And I'm afraid some people have conveniently forgotten about that sack he took against Dallas that knocked us out of field goal range(see, it's not just RG that does that).

But yeah, if McCoy actually plays well over the next several weeks, I'll be cheering louder than anyone.

No one thinks McCoy is the savior of this franchise. I think fans and probably the coaches, just want to see the Receivers do more than just run down the field waiving their arms in frustration. And stop seeing RG3 get jack hammered into the turf. And see the Offense score more that 6 or 7 points a game. They aren't putting McCoy in because they think he's the answer for the next 10 years.

He's playing because RG3 couldn't show the capacity to play the QB position at even the most basic level.

Egg-sackly. This is almost still an evaluation on RG-3 imo. If Colt continues to have success than we can stop blaming everyone else.

Unnamed person in this thread: "Everything he's done in Washington so far has shown he can be a starter for this franchise."

And yeah, I agree with your other points. I'm all about letting guys play to develop, but not before they're ready(Griffin isn't). I agree with the decison to start McCoy, I just don't think he's anything other than a serviceable backup that will get us to the offseason on all fours instead of crawling on our belly.

Yep, and Griffin had a perfectly placed bomb against Tampa Bay that Garcon dropped.

I guess you're talking about me.

I never said those words, so if you are going to quote someone. You should do it correctly or you just look like an ass.

I said he's done everything right for this franchise and deserves his shot to play. Shit, we've had John fucking Beck get his shot and Rex Grossman. Both of which have played better then RG3 has this season.

Colt be the answer the next 10 years? No, most likely not.. Doesn't mean he can't be the answer for the next 4-5 while we develop an O-Line and Safety.

Is it his age?

Is it because he was already playing somewhere else?

I don't get it.

Sorry, man. It's right there.
