I just want to see the QB situation resolved.

Griffin took 18 snaps:

Snap Judgments: Redskins @ Browns Snap Counts - Hogs Haven (http://www.hogshaven.com/2015/8/14/9151315/snap-judgments-redskins-browns-snap-counts)

Aaron Rodgers took 33 snaps:

Green Bay Packers vs. New England Patriots - Play By Play - August 13, 2015 - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/playbyplay?gameId=400791766&period=1)

I first heard this comparison on the radio.

If developing Griffin is the goal, why was his play limited to 18 snaps (and only 8 passes) compared to Rodgers' 33 snaps?

Who says what Green Bay does is the benchmark?

Regardless of what GB does, and not sure where I saw it, but last year had one of the lowest snap counts of any starter during preseason. I am betting if look around the league, most starters had more than eight attempts and 18 snaps. I could be wrong.

Regardless, the kid needs the work.

Man. You guys make up some of the craziest shit. If all Redskin fans believe a little bit of gossip and make it truth like some of you do. Well, it's no wonder our fan base is full of extremists.

RG3 has never conflicting to coaches teachings. No reporter has ever reported that as FACT. It's all hear say and propaganda.

Thats what I've been saying since Griff got here! I do not understand the mentality of not playing someone who needs the practice in preseason.Its like no coach is afraid to change because if someone gets hurt then the media will roast them.

[edit]

Agree, would love to see the first team get practice -- although admittedly this is the most the starters have done since

And Rodgers - honestly I'm not sure it's smart to play your franchise QB that much -- Rodgers usually gets hit a lot out there. But whatever they want..

Washington Redskins mailbag: What it would take to start Kirk Cousins - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/18957/redskins-mailbag-what-it-would-take-to-start-kirk-cousins)

Watching them play, and watching the plays called, it is clear that a different game is being called when KC is QB. It is also obvious (to me) that he is much more decisive than RGIII, that the drop is right, and that the ball comes out on time. Which is great, except he often, very decisively, throws an interception, and then another, and another, and so on.Yeah I noticed the difference in playcalling. We aren't the only ones who noticed the difference there was an post game article that made mention (hogshaven?) of the difference. But who knows what the reasons are there could be many. *Shrugs* Its only the first preseason game plenty of time to get Griff reps with the play concepts that Cousins ran.

I do agree that 100% Griffin should have got more reps. I don't really care what other people around the league are doing. I only care about what makes sense for this team; and it makes sense to get Griffin more reps.

Rodgers, Bortles, and Bridgewater are the only starting QBs in the top 25 for pass attempts so far

NFL Stats: by Player Category (http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?tabSeq=0&season=2015&seasonType=PRE&d-447263-n=1&d-447263-o=2&d-447263-p=1&statisticCategory=PASSING&conference=null&d-447263-s=PASSING_ATTEMPTS)

Starters usually get the quick hook in the first game, if they play at all, let's see how the rest of the preseason goes.
