Then it seems that he finally realizes the error of his ways when he hires Scot McCloughan, one of the best GM's in the business. And now, you're telling me he is still pushing his GM to make poor decisions on critical player personnel just when the franchise is about to turn the corner on the field? It's damn near unbelievable that he would do that, yet I do believe it. Hubris. Pure hubris.

I think the timeline would go something like this:

2015 offseason: Jay Gruden comes out and says RG3 is the guy and we are going to fully support him. Kirk is nothing more than an afterthought.

2015 training camp: Gruden/McC are slowly realizing RG3 is still garbage, especially around the time when we are holding simultaneous TC with the Pats (and the post camp reports that the Pats thought Cousins was better.)

2015 preseason: RG3 gets injured with the concussion, which lets Gruden/McC make their move to establish Cousins as the starter. Snyder is furious, prob still bitter that RG3 sucks years after giving up a bounty for him. Snyder dislikes Cousins because he really hasn't done anything during the regular season so far.

2015 games 1-8: Snyder sees Cousins looking weak out of the gate, with each passing game tries to figure out a way to get rid of Cousins and possibly non-Bruce Allen management for dissing his boy RG3.

2015 games 9-16: Begrudgingly admits the greatest comeback in Redskins history was semi-cool, tries not to get too hyped about it. Cousins then goes on to have an excellent second half but Snyder still isn't 100% sold. Cousins doesn't say anything but clearly the McC vote of confidence helped him step his game up.

2016 offseason: Cousins gets tagged, we play the wait-and-see game.

2016 first two games: Cousins looks mediocre out of the gate, Snyder is either furiously overreacting or at least mildly panicking that 2015 season pt.2 was a fluke, starts wondering if Cousins has any trade value left.

2016 - current: Cousins making Snyder look dumb again. Maybe Snyder has learned to just sign the checks and let McC make football decisions. Not putting my money on that though.
