McCoy to Start Against Indy

Hes been through the shit at Cleveland and had his bumps. I just think people are brushing him aside and forgetting hes 2-0.



Its about winning. What happens if Colt wins 4 straight? Maybe im playing devil advocate here

He's 2-0 mainly because Garçon made a huge play against Tennessee and the D pressured the heck outta Romo all night long.

He's adequate enough to do what's asked within the offense he's just not a guy that can carry things. He's a backup not a long term answer.

Also... people are forgetting how God-awful our offense looked in the first half of that Dallas game...

The 4th quarter, 2 drives, and a win make Colt look incredible... but again, I say... He had 1 whole touchdown and 1 interception in 2 games played...

The only Redskins QB to light up the scoreboard and hit DeSean deep this year is Cousins... I believe that Colt is starting because Jay HATES, I mean strongly HATES turnovers by his QB... and Colt will be a game manager who won't lose the game... but Cousins moves this offense and puts more points up than any other QB we have

Also... I think it's Colt over Cousins right now because Jay thinks Colt gives us the best chance to win right at this moment... and he feels like he NEEDS the wins. Us fans don't mind losing from here on to get that great high draft pick (that we will just waste... ha)...

but Jay is in his first Head Coaching job in the NFL, trying to live up to his brother's legacy, and sitting at 3-8... so I guess I understand why Colt... but man, I still say Cousins is the best move for the next 5 games to get clear gauge on the future... let's say it's yours from here out... no pressure... and see how he plays...

i agree with all that you said. I think given the choice - cousins long ball alone compared to colt should make him the starter and i couldnt figure out why colt was getting the nod until you said what i bolded ...

i think you are spot on .. its all about the turnovers. with this team, our margin for victory is nominal .. in jay's pressers lately he has been harping on turning around our horrendous turnover ratio ... i think cousins could benefit from playing here now but jay HATES turnovers so he goes with colt .. .

I agree with you and I believe cousins IS the qb for next year.

At this point Gruden knows what he has at qb. Right now he wants to evaluate the rest of the offense. To do that they need to be ON THE FIELD. He's putting the qb with the lowest turnover ratio in so he can get a longer look at our offense.

I think the off season is Cousins' to lose.

Well, seeing as you have all the answers, PLEASE inform me how this is all going to pan out.

I'll wait.

Man, we really blew it in the 90's didn't we?

Gannon let go... Takes the Raiders (of all teams) a Super Bowl

B. Johnson let go... beats us in a playoff game... Wins a Super Bowl

T. Green let go... plays great for StL (16 tds, 5 ints) and ends up backup for a Super Bowl... then plays damn well for Chiefs, starting all 16 games over 5 seasons with a record of 44-36

Also crazy that since 1993 no QB has been our starter for more than 3 years, with the only guys to do 3 years as Frerotte, Brunell, Campbell, and RGIII

I guess instead of the famous 7-year itch.... This franchise (Snyder) gets a 3-year itch at QB...

That is one ugly list of guys who had seen better days and other team's throwaways.
