Yeah, it depends.

If he's a game managing QB then I'll still be curious what the team looks like with Griffin. I won't want to settle for a game manager that lets the rest of the team win he game.

If he looks good... if he looks like a comfortable qb that can make big plays and more importantly make smart plays on a regular basis...

Well. Then Griffin is relegated to backup duty

Is producing 41 points what you call game management?

Yeah one thing we've seen from KC is he's not going to be a guy who's checking the ball down and playing it safe. I don't think we have to worry about that.

Are we making our decisions based off one game against a terrible team that spent a week preparing for the other guy?

Our future at QB just got a lot more cloudy. It will be interesting to see what Cap'n Kirk does with his chance.

We waited 20 years for our franchise QB only to find out that, like some mail, he has a "Do Not Bend" warning label.

Easier said than done.

I don't see any situation outside of the Skins winning it all this year where it will be an easy decision.

Griffin is the big name, and he will probably still have his share of supporters behind the scenes (mainly Snyder).

It's a complicated situation with a lot of variables at play.

Yup. It is undeniable that RGIII has superior physical tools which must be taken into account in a long-term analysis. And he was (slowly) starting to get the whole pocket passer thing.

That first ball to DJax (the terrible call) traveled 60 yards in the air. Cap'n Kirk can't do that.

Isn't it a damned shame that it's completely reasonable to think that things other than who gives us the best chance to win will be at play?

And that those things will come from Snyder?

It's enough to make me want to quit caring when I realize that the future QB of this team may be made because of marketing decisions, jersey sales, 'popularity', or because we spent draft picks on the guy.

Sickening.

Happens all the time. Politics of the game.

Winning will determine who does what....
Nothing puts the gold in everyone's pockets like......winning

Side note - I hate Michael Wilbon. That man is a phony.

[WillH]

I think we should give Colt the start next week, just to make this controversy thing really interesting. If he puts up big numbers maybe we can trade 2 QBs this offseason and make up for some of what we lost for RG3.

On a side note, wow what a breath of fresh air Gruden is...No bullshit drama like the Shanny's had last year. Straight shooter and I think him and Bruce are on the same page. I think if Kirk has a chance to succeed, its only due to Gruden and Sean. good to see

Gruden's got to make sure he treads carefully though. Breath of fresh air in the short term to call out players. But there will be times he needs to absorb all the blame-Gibbs style-deserved or not

Yeah learning to be a headcoach has some growing pains. Didnt his brother have the same problem? Who did he call out specifically?
