Sorry nodded off there for a sec

We don't need both them as backups. Can we please trade Cousins for the highest pick we can get then draft a young QB in the later rounds that has some upside and wont threaten RGIII as starter this year? Having 1 guy doing that is enough. Don't want QB carousel all year. Hopefully RGIII starts all 16 and Colt is solid backup.

I'd rather have Griffin starting, because he is better, but one of them should be starting and one should not be on the team. Having all 3 is ridiculous to go thru again. It's like a clown car. Colt is a perfect #2.

I like this better.

I just don't think the QB position is getting "fixed" this year. IMHO - Scot McC is seeing what JG can do with the materials at hand. If he makes progress, he gets another year and maybe a new QB (or maybe the QB position is resolved with the materials at hand). If no progress, despite all the other upgrades, then out goes JG and in comes Scot McC's coach (whomever that may be).

Again, no quick fixes but rather patience and seeking a long term solution at all levels. Fan base is going to need to make some attitude adjustments on how to judge progress.

If we go into the season with McCoy, Cousins, and RGIII as our QB's, you might as well pencil us in for 4-12 right now. We already know from experience that you can't win with that group.

You talk like they are the only three guys on the team that can influence a win.

Sorry, I did not mean to imply that.

Nonetheless, as for QB contributions to wins, we know already what the current QB group offers: nothing. We will once again have one of the worst QB groupings in the league if we stand pat.

What do you suggest that they do? The options are pretty limited in free agency.

Not sure I agree. Last year was JG's first as a coach, there was no QB coach, and Bill Callahan wasn't here. In addition, the D was - well - terrible. Let's see if the QB play improves with a year in the new system and a dedicated QB coach.

You may be right, the current QB's may be truly limited in their ceilings. If so, we address it next year. On the other hand, patience is a virtue - we simply can fix it all in a year and, at that position, it's important to do it right. Otherwise, we keep recycling crap.

If we focus more on the run, less on the pass, have better special teams play and a defense that can keep games manageable for the offense we can have a decent season. We need to focus less on depending on QB play and more on our other areas.

Well it looks like that's what they're doing/did. When Griffin is in there we don't see a pass over 10 yards.

No way. We'll win a minimum of 6 games. That defensive line has been upgraded dramatically. However, six may also be the maximum wins as well...lol
