[quote=SirLK26;1090412][B]I sure hope not. Colt delivered the win, so all his short-comings are over-looked by the fans.[/B] I'm not sold on the idea that he's really a better option than Cousins. If Gruden starts Colt, fine. But he shouldn't be handed the job automatically just based off the Tennessee game.


Some quotes from [URL="http://realredskins.com/2014/10/20/good-start-and-finish-for-redskins-mccoy-but-issues-in-between/"]Tandler's latest article[/URL]:[/quote]

So true. I would prefer that he goes back to KC simply because he hits big plays every game. However, he would be on a short leash.

Re: Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.
 

[quote=JoeRedskin;1090416]I agree with Tandler's assessment. [B]Other than his initial pass, which was only a five yard completion with Garcon doing all the rest[/B], and the final drive, Colt was decidedly unimpressive.

However ... he did two things that Kirk has failed to do this year: Protect the ball, come up big in the 4th quarter.

Colt is the better starter now but, hopefully, RGIII comes in and we can see the difference.[/quote]

I'm not knocking Garcon, who made a great play, but Michael Griffin was pathetic on that play. Like Bacarri Rambo pathetic.

Re: Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.
 

Make no mistake, when healthy RG3 is far and away the best QB on this team and when he's ready he needs to be under center.

However, Colt did everything that was asked of him. Kirk has failed week after week. Long overdue for him to take a seat on the bench. I don't see how Colt was unimpressive. Did he do nothing on that game winning drive?

Re: Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.
 

Colt was efficient and cool under fire. He definitely deserves some props and the starting nod next week if RG3 isn't back. I've had enough of Kirk's turnovers.

Re: Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.
 

Colt did exactly what he needed to do (Kept the ball safe from the other team, and put the team in position to score enough to win).

Is he our long term answer, almost certainly not, but until RG3 gets better I think he is our best answer

Re: Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.
 

Colt stepped in under Very tough circumstances with little or no practice with the first squad. As has been stated, he did what was necessary and most importantly.....HE WON!!!
Cousins is not done in this league and maybe not with this team. BUT, he needs to be done...for now

[quote=SirLK26;1090418]I'll let Tandler take this one:



Edit: And I don't know where to finds the stats, but I think it's safe to say Cousins takes quite a few more shots down field.[/quote]



It is only one play but I don't think it is fair to take it away to lower his stats to 3.9 ypa. That is going to be part of the game for the Skins. One cannot simply choose to ignore stats and I doubt he took yac away from the other QBs in his comparison.

Re: Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.
 

Colt gave us a chance. We haven't even had that with KC in the game for a few weeks now. I hate it that KC didn't make the most of his opportunity but he needs to go back to the bench to get his head straight. He looked lost out there, repeatedly. I could understand benching him and starting him next week if it was a one time deal where he looked bad, but KC has looked bad every week since J-ville. Colt deserves the opportunity to start until RG3 gets back.

Re: Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.
 

Look, I think it's all about the TOs when it comes to KC versus Colt. No matter what else KC is bringing, if he keeps giving it to the other team it does not matter. On Colt's stats: he was playing for the Browns, so it's probably pretty hard to get much in the way of stats there. But we'll see. At this point, we're waiting for RGIII, obviously.

Positives: Breeland, Compton, Garcon and Desean, Reed, Helu (playing well all year, other than that ST f-up), we won a game we should have (after dropping 2 we could have).

Negatives: No sacks (though I thought they got a bit of pressure and several sacks we're erased by questionable penalties), Morris/run game, Orakpo done, Biggers, safeties (as usual), offsides on a punt (WTF!?!?!), Red zone woes.

Still beats losing any day.

Re: Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.
 

Colt to start v. Dallas per ESPN. Not a surprise. I wouldn't imagine Gruden would want to do anything to rush back RGIII given what happened to his predecessor.

Re: Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.
 

Gruden couldn't let KC come in and take the chance he'd throw another int.

Red zone was a big issue. I like to see us go to Reed more...we did once on a kinda poor throw. Also would like to see Roberts more in motion around the end zone, get him moving for sprint out throws or boots going his way.
