I've heard a few people call it a blessing in disguise, but I think it's too early to tell.

2 years without the same amount of cash available is hardly a blessing. It's forced us to be restricted in a season where we are coincidentally not chasing a desperate need.

More and more teams like the read option so this decision is a gamble to maybe get a draft pick for 2014. Pat can be used to play RGIII in camp while Griff recovers and he very well could resurect himself during preseason.... Win\Win situation

[RGIII]

A QB similar to RG3 is one who's deadly accurate. Cousins, White, and Grossman are far from that.

Why do you have Cousins in the same group as White and Grossman? Cousins is miles above them. He could start for a lot of teams.

You say he's not deadly accurate? How about 69% completion with 101.6 rating?

I beg to differ. Kirk Cousins is very accurate. White is 0/5 for his entire career on pass attempts but isn't saying much. White was a 2nd round pick so he has to be at least somewhat good.

You guys are apparently missing the part where he said A QB similar to RG3...

Meaning a super athletic QB that can run and well as pass.

He also said Cousins was far from being deadly accurate. Bullsh#t. But I know what you mean.

A QB "similar" to RGIII would be a starter on most teams. I dont see how we could have a backup that runs the EXACT same offense RGIII does because RGIII is a unique talent.

In reality, every NFL offense is is tuned to the skills of its starting QB. No team has a starter and backup of equivalent talent, equivalent strengths, and equivalent weaknesses. Therefore, every single NFL team has to tweak its offense to some degree when the backup is playing. In that context, I honestly think Cousins is about as good a backup as we could hope for. He doesnt have the same athleticism as RGIII, but he can run 90% of the plays RGIII can. As we saw last year, he can be very effective, too.

Rex Grossman resigns with the Redskins!

Dynasty!

Redskins bring back Rex Grossman, again | ProFootballTalk

[Evilgrin]

Yes we can find an RG3 clone to be our backup, it should be no problem. The other 31 teams just missed him.

I am also under the impression that everyone runs the same plays every year. They just change the numbers a little, or maybe incorporate a little pig latin?

Are we ignoring the fact he was injured while scrambling and not on designed runs?

Which time?
Which game?

Those were both his fault.
He should have slid way before that.
Rookie mistake + trying to be a hero.
