Pregame Thread: Redskins vs Colts

[Bucket]

The Era of Colt McCoy has begun. I'm excited to see what he can do.

[WillH]

Yeah wouldn't it be nice if we actually find out we have a decent starter, until we can figure out the future. Good luck Colt!

[skinsfaninok]

Not excited at all, Mccoy sucks folks, sorry but he'll probably be benched for Cousins sooner or later

I don't get why we write off Colt so quickly

[skinsfaninok]

He's a decent back up but he won't be a full time starter imo.

Me either.

He was in a terrible situation in Cleveland. Gets judged for his arm strength, but some of the best in the NFL don't have incredible arm strength. I think his intangibles are some of the best we've ever had in Washington behind center.

What makes you say that? Everything he's done in Washington so far has shown he can be a starter for this franchise...

Is it his age?

Is it because he was already playing somewhere else?

I don't get it.

The Texas Noodle is the best game manager we have. I think Colt will stick for the rest of the year because he makes the fewest negative plays and, while limited, makes enough positive plays.

[skinsfaninok]

Not his age just his overall play in his career. Yeah he had a good game against dallas and Tennessee but not enough to be named the long term answer

I know nothing, including why the heck any of our QBs are being written off at this point. Nick Foles took a year to become a decent QB, didnt he? Wasnt Eli Manning being discussed as a bust early in his career, before he became a decent QB?

Rg3 shined in Mike and Kyles 2012 system. I thought McCoy looked decent in CLE, just not as good as Hoyer, and good for us. And Cousins is just getting started.

His career hasn't even been judged in a full season of play yet. He had some injury problems early on. He was in Cleveland of all places.

Plenty of QB's in the NFL who went to another system on another team and had success and played well.

All I know is right now....

85% Completion Percentage.
450 yards
2 Touchdowns (1 rushing)
2-0


If a rookie was playing for us right now, or any other first year QB had those stats or beat Dallas on Monday night football. People would be calling him the next Joe Montana around here.

It's a shame as a fan base we base players the way we do. It's like we all have Snyder glasses on from being treated the way we have been treated.

The guy starting this Sunday is as humble as they come. He's getting his shot again in the NFL and he's done nothing but play lights out for this franchise and WIN for this franchise so far.

I feel like we deserve the culture we receive because of the way we act as a fan base.

[skinsfaninok]

I hope he does play well and I hope we can keep the guy but not getting hopes up

What was the number? 27 qb's in 21 years? The organization has made us a tad bit skeptical.

I think we actually keep it competitive this game.
