RGIII to start vs Vikings

[StoningtonQB]

Robert Griffin III to start for Washington Redskins Sunday against Minnesota Vikings - ESPN

Coming out of his signature win against Dallas, Colt McCoy is going back to the bench in favor of Robert Griffin III.

Redskins fans, how healthy has he been lately? Is he anywhere near 100%?

As a Vikings fan, I'm happy to hear this. I'd rather play RG3 coming off an injury than Colt McCoy right now. He seems to be comfortable and in a rhythm in that offense.

Colt McCoy Stats:

Game 1: 92% completion; Comeback win;
Game 2: 83% completion; Win over 6-1 Cowboys.

Result = Benched.

I have Washington in the Pickems because I thought it would be McCoy playing,now I'm not so sure about that pick.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Switched my pick to minnesota.

I think this is a case of "RGKnee is the starter and he gets his starting spot back when he is healthy." But he better perform right away, because Gruden is going to have the hook ready and McCoy warmed up and waiting to go in the game.

RGIII was drafted as the chosen one. If he is healthy, why wouldn't he play? The Redskins aren't going anywhere so you might as well figure out sooner than later if RGIII is the true future of the Redskins. Not to mention, how many times have we seen a backup QB come in and play well? It happens all the time. Let's face it, McCoy's pro resume is below average. Figure out if RGIII is your franchise. Once you realize he is not, move on to McCoy.

Yeah, RG III should be the starter but be put on a short leash due to the emergence of Mccoy.

Happens when you have a meddling owner that absolutely loves him some RG3. I would not be surprised to see RG3 struggle and Gruden get fired in a year or two.

Common sense would agree with this logic, but I'm not so sure he will do this.

Yep, they are going to get their monies worth out of RGKnee and/or cripple him in the process.

Colt McCoy is a short Josh McCown. Pull him now (before he inevitably implodes) and trade him to someone with no common sense as a proposed starter for them next year.
