How would you feel if Shanahan benches RGIII?

Dude cousins has looked bad also he has 4 tds and 5 ints and 2 fumbles in his career

Give him the full week with the starters, give him the reps ( in practice) and then give him a few games as well. I don't expect him to light the world on fire though....

Eli has earned the right to stay on the field.Certainly not with his play.

A 2nd year QB that had no preseason doesn't need work?

Ok.

Again though...it's not about him getting more reps. He's had 13 weeks of reps. He's coming off a major surgery, behind a shitty line and he's not playing well. All reasons to sit him down. MS isn't being 100% truthful but I really don't care. He's not my wife and I don't need him to tell me the truth.

Yeah why not protect Eli for next year? It's clearly a lost season for them. Why not get the young guy some experience?

I agree with sitting RG3. Don't take any chances at this point. Make sure he has a full offseason. Getting snaps in an offense that won't be here next year won't hurt RG3. It will give us potential trade power on Cousins if he plays well.

Certainly not with his play.

Of course not. He's played terrible all year. But he's a two time SB winner and therefore he's not getting sat down.

Here's the obvious posturing that Shanahan is doing: none of the final three opponents on the schedule are going to get anywhere near Griffin. Dallas might try to blitz him, maybe. But Atlanta and New York can't get after the passer at all. Griffin is as safe as anyone from injury these last three weeks. Shanahan's argument is a red herring.

Not sure how you expect him to get better on the bench.

The Cowboys didn't bench Aikman his rookie year when they went 1-15 and he took an absolute beating.

Young QBs that were drafted high are rarely playing under the best of circumstances. But they need to play to improve.

Of course not. He's played terrible all year. But he's a two time SB winner and therefore he's not getting sat down.And they traded a crap ton of picks to get him. Just not as much as we dealt for Griffin. Earned on arrival.

gtripp and matty, i really like and give a ton of credence to both you guys opinions and thoughts but the last 2 pages both of have you have been talking as if rg3 didnt have major knee surgery last year . . . . im frustrated to but i want rg3 ready for the next coach and his o scheme
