We were the straw...
 

That finally broke RG3's back.

RT @JeffDarlington: Redskins players have been told Rex Grossman will backup Kirk Cousins on Sunday -- and RGriffin III will be inactive.

Lol fail.

I didn't even know Rex Grossman was still in the league. Or alive for that matter.

Off topic a bit, but I wonder if there are people here that wanted Mike Shanahan to be hired here who feel that it was a mistake that we didn't go after him when he was available?

shanny wants a paid vacation

I don't know the answer to that question, but here's your chance to rub dirt in my eye -- if Cousins plays well, of course.

I'm didn't want him...I despised him with Denver, so he would have been easy to give the boot if things went South. I don't, however, know how much of what is going on in Washington is his fault. I think it's a caustic mix of egos and outside influences. Whitlock makes a good point here:

Jason Whitlock ‏@WhitlockJason 9m
There's blame on both sides. This is the Shanahans vs the Griffins, dads and sons. Each group has 1 too many people involved.

Shanahan is a fine coach, but he should never have been given 'total control' again and he shouldn't be allowed to hire his son to run the offense. I was hoping for the best with him in WAS, but that has failed.

I didn't ****ing want him. I hate that cock sucking cheating lying ****ing scumbag.

However, since he has full control, I hope he cuts RG3 and we pick him up. We still have first claim on the waiver wire right? Won't happen I know, but I'd laugh.

LMAO

I can't wait for Kirk Cousins' Subway commercial.

Wow. Bob is a healthy scratch? The rat has gone to Defcon 4. How long before Snyder sends Tonya Harding to the rat's office with a Louisville Slugger?

Now if we could just be the straw to break Peyton's back.

I'm hoping to win our first round game, and then go into their house and stomp the dog shit out of them in front of their home crowd - Similar to what they did to us in 1998. IIRC, we had beaten them twice that year and they came into Arrowhead and beat us in the playoffs. I'm hoping for the reverse. How sweet it would be.

ROFL

I was at the '94 game in Mile High,Montana vs. Elway and your scenario above would surpass that great feeling by eleventy billion.

Define "well".

Cousins will play just good enough to make people not hate him and just bad enough that the Redskins won't actually make any progress.

Kirk Cousins is the very definition of "meh".

But, but, but, at least Washington had the balls to move up in the draft and take a franchise QB. LOL

The only thing better would be us and the 6 seed running the table to set up the AFC Championship game at Arrowhead.

Which topic of contention would you be wrong about, again?

Snyder should be happy. Griffins mechanics have gone to hell. No point risking an injury with all the sacks he's taking. Hope Cousins plays well so you can get some draft picks for your new HC.

actually the topic is about your integrity, not mine. you called for Cousins to be the QB instead of Smiff and I cussed you for inferring Cousins was good enough to start for even the lowly Chiefs. I just thought I'd bring this up. mr right.

wins. puts his team in position to win. there are a number of ways an NFL QB can do this, so I'm not going to write them all out here, but the bottom line is win.

RG3 needs to take the rest of the season to rest and start working on his mechanics.

And then Shannahan and his shitty son need to leave that ****ing team. The Redskins need an entire new coaching staff....with an actual GM in charge.

Shanahan would have been better than Todd Haley.

That ship sunk fast, eh?

RGIII Did look like shit on Sunday though.

That Rat is one sly mother****er...LMAO

Bring him in for a look?

Like I said, he'll win just enough for people not to completely hate him.

He's a 9-7 guy. A game manager in every sense of the word.

Not only is RG3 inactive, but THEY ARENT EVEN ALLOWING HIM TO TRAVEL WITH THE TEAM.

Shanahan is BEGGING to be fired.

Is Griffin's DAD really involved?

couldn't happen to a better guy (Shannahan)

What a great QB draft class!

if, big if, but if the conspiracy theories are not correct that shanny is looking to get sacked, I wonder if this is a shot in the dark attempt to make cousins look attractive for a trade, to recoup some draft picks already short from rg3 trade.

It just gets better.

What a Haley-esque fail...

really? I don't think this guy can win at this level. hey, I am wrong now and then, but I don't see what you see in this guy.

This is what I want to know.

I don't see anything in the guy. I think you're reading me wrong.

I watched Cousins his entire college career. With a stout defense and a good running game, he can do enough to not lose the game.

For all the complaining around here about Ricky Stanzi, it's hilarious to see the love for Cousins, who is basically a poor man's Ricky Stanzi.

If he is, then good for Shanahan.

Everybody hates Mike because of Denver, I get it.

But if Lil' Bobby's DAD is involved, that's just ****ing grade school.

This. He's trying to get fired.

That ENTIRE team is ****ed.

Exactly. This would be just a shit storm if that is the case. Anybody have any more info about RGJR being involved?

I went to the game Sunday and while I was on the metro I heard someone saying that RGIII's dad was an issue. I kind of scoffed at the notion, but this now the second time I have heard his name in association with these issues.

did haley bench a QB drafted 1.2 or is this another one of your whiny weakass posts.

Thanks for posting...

Shanahan is being nice. If I were him and wanted to sabotage, I'd play RG3 and run read-option for the last 3 weeks. Instead he's leaving behind a healthy RG3 and building trade value for Cousins.

ROFL @ trade value. No one is going to trade for Cousins. He's not a starting QB.

Rams are happier by the minute.

FYP

So if some of you think Shanrat wants to be fired. Is that a prelude to go to the Texans where he can coach a team built by Kubiak?

I've heard that RG3 is a prima dona. He thinks he's better than he is and so does his dad. And they both aren't shy to tell the head coach that. What a piece of shit(s).

That's weird that you want to turn this into a "you're stupid," finger-pointing affair. Totally unexpected.

But he's Kirk Cousins!

that entire team played like shit on Sunday,wonder why they would single out Griffin. Guys were just playing to not get hurt out there on the Redskins.

If I remember correctly, there was a poster very talented at making gifs that wanted him pretty badly.

Shannahan-Elway = Pioli-Brady

Now of course Brady has made more than one career.

Better than bad does not equal good.

But to that point, 24-36 is so much better than 19-26, isn't it?

Not really finger pointing.

Just curious if opinions have changed.

I knew that when he told Cleveland he didn't want to be drafted by them

Wait. So cousin's is trash?

We were the straw...

...to stir the anitfreeze

I still think he can be.. This is almost the same thing people were harping on Cam about..

So it's a black thing?

Not really. Just BLAH.

Mr. Mediocre.

It feels nice that were the straw instead of the broke dick camel for a change.

Did anyone see RGIIIs commentd after the game? Unacceptable for a guy who's suppose to be a leader.

There's gotta be an NFL GM as dumb as Jon Gruden.

Gruden thinks Cousins going onto the trade market is the best possible option out of the draft/trade/free agent options this year

Hes not a leader. Hes just a kid with all the talent in the world but hes not a carry the team guy yet. He doesnt have that fearless tough love running this mother ****er attitude.

We were the straw...
 

I thought he said that he knew he wouldn't be drafted by them, so he didn't want to waste his time; or something like that.
