Nobody is really talking about what happens if Kirk Cousins comes in and plays well...

What happens if the Redskins win their final three with Cousins? Does Mike Shanahan get him as his next QB for elsewhere? Or is there a legit camp battle next year between RG3 and Cousins? Just playing devil's advocate here...

I thought about this last night after the game, and wondered how much money lil danny is losing with the stadium being empty as is it was yesterday? On concessions alone you have to figure that he was losing several million dollars per home game.

I don't see this as being a concern. He'll have the same success behind this line that Robert did. This will more than likely hurt his ever deminishing trade value.

LOL exactly.. There are few if any players in the LR that I'd really be concerned with their opinions. Even fewer of them will be there next season. I feel the same way about 'players who support Shanahan', yeah but why would I give a lot of weight to players on this team have to say? If you're so damn supportive, play smarter, play better, execute better and don't be an embarassment.

He deserves to be benched. He has played like crap, acted like a spoiled baby and made a fool of his coach all year. His over blown head needs to be put in check. From what I have seen h is not a franchise QB. There are 32 starting QBs in the world, out of 7 billion people. What's more amazing is there are only ten good ones. I can tell you the ten good ones have never said the stupid things he has said. I lost all respect for him after his last press conference. Shanahan deserves better. I hope Cousins can play next week, and show what he can do.

Yeah he did seem to sort of blame Dan in all of this

Re: Mike Shanahan was Ready to Leave Washington after 2012 Season
 

[quote=over the mountain;1047538]i get the impression that shanny would like to be relieved of his duties but i also feel like he wants to leave it as best he can for the next guy.

the article saying he was prepared to leave before the seattle game but then when rg3 went down (which was a huge blow to the franchise) he didnt want to leave the skins in that condition kinda hits home ... i kinda get that. in his presser he didnt deny he wanted to leave before the game but did deny that he didnt clean out his office.

putting rg3 on ice for 3 weeks to guarantee he doesnt get injured and will be 100% healthy and ready for a full offseason with the next coach seems like the best way to pass the baton.

i think i would do that as well in his position. he also said he will talk with snyder (and i sure allen) about it. So if rg3 does sit, it will be a group decision for the best interest of the team and next HC.

just doing it to stick it to dan seems too childish and petty. i dont think he is that kind of guy. now i do believe he would leak this story bc he was worried he might get canned before the season ended and want to jump the shark and get ahead of bad PR .. which is not cool but at least i can see some logic and motive in that vs just wanting to sit the rg3 to piss people off.

he wants to hand this thing off as well as he can imo.[/quote]

Agree with all this. Shanny can be a lousy coach, average GM and total ahole (he's all three) but still do the right thing here in saving RG from a pointless injury. It's the right thing because if RG took another major injury Shanahans reputation would suffer further with the season already lost.

For the sake of argument, let's point out that many "heismann trophy winners" have flat out SUCKED when they hit the NFL..

I'm not sure if Griffin is at the point where he sucks, but he is almost there. He is holding the position hostage at this point in the season.

I expect he will get one more year as a starter but i'm not sure how they could even guarantee that based on what has went down this year.

Hey - us trading our whole futures for a bust is nothing new either...

Be honest what has Griffin done this year that makes you think he is a franchise QB. He has been the hands down disappointment in the NFL this year. We have been on national TV every week and he has been absolutely horrible. It is time for Cousins. As bad as he ha been, its not his play on the field that has me disgusted in him, it what he does of the field.

Yes, see if Brady, Breeze, Eli, Payton, Matt, Rivers, or Rodgers ever said the stupid things our QB has. For that matter Jason Campbell, all the horrible thing he went through and never did he compromise his team. RG3 has the talent and Campbell had the mentality. I hope against hope, that sitting RG3 will help him realize that a franchise qb always puts everyone ahead of himself. He tells his father never treat me like a baby and keep your mouth shut. He stands by his team and his coach no matter what. The rest will take care of itself. A coaches record will dictate whether he stays or goes. I have listened to every former gm on the radio and TV and they all say they are shocked at the things that RG3 has done since he got hurt. Anyone failing to recognize that is in denial.

Too many for fault to fall squarely on the players. At this point the majority of the fault for this teams failures belongs to the coaches. None of the coaches are passing their conditioning test right now, that's on the HC.

The Mannings? Did you forget about Eli's draft. I am sure Archi hasn't looked out for Peyton's best interest either. Rivers, never getting in trouble for his antics? Brady and Kraft are as chummy as can be. When has RG3 compromised his team? He didn't say "I" in one press conference. You act like he's out shooting up the club while shooting up heroine he lifted of a dead hooker's body. For a kid out of college with the amount of crap that has been thrown his direction for the failures of his coaches, he has handled it with uncommon grace. If you want to bench him to see if Kirk can handle the offense better than I can get that but this other stuff...

What did Kirk do to piss Shanny off enough to put him in, if he starts?

Shanny: Hey Kirk, I am afraid RG3 might get hurt behind our turn-style of an OL so we are going to put you back there so maybe its your knee that goes out and not his again.

Kirk: Are you sure coach I think he needs all the reps he can get to "learn" from.

Intermission.
