans and owner put an end to the experiment.

Their situation last year was eerily similar to the Mike Shanahan/RGIII  Redskins.  Two rookie QB's who could run like the wind, two HC's desperate to hold onto their jobs, willing to do anything and everything to make it to the playoffs. 

Remember when we played the Skins that year and they were running the damn triple option against us?  And one of our LB's, Manny Lawson maybe, putting a monster hit on RGIII.  Griffin barely made it to the end of the year and then never did a thing after that year, if I remember right. And he was/is a better passer than Jackson. 

It's like the Wildcat offense--brilliant idea to win some games, maybe even have a good year, but not sustainable and ends up being relegated to an occasional wrinkle to throw at a defense.

But hey, it got Harbaugh an extension, so, mission accomplished.  Like you said, though, now they don't even have Flacco to being in any more.  Now, they are gonna sink or swim with Jackson.
