It's a good call.
You are losing the locker room and the confidence of the team by keeping RG3 in there right now. He's not gaining anything because he's overwhelmed.
Just look at the Haill22.com footage from the previous games.
Missing basic concept routes. He can't continue to stall the offense.
There is 52 players on this team that deserve to win and you have to play the BEST 52 players. RG3 was the best QB we had in 2012.. He's not currently the best QB. He could be! He's not right now.
Hail 22 - Breaking down All-22 film of the Washington Redskins (http://hail22.com/)
52 guys who put their bodies on the line every week and have their futures and paychecks at stake. Griffin has been holding the entire team back and it's not just 4 games this year. Coaches last year came to the same conclusion and Gruden has been with RG3 through OTAs, mini-camps, pre-season and the regular season. They see him up close every day and realize he'll never "get it". Gruden's obligation is to the team, nothing else.

I think this needed to happen. I think Gruden knew all along that Griffin was just not where he needed to be. I just think Gruden put Griffin in these last few games to show Allen and Snyder that Griffin is not the franchise quarterback they were hoping he was.
So, hopefully Gruden has Snyder and Allen's attention, and hopefully the front office is willing to let Gruden do what he needs to do to turn this team around. This team won't get turned around until some changes in the front office take place, however.
I trust Gruden. I like RGIII, but my eyes don't lie to me. I know what I've seen out on the field, and it's been pretty horrible. The offensive line doesn't help, but Griffin has been horrible.

Absolutely. It was interesting to listen to Trent Dilfer on The Sports Fix (ESPN 980) yesterday. He said Kyle was the best possible coach RG could have. He thought the 2012 O was a thing of genius and had he had the buy in from the QB to develop that O further RG would be a on his way to becoming a super star. Trent thinks Kyle is one of the best out there and that is being shown with Clev this year.
Trent isnt sure yet if Gruden has the knowledge and ability to create an offense in which RG can succeed.
And Kyle is no longer here, because RG3 ran him and his father out of town. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
The Cult of Kirk has returned. Unbelievable. Collectively, our memories are short and our standards are low.
He was on pace to lead the league in picks... no idea how quickly people forget.

Fuck it, I'm going to do it.
I TOLD YOU ALL SO!!!
This isn't related just to Robert either because I wouldn't mortgage the future on any unsure thing.
We didnt make the pick, Mike ShanaSnyder did.
So go yell at them.....

Why is this so difficult for the hard core Griffin fans to understand? Two years in a row he's been benched and it's the coaches fault?
Yeah but mortgaged the future with the draft picks, didn't protect his health and didn't do their due dillegence with effectively coaching the qb position. Brilliant. Eff them
That's on Snyder and Allen regarding the picks.

Its funny that people can say Cousins deserves the shot because other QBs threw picks too. Yet, Colt cannot have that same comparison? Why because hes 3 years older? He is 28. Not 38.
Hes been through the shit at Cleveland and had his bumps. I just think people are brushing him aside and forgetting hes 2-0.
Its about winning. What happens if Colt wins 4 straight? Maybe im playing devil advocate here

Maybe, maybe not. He could be the next Kordell Stewart or Akili Smith.
