SFREDSKIN 09-14-2014, 11:08 PM Isn't Phillip Thomas on the practice squad? I don't expect anything out of him, AFAIC he's unproven.
And now that the qb debate will be raging for the rest of the season, let me start by asking are we prepared to move on from RG3 if KC looks good/great for the rest of the year? No doubt if we are winning games it will be a lot easier for people to move on from RG3. But what if he plays average? Do you bring RG3 back as the starter next year? Only situation where I see RG3 coming back as the starter next year is if KC plays himself out of starting consideration this year.
He is in the PS, if his foot heals soon I read somewhere that he will be activated to the roster.
CRedskinsRule 09-14-2014, 11:08 PM Separate question, anyone surprised that the Jags didn't put in Bortles? If they knew our history against backups they would have found any excuse to put him in!
Dirtbag59 09-14-2014, 11:09 PM Kerrigan has 4 sacks.
See I would never know that because ESPN! won't put sack numbers in one of those 3 boxes at that top of a players profile!

I don't think they want to ruin him behind that OL.

That is what I am thinking. Plus they aren't exactly stocked with offensive weapons.

Good point.

Even the commentators during the game said that it made no sense to put Bortles.
WillH 09-14-2014, 11:27 PM I have been firmly in the RG3 camp since the 2 were drafted, because he's talented and showed us so his rookie year, he seems like a good leader, we gave up a lot for him, and well he was our starting QB.
From day 1 though, with RG3, I held my breath on every play. And to be honest with myself, I have never seen a high profile player on this team EVER that was as fragile.
Maybe it is psychological because Cousins came at less of a price, but today I felt confident. I wasn't bracing for the hit every play. HE didn't seem to be either. He stood tall and confident, he made his reads, and delivered the ball quickly, accurately, and on time.
I think we all knew that he was the better pocket passer at this point, and surprise surprise it was Griffin going back to his run-first style that led to his injury (freak and flukey as it may have been) rather than sticking to their guns and developing him as a pocket passer.
Griffins young, and he has talent, so I don't want to count him out yet, but if Cousins keeps putting up the numbers he did today, I'm ready move on. Not that I have to be in the camp of 1 player or another, but we all know there is no room for 2 starting QBs on any team, and I just want to win.
I felt sick for Robert (I like him, he has good character), but then I finally exhaled and enjoyed good football without high blood pressure for the first time since these two were drafted, and I could totally get used to that.

The problem with RGIII is that he is very competitive and plays with a reckless style, he didn't play in a pro style offense in college and for him playing in the pocket is a learning process. Today he reverted to his reckless style of play and got hurt.

I don't know if I called that super reckless...he landed on his foot in an odd way. If he lands okay, he probably doesn't get injured. But oh well.
