Kirk Cousins named Washington Redskins starting quarterback; RG3 to compete for second string

— Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden has named Kirk Cousins the team’s starting quarterback for the 2015 NFL season. Cousins will replace former first-round draft pick Robert Griffin III as the Washington Redskins’ starter.

Griffith’s problem is an inability to read NFL defenses, decision making and presnap reads are the skills that define good NFL QB.

I agree, although it seems that Snyder has actually been (attempting, at least) more hands-off when it comes to personnel issues. He made his fortune in telemarketing back in the day when it was a hot industry, and I'm one of the countless who saw his buying of the team as nothing but a fanboy getting the ultimate shiny new toy. The franchise should have stayed in the Cooke family. My beef with Griffin is, he's like a boxer with a glass jaw. He might do some brilliant things, but he gets busted up too easily. Given the right coach, he may stay healthy and be productive, but I think Gruden and Allen have pretty much decided that he's gonna warm the bench until they trade him or he's otherwise needed. Cousins and McCoy are competent - at least average - and one of them may develop enough to get this team above .500.

They ruined RGIII now they are throwing him under the bus.

I used to have that pic on my wall of Riggo dragging Oneal in that Super Bowl. It was a 4-1 play.

I love my Skins and always will, but man they have been tough to watch of late..

The Redskins have got to be the most unbelievable soap opera the NFL has seen these last 20 years. I mean, Spurrier? ZORN? Swinging gate offense? Retreads like Haynesworth and McNabb? Gimme a beak! It's painful to watch. They always build your hopes up by looking decent in preseason, then fold like a house of cards before the bye, and never recover. Only once did they man up and run the table to make the playoffs in recent years. It's enough to make me want to burn my stadium blanket.

Griffa?

Can we call him a bust yet? I say yes.

[dfwgator]

Redskins ruined him by forcing him to play on his bad knee. He was never the same afterwards.

Re: Can we call him a bust yet? I say yes.

I hate to admit if I had to pick right now between Griffin & Cutler... Saints, forgive me-- I'd pick Impy's boy!

[Rodney Dangerfield]

The STL Rams say, Thank You!

OLB Alec OIgletree, CB Janoris Jenkis, WR Stedman Bailey, DT Michael Brockers and OT Greg Robinsom, all starters and 4/5th are potential PB players the Rams drafted using the boatload of picks from the ‘Skins in exchange for RG3

Once again, Thank You Redskins!

Redskins have the worst owner and management in the NFL.

[Impy]

I’d pick Cutler too and frankly, that sickens me. ;-O

[Ronald_Magnus]

Could get even uglier.

Look on the bright side... Imp--

You could be having to make a choice between Jack Concannon... Bobby Douglass & Virgil Carter--

Yet on second thought... I'd pick Jack, Bobby & Virgil over Jay!

Yet, there is Jeff George, the greatest journeyman quarterback ever to play in the NFL...

Just ask him. He’ll tell you so!

[Bender2]

Re; Yet, there is Jeff George, the greatest journeyman quarterback ever to play in the NFL...

Sorry, Clet-- No way 'cause he never... spent time in Cleveland like JohnnyFeetball--

He's is going to be... the greatest journeyman quarterback ever to play in the NFL--

Jason Whitlock was sportswriter for the Kansas City Star and had a sportstalk show. He had played with George in high school and was always trying to get the Chiefs to sign him. Luckily KC was one of the few teams George didn't play for.

Gonna be a rough season for my Pittsburgh Stillers.

[big'ol_freeper]

Can you believe my bookie won't take bets
for this season yet?

It's not as if I haven't almost paid my debts from last season

He is potentially the best player to come along since Steve Young with his current skill set.

This is simply nuts. He can't play QB in the NFL. His entire game was based on him being one of the fastest guys in the league, and that's permanently gone now after his knee and ankle injuries.
