Next years QB

Shanahan was happy to get along when he was getting 7 million a year...

i always wondered how much truth the rumor had that shanny wanted to quit before the seahawks playoff game.

I'm not debating there is some truth to what Mike is saying, but my problem with him has always been he doesn't take any blame on himself.

And what's his motivation at this point to keep talking about the past? He's obviously trying to remove some of the tarnish on his name. There isn't a more convenient person to point the finger at than Snyder.

And the morons in the local media are always willing to stir things up.

I find it interesting that no one is mentioning the fact that Scot McC said in his initial presser that the team should not give up on RG3. It is very likely that his opinion on this matter has led to RG3 being named the starter by J. Gruden.

As I said, I personally don't have a problem with this, as long as the team starts to rebuild other areas of the offense, special teams, and defense. You give RG3 his final shot, and if it doesn't work you at least have the infrastructure to bring in a new QB next season.

One thing nobody's mentioning and that's the casual way that Jay Gruden tends to answer questions. When he says we're going with Robert as the number one guy, I don't think that's intended as a firm commitment to RG3. I think it simply means that he will get the starter's reps in OTAs and minicamps, and then probably leading into training camp. But I don't think it means that Cousins is ruled out from having the opportunity to unseat Robert.

If Jay finds in training camp that Robert is still behind as a pocket passer and that Cousins looks better, I think he'll make the switch.

I think it's a very non committal thing at this point, based on the fact that he hates Cousins's woe-is-me approach when he gets intercepted, so much that Robert is the best of a bunch of very shitty options.

I think the reason RG3 has been placed at the top of the depth chart going into next season is because of how much we invested to get him. We gave up two first rounders and a second. I don't think it's just about Snyder calling all of the shots. I think the organization as a whole want things to work out with Griffin. Keep in mind, RG3 is only 24 years old, he has time to improve as a pocket passer. I believe with time he can develop into a great qb. The problem with him is all the comes with him. He's always going to be a distraction no matter what he says or does. If he goes on facebook as says, "God loves everyone." Someone is going to have a problem it and bash him as humanly possible. Whether it's fair or not, this is the reality, RG3 comes with a lot of unwanted baggage.

I know all of you RGIII fams will say no, but I wonder if this starting QB proclamation is more about the draft and the possibility that QB Mariota might slip to #5 and we are sending out the obvious smoke signals that we would want to trade the #5 (QB Mariota) for multiple picks? So by saying we have our QB we do not want Mariota.?.?.
I think the timing of this announcement and it being screamed loud from all media is very draft related.
Now all of you RGIII fans can tell me how wrong I am and RGIII is Gruden's (Snyder's) favorite.

We're not drafting MM. I think Gruden is trying to make the most of a bad situation. He's stuck with Griffin for at least one more year and really can't do much about it.

He says it's BS for what it's worth.

I think he was named the starter because you are better off having one named and getting the reps to develop. Plus this removes the media circus that would surround a competition. Trust me KC can still earn the job in the training camp and preseason

Now all of you RGIII fans can tell me how wrong I am and RGIII is Gruden's (Snyder's) favorite. I don't think someone disagreeing with you has anything to do with them being a fan of RG3. The reason I disagrees with you is because RG3 status as a starter has been a hot button issue since 2013 season. I believe if we wanted someone to pay the king's ransom for Mariota. I think it would make more sense for us to give the impression that might draft him. That's just the way I see it.
