Gruden, or someone close to Gruden, seemed to have gotten in his head that he could win sooner with one of the other two. But at what cost? This team wasn't going to the playoffs? Why not put RG3 out there and get him the experience he needed. But Cousins was playing well and it's hard to tell the other guys you're not going to go with the hot hand.

The way Gruden saw it, Cousins could start, McCoy could be ready if/when needed and RG3 could sit and learn. Owner, somewhat understandably, wasn't having it.

I can understand both sides from last year. But at this point McCoy isn't anything more than he is and Cousins has a major issue that I don't know if he will ever be able to coached out of.

RG III has the upside that we need to start seeing this year or its time to go in a new direction all together. Which would suck ...
