Kirk just named starter for 2015. Period.

It's Kirk's team.

Yup. Time to move on. Kirk is the man, lets support Cousins as the starting QB for the 2015 Skins.

If he could just learn to throw the ball away or take a sack instead of throwing it when nobody is open he could be a solid qb in this league.
Edit: i think he gets it, but he just needs to learn to live to fight another day. Im suddenly more excited for the season. DJax needs to be 100%, and we just might have a punchers chance this year.

Re: Robert Griffin III ready to turn career around with Redskins in 2015

I have one question that still baffles me. If all these things were issues, why pick up that option?

I mean it almost seems like Snyder said "we will pick up that option. Case closed"
just foolish to pick up that option with all the lack of performance on field and perceived locker room issues.

It might have come from Snyder.

Or I could see McLoughan and Gruden's logic being we need to give RG3 complete positive support, affirm him with a $16M option (even though it has no teeth and doesn't commit us), and pump him up as our starter because we flat out have no better option. They may have done this under the belief that Robert would benefit from a year in the offseason program.

If I were McLoughan and I were brand new I can definitely see me doing this.

But here in the preseason it's been same old crap from Robert, including disruptive handling of the media (I just work here). The option was probably viewed as a tool to send a positive message to him, but now that it's clear that he is not improving despite an offseason in the program and despite positivity, it's time to cut bait. And now the option hurts.

Whatever, just cut him. Nobody was ever going to give more than a 7th rounder anyway.
