Redskins to start McCoy over RGIII
By Adam Schefter

The Washington Redskins are planning to start Colt McCoy over Robert Griffin III this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, according to a team source.

While Griffin is not a part of Washington's plan for Sunday's game, he still appears to be a significant part of the Redskins' long-term plan, per another source.

Yet right now, the Redskins are hitting the reset button, though it might not last long, a source cautioned as Washington has high hopes for the coming offseason.

For the first time since it surrendered three first-round picks and one second-round pick for the right to draft Griffin, the Redskins will have their full allotment of picks in addition to room under the salary cap. That means behind owner Dan Snyder and general manager Bruce Allen, the team will be positioned to strike this offseason, spend big-time dollars and improve its roster.

Also, Washington hired head coach Jay Gruden in large part for his stellar work with quarterbacks, and the team is convinced coaching, cash and patience can help turn Griffin back into the player who won the Heisman Trophy and Offensive Rookie of the Year in back-to-back seasons.

Riots in DC?

Meh. I don't see the argument. Shit happens. RG3 doesn't get hurt and he probably has a different career. Also, Gruden is probably racist. We should go smash up a liquor store.

I honestly think that the redskins management are trying to lose out. They want Mariota.I don't blame them. It will be interesting to see what team RG3 will be on next year. My guess is he goes to the bills possibly.

Griffin sucks. There is some talent there but he is really no different than Vince Young and just as fragile. Redskins need to rebuild again.

I don't know when Quarterbacks will learn, if you want a long successful career in the NFL, stay in the pocket. Taking hits from guys who weigh 50+ pounds more than you will eventually ruin your career.


I feel awful for the Redskins fans because they thought they found their franchise QB for 10+ years, now they have Colt McCoy. I hope Colt does well and holds down the starting job, hasn't really been given an opportunity to play on a good team.

And he still hasn't.

He has a better receiving core and running game than he had in Cleveland but that Oline is terrible.

RG3 IN DENVER............................we need a god fearing QB that is not accurate and likes to run and whose celebrity status outweighs his ability..........

Set your keyboard on fire and throw it out the window.

And then ram your head into the wall, repeatedly.

Lol, sorry I took so long to reply, I was sorting out my arm sleeve in preparation for him becoming a bronco

Elway was interested in him at one point. Hopefully he is no longer interested. RGIII has talent but injury prone and has rumors of bad leadership.

Pocket passer is still the way to go in the NFL.
