RG3 is back

[tshile]

Where is the evidence that Snyder is overriding anyone?

I hate Snyder, as a person and owner of my favorite team, as much as the next guy. But that talking point gets thrown around a lot with ZERO to back it up.

Yes, if Snyder is overriding the coach then that's a problem. But it's a different problem.

I think we can beat Minnesota with McCoy. I think Griffin gives us a significantly better chance and it's not even close. At 3-5 we don't exactly have the luxury to go with McCoy if Griffin is ready - unless you've given up on the season.

It cracks me up how hard people are falling over McCoy. The same people that were gushing over Cousins. Some of them were saying Griffin's injury was a blessing in disguise for Gruden so he could start the quarterback he really likes.

It's all a bunch of nonsense.

Well a win is a win. No style points in the nfl. So in my mind there are a couple different scenarios. One - colt wins and keeps the season alive while Griff prepares for the home stretch and gets two more weeks to do so. Two - griff starts and looks better than Mccoy and wins.
Ofcourse either one could also shit the bed and we could lose but eff that. Lol.
So im simply taking the cautious way out here and giving Griff more time. If i had a crystal ball and knew RG-3 was going to show up strong this Sunday than of course lets get this ship rolling with the man at the helm. I dont. I said already that the fan in me wants Griff to start because I know he is the future of the franchise. But in the back of my head something tells me to give him two more weeks of prep time.

Personally, I've heard from more than enough people to believe strongly that either Snyder (and his associates) or Allen (or both?) is putting a lot of pressure on Gruden to play Griffin ASAP (just like when they told him he had to start him at the beginning of the year

He's no bigger jerk than Ted Leonsis, I don't have a problem with him

Let the coach sink with his own ship, I guess

If Griffin shows that he's not ready on Sunday, it will be disastrous for the organization. Could be a franchise altering loss

Not me. I said from the start Cousins would be exposed as nothing more than a career backup. But yeah Gruden really did like him

It's all a bunch of nonsense.

Where's Rex Grossman when you need him?

More than enough epople that you personally know that are in a position to know that sort of thing?

Or more than enough people in the media?

He's a dickhead. Always will be. That said, he isn't the problem with what's wrong with the team. I mean ultimately he is, but he's not responsible for the product on the field currently.

That's a pretty bold statement. Alter it how? Even if RGIII career flames out, I doubt it'll alter the franchise for the most part. Well, no more than it was altered by giving away all those picks to St. Louis. That altered this franchise more than anything in my opinion.
