Colt McCoy can win you a game or two as a back up here and there, but if he starts for any extended length of time defenses will take advantage of the fact he doesn't have NFL grade arm strength and can't make all the throws. I think it is a strange phenomena that it seems when a flawed career back up moves to another team or hasn't played in eons he can have some brief success as a starter then all his weaknesses are exposed again. He is then back to being lucky to complete 50% of his passes and throw for 125 yards. If McCoy is higher than your third stringer you have a QB problem.

RG3, off course he has shocked Redskin fans in a bad way. While most people can't believe that he is the same guy that won offensive rookie of the year. There is a pretty
simple explanation, first defensive coordinators have learned to stymie the dual threat quarterback. (see Colin Kaepernick) Unfortunately Robert's athleticism has also diminished
due to injury, that quick explosive first step that he used to avoid defenders is gone. There really is no such thing as a sophomore slump on an NFL QB who starts as a rookie.
It is defensive coordinators finally having enough film to expose all the weaknesses.
So basically Robert was hit with a double whammy and it appears he cannot learn new skills to replace the ones that were taken away.

I vote for Kirk, let us see what he can do as an extended starter. He has looked much more like a solid NFL QB than the other two when you compare everyone's A game. Of course when Kirk throws a pick and melts down he doesn't even look worthy of starting a D3 college game let alone in the NFL. Of the 3 he appears to me as the only one having upside. Maybe another year has helped him with the mental part of the game.
