Cousins to start 2015 Season

J is the person that stands (stood) to benefit by drafting a QB this year. I don't know if it was J's decision or Scott's and I didn't intend to make my argument based on who made the decision. And like you said Scott had input from the coaches. My point was that IF a QB had been selected it would offer a reason to keep Jay IF the current QBs fail. And as it stands now I would bet that if J fails with Kirk an inseason or certainly an end of the season firing is on the table. And if say there was a light at the end of the tunnel provided by a developmental QB then Jay would have a greater chance of returning IF the QBs fail

I think that's quite a stretch. Jay has pissed off Dan Snyder enough that if he doesn't win this season no developmental QB could have saved him. Also, Scot might jump at the chance to hire his own man.

Man, when is this rg3 trade gonna get done? Gettin late

Nothing is going to happen until he's cleared to play. Even then, you'll have to get RG3 to agree to change that option year, so my guess it's more likely he'll be cut. I do hope we can get a draft pick for him though.

We know that McLoughan has say over player personnel, but has anybody ever heard Allen or Snyder say that he has control over coaching decisions? Serious question because I don't think he does. I think he and Gruden are peers in the reporting hierarchy, both reporting to Allen.

Allen might ask McLoughan what he thinks but I am pretty sure Allen retains the decision making on the head coach.

Not sure I believe everything said by Gruden, I think some of it is 'towing the company line'...

I'd rather Gruden tow the company line than be so blatantly straightforward it causes national news and is quoted for years to come. Really really want boring media coverage for the team, when we have no news to read every day we'll have finally become a legit franchise.

But the logic makes no sense to me.Which part?

...If this season hc1 fails he is bringing in a new hc and that new hc will get a chance to pick his qb in the draft to develop, unless of course the hc says he wants to keep any of the 3 qbs. And no hc prospect is going to keep a qb that comes with 4 seasons of QB1s drama.IF J fails with Kirk and Griffin isn't traded away the new HC could decide to keep Griffin and also draft their QB of the future. A similar scenario happened with 49ers w/ Alex Smith. They hired Harbaugh who kept Smith. He developed Smith,who had failed to develop/produce with the previous HCs, into a solid starting QB to the point where they had winning season and were able to trade him for value. During that same period that HC drafted and developed his QB of the future in Kaep.

The best thing for the franchise right now is for J and Kirk to succeed. But if they succeed having a Harbaugh-Alex Smith type of situaion is imo the next best outcome. Pat Shurmur, Darrell Bevel or Tom Clememnts might decide to develop Griffin while also drafting 'their' QB of the future.

We know that McLoughan has say over player personnel, but has anybody ever heard Allen or Snyder say that he has control over coaching decisions? Serious question because I don't think he does. I think he and Gruden are peers in the reporting hierarchy, both reporting to Allen.

I asked a few people this, and they all told me Scot's decision

I guess really RG3 will not be gone from the team until Snyder tells them to do it. It could be the type of situation where RG3 gets another chance with the new coach, is benched, new coach gets fired, then replacement coach gives him another chance, he is benched, etc... rinse and repeat

Cool...
