Gruden Says Start Cousins

To me this is ridiculous. So if RG3 comes out and has another 4 yards passing at the half we keep a capable back up on the bench cause we're concerned about hurting his trade value? SMH...what about trying to win a game? What about doing what's best for the players/coaches/ owner that are tired of losing? ...and not worrying about trades, ego and hurting someone's feelings? This is not the RG3 Skins. Hopefully he comes out and plays a good game Sun, but if not, it's time to try and win a damn game.

Like it or not, RG3 gives us the best chance to win any game he's healthy enough to play in. He needs time and reps in order to get better. Short term and long term, if healthy, there's NO benefit for the team or the player to him watching from the sidelines.

If only pro sports were so simple.

And this should officially end any "Gruden as next Skins HC" discussions.....Idiot.

I think it's very possible, but we'll worry about that in a month or so

So is it almost a done deal that Shanny is done?

Please no. Please don't say that. Foolish hire

Is this educated speculation on your part or more than that. I hope you're wrong, Gruden would be another 4-5 year disaster and would ensure RG3 is done in DC after next year.

I mean it's way too early for this, but if we get to that point I know that Gruden will be high on the list

I wouldn't say it's too early, we've got 3 wins and 2 w/NYG, DAL, ATL (in ATL), and KC, for the sake of argument let's say we go 3-2 (I think we'll be lucky to go 2-3, likely 1-4). So if we finish 6-10, do you believe Shanny stays? If so, it'll be another long year in 2014 and bye-bye RG3.
