And yeah, I agree with your other points. I'm all about letting guys play to develop, but not before they're ready(Griffin isn't). I agree with the decison to start McCoy, I just don't think he's anything other than a serviceable backup that will get us to the offseason on all fours instead of crawling on our belly.



Yep, and Griffin had a perfectly placed bomb against Tampa Bay that Garcon dropped.

I guess you're talking about me.

I never said those words, so if you are going to quote someone. You should do it correctly or you just look like an ass.

I said he's done everything right for this franchise and deserves his shot to play. Shit, we've had John fucking Beck get his shot and Rex Grossman. Both of which have played better then RG3 has this season.

Colt be the answer the next 10 years? No, most likely not.. Doesn't mean he can't be the answer for the next 4-5 while we develop an O-Line and Safety.

Is it his age?

Is it because he was already playing somewhere else?

I don't get it.

Sorry, man. It's right there.

People point to the big win against Dallas and their amazing defense and the other impressive victory against undefeated Tennessee, but McCoy has 1 passing TD that was all Garcon, a bad interception in the end zone against Dallas, and has led the offense to what... 33 points in almost 7 quarters against two bad defenses? And I'm afraid some people have conveniently forgotten about that sack he took against Dallas that knocked us out of field goal range(see, it's not just RG that does that).

But yeah, if McCoy actually plays well over the next several weeks, I'll be cheering louder than anyone.

Good points on McCoy although he threw a nice deep ball to DJax that would have been a TD if not for PI. He's definitely nothing more than a career journeyman backup who started the year as a third stronger. I think it says more about Robert that he couldn't keep such a mediocre guy on the bench.

This will be the game where we see our real defense show up again... We've played some really crappy offenses the last couple games. The offense will play better, but we'll need more then 30 to have a shot.

Listening to Cooley on the evening drive today. He says McCoy has a great relationship with the offense already and they believe he can move the offense. He adds that practice has been Sharp this week as a result.
We HAVE pretty good weapons on the O. But we have to have somebody at the helm that can facilitate the operation of it. Who knows? Maybe he can get some things done until we figure out a.....permanent direction at QB.

Ill tell you what if they move the ball well over the next few weeks and get some w's ill forever wonder how this season would have gone had Colt stayed the starter (which i thought he earned against dallas) after Griff came back. Whether Gruden wanted him or Snyder wanted To see what we had in Griff or any combination of who wanted what. Im past the drama, but I wont get over the what could have been for this season. I truly think Colt would have put us over the top against San Fran and Minny. Those two wins would be huge rite now. Not to mention maybe Gruden wanted KC in week one?. Remember how abysmal our offense was in that game? Does KC get us another score?
Thats three wins left on the table hedging someones bet on Griff.

Lol. I murdered myself with reading comprehension. Regardless. Everything hes done has shown he can be a starter for this franchise. Not thr future though. To soon for that.

Man.. I could of swore I read that you said he was the Future..


Unless you edited it.. hmmm lol.

Still valid though.

Rooting for McCoy. He's humble and likable, solid all around. If his only major weakness is a weak arm I can live with it.

A little tired of the drama that surrounds Griffin. Hopefully things quiet down now that he's benched. Let's see how Colt does. Not sure I liked him at first but he's acted like a true pro this year. Can't help but root for a guy like him. Humble, been through some stuff himself, really hope he goes out there, runs the offense and executes basic NFL plays that Griffin couldn't. Colts still win but I expect a close game.

O-Line wont block for RG3 like they do for KC and Colt
