Yeah, but its tough to ignore last year, and you know what they say about those who do not know history.

This game wont decide the fate of the franchise, but the remainder of this year certainly will.

Why are some of you making such a big deal over a disagreement between the HC and higher management over who should play? That is normal stuff in the NFL. The coach wants to win now and the GM wants to see the young players he brought in play so they can develop. The owner wants to see the player who is supposed to become the Franchise QB play. Standard stuff.

You have no way of knowing that.

Standard for the Redskins and their organization for sure

Well, I guess the way I'm looking at it is:

1. RG3 steps up his game - he and Gruden get their chance to make something happen together.

2. RG3 is Average - team flounders, but he and Gruden get another year or two to right the ship.

3. RG3 Stinks/Is injured again - ???


I mean, really, I made a stupid statement because, of course, every season decides the fate of a team to some degree or another. but the big question is RG3, and his play for the remainder of the season will ultimately be a huge factor in the team's plans going forward. Again, that's kind of a given, but I guess my point was, yeah people may be putting too much emphasis on the importance of this one game, but RG3 has to show something this year and i think that is the real sentiment.

Yeah maybe it is, but you don't see disagreement in Indy or Seattle do you? Ultimately, that is on RG3, because if he were playing like Luck or Wilson there would be no discussion. Still, I think all of us would feel better if there was consensus in the front office/coaching staff about the starting QB. I agree though, that this probably shouldn't be read as a "Snyder is meddling" instance.

He can shut everyone up.. the media, the fans, Gruden's doubts, it will all go away if he can put together a nice run here the last 8 games. Let's hope he does that. My thinking is he's going to struggle.

A) RGIII is injured badly again: how many serious injuries can one guy take? This depends on the nature of the injury, of course.

B) RGIII stinks: he loses confidence. His game therefore goes downhill. Team starts to doubt him, too. Synergystic spiral down in which RGIII never reaches his full potential due to lack of confidence.

I'm not saying these things will happen - heaven forbid - but I am filling in your "???"

[Evilgrin]

He needs to play, to see if he can stay healthy. If he can't stay healthy, its the same as being a bust.

[rocnrik]

RGIII will never be AVERAGE!.. He is a world class athlete who has to stay healthy to become great..if he does he will be everything the Skins thought .. Colt is a good backup who can come in when needed..nothing more nothing less..Cousins is gone ..he can't beat out Colt..no way we beat dallas with cousins..from what I saw monday night if the Skins bring that game to minnesota they will blow out the vikings..RGIII should start and play smart ..if he struggles you can go to Colt.

I don't doubt the truth of the statement BUT it's just sad that it is likely true.

When I read a Jeebeejeesuz from Joe OMG.
Season altering actions may ensue....
