It's what his condenscending ass gets

[Creepn]

If benching RG3 is a ploy for Snyder to fire him, then winning isn't a main priority to him. He should've been benched a long time ago. Snyder looks like a Jerry Jones lite.

[SupremeGuy]

So what happens if Cousins pulls a Nick Foles? lol Do the Redskins scratch the RG3 experiment next year or force whoever is coaching to start him?

[Lincoln]

Should've happened two weeks ago tbh, 24 sacks in 5 games is fuckin retarded and shanny finally admits his line that he personally constructed is terrible. Hope Kirk doesn't get killed behind it either

Hope Kirk balls out otherwise he loses whatever value he already has which seems to be pretty high considering the way some of y'all talk about him here lol. He's had a good half of football in his career, I'm interested to see what he can bring tho

If he goes ham, then my guess is there is an open QB competition in camp. It's very possible he might considering we play Dallas defense and Atlantas shitty secondary the next two games

RIP Cousins :cry

:lol

[TrainOfThought5]

Hmmmm..... would i be wrong to horde fantasy QBs to deny my opponent a legitimate opportunity against me?

[Creepn]

RG3 is starting next year even if Cousins sweeps the remaining games.

It would seem like it but I bet the new coach is gonna have an open competition in camp which ain't a bad thing

Sucks that shanny is playing chicken with the franchise QB tho to try and get fired from Danny. Danny won't fire him because it would mean he gets an easy 7 million and confirm the reports that was leaked on Sunday (by shannys camp) that rg3 and Snyder are too close

[leemajors]

you can have a horde of fantasy quarterbacks, but you have to hoard them to get there.

[Lincoln]

I just find mikes excuse of health as complete bullshit. Why would he start him in a blizzard on an icy field vs the number one defense in a meaningless game? Mikes trying to get fired, it's weird to say but I guess haynesworth and mcnabb were right about him crofl. Sounds just like the cardiovascular excuse mike used in 2010

There's a reason that elway, Plummer, mcnabb, cutler, and now rg3 have conflicted with him and now I see it. It's his ego imo

[DPG21920]

RG3 has a worse ego. His teammates even call him out. C

[Bill_Brasky]

one read QBs don't last long in the NFL.

No. 1 defense? They played the Chiefs. Should've started him slow and not feed him to the wolves. This is a toxic situation that will probably end up with the ouster of both Shanahan and down the line, Cawnbread.

:lol fuck someone picked up cousins already :cry:cry:cry

:lol damn. mccown and rg3 benched :cry:cry i have no qb :cry:cry

You are dead on. They can use Cousins as a trade piece though if he balls out there so it could be a win win situation.

The owner is in love with RGIII, Shanahan is just doing this to get fired, if he quit the job he wouldn't get the money.

Hey Achilles--is Edelman a viable play this weekend?

[AchillesHeel]

should be, he's been beasting this season, had a solid game against the Bears

yup, shanny wants that 7 mill and is trying to piss off snyder and prove a point that the source he leaked on sunday (snyder/rg3 relationship) is true. its pretty pathetic tbh, he is canned the day the regular season ends though for sure.

As much as i shit on shanny for being a shady two faced rat, he did leave this franchise with more then what it had when he took the job in 2010. problem is who the fuck wants to come here now? no more retreads that won the SB 15 years ago, or art briles. need some new young hungry blood tbh

[Lincoln]

but imagine the media explosion if he did play griffin the last 3 games and he somehow got hurt, he is doing the right thing but he shuoldve done this 2 weeks ago

[Lincoln]

watching the shanny press conference video now...hes so hard to read. everything he is saying makes sense and seems like he may be back next year but he is and always has been shady as fuck.

if we get blown out 45-10 or so the next 3 games then yeah he is gone but as of now i think he is staying...based off his body language and comments

[Trill Clinton]

they should have sat rg3 a long time ago. he never fully got healed. this is cousins chance to show what he's got and hope some team offers him a contract in the offseason. i actually like him so i wish him the best and hope he doesn't end up like matt flynn.

[BRHornet45]

Congratulation Redskins fans.

Excellent news for you guys.

[Raven]

i don't understand why would someone like shanny play politically correct now that he is about to get fired, he could just say he benched him because he sucked. end of story.

[The Gemini Method]

I wish I were tan like Shanahan...

Ok...maybe I posted that last post because it rhymed well. I wouldn't want to be him at this point...

What a difference a year makes. The real losers here are the Rams, as they'll lose out on a top 3 pick once Cousins beasts these final 3 weeks

Better than being stuck with one a one-legged jig who ate up all your future draft picks

[Pelicans78]

RGIII is getting benched because he sucks not because he's injured. That's the only truth. He's healthy enough out there to read defenses and quick decisive decisions, but he can't do that and he can't rely on his legs to bail him out. So its time to bring in someone else.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
