I think Shanahan will have a few more years to turn things around. You have to assume he is at least buying himself another year with two rookie QBs on the roster.

shoot, another 2 years at least.

I 100% disagree with the terrible track record notion...but I'm tired of that debate and eager to move forward

I think it's a little more clear now that McNabb was no innocent party.

And really, is there such thing as a smooth way to bench a QB?

I'm with SS, ready to move on.

We never should have taken Griffin. Jonathan Crompton, our real starter, is going to be threatened by the Griffin pick.

I hope someone signs McNabb, I really don't want to see him on TV any more then I have to.

I refuse to watch any program that he's a part of. Much like I won't watch anything with Bayless, I won't either with McNabb. Garbage TV is...Garbage.

I love Cousins but there is no way in hell he will be legitimately challenging RG3 any time soon and I mean that from the point of forgetting about their draft position and assuming they're on an even playing field and have an equal chance to compete for the starting job.

Right now both players suck at reading and reacting to pro defenses, such is the plight of the rookie QB in the NFL.

When Cousins drops back he is going to have that 3 or 4 seconds to find a receiver and get the ball to him and in college there were a lot of times where he struggled with that and ended up forcing some plays. With RG3 and his mobility there will be plays where that 3 to 4 seconds turns into 5 or 6 and that will compensate his inability to read defenses for the first year and a half and allow him to not only find open receivers but give the receivers time to escape and get open for a big play. And the thing that makes Griffin so special is he can find these receivers as he really is a pass first QB that happens to be able to run.

On top of that the thing I've been preaching this whole offseason is RGIII's ability to open up cutback lanes on handoffs by faking the bootleg. As good as Cousins might be one day he will never have the type of effect that Griffin creates by being a running threat.

Griffin will be better with the starters in preseason then Cousins will be facing 2nd and 3rd string defenses in preseason. And thats not a knock on Cousins, Griffin is just that freaking good.

This is the Luck-Griffin effect all over again. When Griffin was making headlines before the draft it seemed like a lot of people forgot how good of a football player Andrew Luck was. Now that Cousins is getting all the headlines Griffin's all-world talent is somehow being lost in the fray.

Griffin hopes Cousins can be the Kubiak to his Elway | ProFootballTalk

Sounds like Griffin is already doing great.

Was it me or did Griffin, during his post rookie camp interview, allude to the fact that the Skins were planning on taking CB Omar Boldin with their 4th round pick but the Broncos took him with the pick just before them? So, then we took Cousins instead. I may have heard that wrong.

Slightly off topic but an interesting footnote, nonetheless.

As for Cousins, I was happy with the pick and I think the members of the media that are trying to create a controversy (watch how many ?s were about Cousins during that same interview) are complete boobs! (the interview is available on redskins.com)

Like Matty said, that seemed to be what he was saying. But I don't know how true it is. Well, I should say I don't know how much that really applies to Kirk.

RGIII may have been referring to Phillip Blake who we were targeting and then went to Denver right beofre us in the 4th round so we traded down with Pittsburgh, or even Jarius Wright who we had also spent time with at the Senior Bowl but went right before us and we took Keenan Robinson

Yeah theres some truth to that probably. I know we worked Bolden out before. I didn't know that we wanted Blake that much according to SS. Jarius Wright I knew, but I don't like him that much, I liked Adams more.

Do you take anything from the Coach KS and the movement of the eyes when he said his name.
