Redskins reportedly are not bringing back Colt McCoy

McCoy's release IMO signals the correct decision we will be hoping to draft a young QB. Even if it is late in the draft. We need a young developmental QB, rather than stick with the veteran McCoy who is limited. Roll the dice with a young QB! We need new blood.

Your thinking this year.. well roll the dice there?

If Scotty Mac is thinkin anything what im thinking.. its looking more like your username. Defense baby, stack it up. Fix the OL.

Yup. We could use a young arm to groom.

Now that Colt isn't coming back, they're going to draft someone. Especially with KC and RG3 in the 4th year of their rookie deals. I've read that they like a Sean Mannion from Oregon State.

IMO he could be a good mid-round pickup. He has a lot of starting experience in a pro style offense.

Good news to me. He had a chance and failed. LaterColt McCoy's stats last season, per nfl.com. Griffin's stats in parentheses:

I think saying Colt McCoy "failed" is too strong a word, unless you are ready to give up on Griffin.

According to John Clayton they are also interested in Mariota.


@Russellmania980: .@ClaytonESPN on @ColemanESPN via @ESPNRadio "If he (Mariota) falls to five, I'm telling you this right now, they'll (#Redskins) take him."

@Russellmania980: .@ClaytonESPN on @espnradio "He's (Mariota) not going to fall to the Jets @ 6. I'll tell you this right now the Redskins will take him at 5

Oh dear, that would make quite the circus event if that happened.

I'd like to reserve a front row seat, please.

Man, I love this off-season intrigue! Chip Kelly's antics and now this? Good stuff. I can hardly wait to see the next act.

why isnt Colt here?Why did we keep one "failure" over another? I hope we kept Griffin over McCoy because the coaches see more promise in him, and not because of ownership. But past history is not encouraging.
