How can Skins start RGIII?

[big dog cowboy]

Was the Lions first string D still playing when they came in? I dunno, wasn't watching.

DET had already started rotating in their backups from what I could tell but for their starting DL is was feeding time at the zoo.

Three first round draft picks.

LOL

this should be cautionary tale for us for life after Romo,there is no guarantee that we will get a next franchise QB even if we drafted one in the first Rd.

Chip will trade for him next offseason. It will be heralded as the boldest and most genius move in the history of the NFL. The perfect compliment to Chip's college offense.

unlikely, if he's on the roster the first day of the league year, he's due $16 million. More than likely Washington is forced to release him and he gets to choose his next team. Maybe it will be the Eagles, but there will be no trade.

One can dream, right?

cousins and colt do ok behind it.

Kirk and Colt have not played with the first unit. So no, they haven't played behind that line.

RGIII is a much better quarterback than the other two.

Holy crap there are a whole bunch of RG3 threads here.

Right now it doesn't matter who QBs the team. GMSM is going to get another top 5 pick in the 2016 draft. Which should be the goal of this season and next

I do find it entertaining how a certain set of Commanders fans convince themselves of Kirk Cousins' ability every year, only to be reminded that he's a pickoff machine when he actually plays.

I concur.

Agree. Cousins isn't the answer. I am just at the point that RG3 won't succeed in DC.

That is kind of like saying your first cousin is a much better marriage option than your sister.

I believe they were for cousins, Rg came out early. I think in this 2nd week starters play most of 1st half.
what I looked at was the way the qb moved and accuracy of throws of different range.
And the other 2 are just better in every way.

Colt McCoy took the second string snaps this game...Cousins didn't come in until the third.

He needs a new team.

I don't know if he succeeds in NFL

your right I remember now.

Cousins is not consistent, he will play real good and then not good.
but I think he could be a decent qb with more experience and a better team, and more run plays with a run game that works better.
He is in the same class as foles ?

Ok I saw what others saw tonight, and I saw highlights of PS game 1, so I am wondering
how can Commanders not start cousins?
He is way better than RG and even colt is looking better than RG !!
To be honest I would start cousins as the # 1 colt as # 2 and RG as the last resort backup.

I know they promised him he would start, but how is it fair to the other players, and the fans,
to not start the best QB !!
The idea is to win games lol not cater to someone who just isnt good enough at this point.

If the skins waste 5 games and lose 4 or 5 of them, and then put cousins in, that is just insane!

I also wonder if the other players, like the ol are trying to get rid of RG.
Washington might be competitive if they just arrange the QB lineup with RG at the bottom.

Two words: Dan Snyder.

He has ORDERED that RGIII starts.

Did you order the code red?

You are gosh darn right I did... and I'd do it again!

But but?

Yea, at this point I think RG3 has lapped Romo. If you asked me to trade RG3 for Romo straight up I would laugh in your face.
