Next years QB

Sounds like this is more about Cousins trying to take advantage of every opportunity possible. Smart on his part, but it doesn't say anything about what Jay is thinking.

I think Griffin playing the last few games was more about politics. There was no way he wasn't going to play once McCoy got hurt. And there was no way he could drop Griffin to 3rd string.

This year I believe that's all done. The best guy, whomever that's going to be, is going to play. Griffin's leash is gone.

I agree. The end of last season put a lot of Griffin's play on tape in a lot of different situations.

Jay already knows who he wants to play out of the QBs on the roster. He has the film to sit down with whoever and make the case for his decision.

Washington Redskins mailbag: Part 2 - ESPN

One thing we do know, is that RGIII isn't in the plans.

@john_keim: Griffin's problems are way beyond the line, and people need to quit thinking that will solve all his problems. It won't. I have yet to hear anyone in the organization -- from coaches, executives or players -- say Griffin would be fine if only the protection was better. Nobody wants the kid to succeed more than those in the organization whose livelihoods depend on wins and losses. In other words, they are not rooting against him. They just don't feel he can do the job. There were definitely times protection was an issue, but you'll never have great protection all the time (and there is no rule saying you still can't make good decisions). As for the quarterbacks coach, yes he can help Griffin, but if he doesn't improve, it all goes back to the quarterback. Can't keep blaming: coaches, protection, this, that, the other.

Keim: Goodness, that's a lot of excuses for one player in one question. First off, I wouldn't say any player who is 25 with his talent is done. But I would ask: Doesn't it concern you in the least that numerous coaches and teammates have severe doubts about him? They are the ones delivering this message. Sure, the line could be better -- but good quarterbacks overcome such lines. I'm all for sticking by the kid and hoping/believing he can improve. This will be only his second legitimate NFL offseason, so we'll get a chance to see how much difference that makes. But to blame all his previous issues on everyone else ignores reality: he misses plays, relies too much on his legs, and lacks the explosion he had as a rookie. No quarterback has all the time in the world and works with All-Pro receivers, which is what many seem to think Griffin needs. If that's the case, he's not who they thought he was when they drafted him. Griffin has to improve his game if he wants to remain a starter.

Shutting those BobThreeSticks fanboys down. I love it. Tired of hearing their bullshit excuses about the guy.

Get ready for more Griffin.

If he beats out the competition, and there's no BS politics involved then I'm fine with that. I just don't see how he does that based off his play the last two years. At least in 2013 he had a couple good games. Last year he basically stunk all year long. The coaches had to run a high school offense when he played.

Gruden is having a press conference at the combine right now...

"We will go into the season with Robert as the #1 guy"

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

From his press conference RG III is going to be the guy.

Cousins has been given a ton of chances. The main thing with him is not the ints, but it's how he handles it mentally.

Completely distances himself from Cousins working with Jon, says anyone can do it. Just fyi guys

“We’ll go into the season with Robert as the No. 1 guy”.—Gruden.



The hell. Probably not by his choice.

Well Scott McC said they were not giving up on RG3. I like the consistency personally. Also, you go into camp without this as baggage/drama/etc., etc.

Besides, the team needs to get better in other areas, which are more important IMO.

When you spent so many draft picks and invested so much time with RG3, you need him to be much better and start producing right now. nuff is nuff.

Nothing is more important than getting your QB playing at a high level. nothing

Who's saying that not getting your QB playing at a high level is not important?

All I'm saying is that this offseason the team needs to focus on improving (through draft/free agency, etc., etc.) other areas, such as the offensive line.

It looks like the team is ready to roll with RG3 as their starting QB. That means that this offseason, no resources should be spent on getting a QB (except maybe a back up if both Cousins and McCoy are out).

Let's take a look at what Pete Carroll did during the offseason before Seattle blew up:

- He spent draft picks on the offensive line and defense.
- Got a talented running back through free agency.

Seattle's plan for the QB position was to get a free agent to come in and take the reigns and to draft a project QB. By the time that project QB took the starting position, Carroll built such a strong team that he didn't need his QB to carry the team; and this allowed Wilson to develop into one of the top QBs in the league right now.

That's what we should do.
