Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 

For me, the hiring of Scot M. really was a watershed event for this franchise. It got me looking forward to the future of my favorite football team. I want all of this RGIII stuff to be in our review mirror as soon as possible so I can forget about it.

And nothing would make us all forget about it by seeing Cousins WIN.

Winning eases all strife.

It really does. Winning makes all the non-football stuff irrelevant, which was part of my point in that speech a page back. When you don't win, it matters.

ROFL. A little side tracked on this....but since Dianna Russini dropped the RG3 story, I found this fitting. Scott's wife dropping the bomb on her.

A great response would be, "Mrs. McCloughan -- please ask your husband. Perhaps he kept count."

Actually, I fully expect someone to tweet that an intern actually posted that comment.

If this is real, Scot must be pissed about the leak.

I thought Scot was divorced a few years ago and was just dating the women he moved to the desert with? i guess they got married.

I think this might be actually his wife. The ESPN article about McCloughan a while back mentioned having a fiancee named Jess.

Just don't feel like he will survive. If he gets to year 3 it will be mighty impressive IMO.

Gruden still has a lot to prove, that much is certain. I think he's coaching for his job as well.

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 

[quote=NC_Skins;1118686]I don't think anybody gets "riled" up over the non-football stuff, but I have to disagree with anybody's notion that it doesn't matter. Au contraire. When you lose or don't perform, it does matter. It matters. Which is where we've been at since the end of 2012. Non-performing. In the grand scheme of it all, all the inspirational quotes, throwing teammates under bus, social media faux pas doesn't do any "harm" to anybody and it doesn't get in the way of the product on the field come Sunday on a team aspect.

However, let's look a bit deeper and realize while all this other non-football stuff is going on, the more important part of this is being neglected. The football side. So here we have our "franchise QB" is so concerned with his image, that he takes the time at 1am to "set the record" straight with the public. You know, it's quite a shame he didn't undertake his film study with such determination. Hell, while he's thumbing through Instagram liking pictures of himself, he could be watching film and realizing why he's missing pass protection schemes and delayed blitzes.

A few said early on that all those commercials and crap he was doing, was time that could be spent bettering himself as a football player. Yet, here we are 4 years later, and one of the two drafted QBs is known as a film junkie and the other a gym junkie. Which one do you think is starting for 2015? Should he capitalize on his fame and cash in? Sure, if you want to think short term. So he's made 20-30 million, when in reality he could possibly have been making 130-140 million had he focused more on being the passing QB he always talked about. I think he sold himself short on that lottery ticket.

Robert's made a conscious decision to build his "image" to being a star, instead of actually honing his skills to actually be one. Kirk went out and studied the film, knows the offense up and down, and knows what to do out of the field. Robert on the other hand doesn't. He's missing pass protection schemes and not seeing blitzes that should have been picked up at the line of scrimmage. These kinds of things you learn from film study. Period.

Also, many of those social faux pas done in interviews/instagram/facebook/twitter tell us a great deal about this individual. It tells us he's insecure and it also tells us he doesn't learn from mistakes because he continues to make them over and over again.(granted he's been taken out of context as well at times) If the guy doesn't get it when it comes to social settings, what makes anybody think he'll get complex defenses?

So keep saying it doesn't matter, but the reality of it is that it does. Very few neglect the cerebral side of being a QB and have a long career. This applies to many QBs that have come into this league, and not just Robert.[/quote]

The off the field stuff is so overblown, I don't think there are any direct correlations to draw from it. If he were spending hours upon hours a day on social media, yeah it would be an issue, but the truth is we have no idea what he really does in his down time.

The most likely explanation for his lack of development is he's just not cut out to be a pocket passer. No shame in that, plenty of guys come and go and can't get it right no matter how hard they try. It's the hardest position in sports to master.

He's cooled it with the off the field stuff in the last year and it doesn't seem to have helped any.

Yea I'm not saying Clark is the authority, he needs to stfu himself.

My point was that I just don't know how Gruden will survive as HC here when you got factions and shots being taken at him.

Whether we like it or not, the players talking know what goes on in the organization and probably text back and forth while we discuss the ashburn drama lol

He's got to show real progress this year, simple as that.

Right now its just noise. His fate will be determined over the course of the season.

I don't think the players pay attention to this stuff nearly as much as we do.

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 

You can...Bank on one thing. NONE of this stuff is being lost on SM. If Gruden cannot cut, SM is already running through potential candidates in his mind.
For that job and....every job on the team. He does not strike me as a man that sits idly long or is taken by surprise often..

[quote=KI Skins Fan;1118744]Someone posted that Robert's father contacted Stephen A. Smith to offer his version of RGIII's benching. I wonder if they are off somewhere cooking up a story intended to embarrass the Redskins organization? If so, this mess could get worse before it gets better.

I'm also wondering if RGIII's camp will try to force the Redskins to release him, if necessary.[/quote]

I hope they don't have to force the Redskins to release him. Just get the concussion evaluation done and let him go.

I love how the local media is going on the defensive about not creating drama. Yeah the team is dysfunctional, but they thrive off the drama.

To me, they should have just continue to deny it. No way to verify the account or who it was. It would have ended with just a couple trashy sites posting. (TMZ/BSO) Nothing good could have came from acknowledging it was her. Just deny it...lol

At least it's been keeping me laughing lately because that's all I have left. Laughter.

Maybe the team should try and put a winning product on the field. That would be a good PR move. At this point We just continue to be a joke as a fan base and a team. 👍👍 good job
