Regardless of what you said or didnt say, what is your thought process now? Did Jay want to start Mccoy against Minny and or Tampa?

I believe his plan all along was to start Griffin no earlier than Tampa. Gruden's in a tough spot between feeling pressure (real or imagined/implied) to win now and having the task of molding a potential franchise QB who he believes is much more raw than he thought when he took the job

[VTSkins1961]

No QB will do anything until the O-line is fixed. Don't know if RG3 will ever be good but feel that Shananhan ruined him -should not have played after the original knee injury against the Ravens to say nothing of not benching him when he got hurt against Seattle in the playoffs. RG3 will never be as good as he could have been. He should not have played at all last year - that is obvious.

Thats what I thought you would say. Also happens to be exactly what I believe is happening. Its a shame.

Sorry, I must remember someone else (not deadspin, which I never read) saying that Gruden did not want to start RGIII at the beginning of the season or against Minny. My memory declines with age.

Oh that. I did say that. I don't remember saying anything about him not looking good in recent practices though

Yeah, no one who has reviewed his play on film and actually has a clue wtf they're talking about agrees with you. But keep clinging to the O-line excuse as if it's the soft little woobie that helps you fall alseep at night.

Against the Bucs, sure. Not so against Minny or a fair amount of other games. But hey, keep up the whole mantra that football is not a team sport and nothing else matters except one position.

Of course it is a team sport, but I dont think the bad habits/effed up things that Cooley and others have pointed out that Griff did against the Bucs were by any stretch of the imagination an isolated incident. If they were we wouldnt be having this conversation. Not over one game.
Also, nobody is denying our oline sucks or our safeties suck, but none of them were drafted number two overall in exchange for so much. If they were they would be called out by name like Griff.

In your head, how do you explain that KC takes so much fewer sacks per attempt since the start of 2013?

He throws it in the general direction of a player not wearing the same jersey as him when pressured?

Any QB that does a three step drop and throws it immediately at the defense will have less sacks. That doesnt mean it is proper QB play.
