Boss_Hogg Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 So the Red Lobster is saying that he hasn't made a decision about the starting QB for the Atlanta game. Mike claims that he's worried about "RGIII getting hurt" and "playing on turf". Then he went on to say that if Kirk starts then Robert is shut down the rest of the year. Odd, I thought a young QB needed all the work he could get. When asked if this was the advice of Dr. Andrews or the medical staff, Red said "No he's 100% I'm just worried about the beating he's taking." This is shades of the McNabb/Grossman benching in 2010. Update 12/11/2013 0930 John Keim @john_keim 35m Team source confirms NFL AM report that Kirk Cousins will start for the #Redskins against Atlanta Sunday. Also, it appears RGIII is going to be the 3rd on the QB depth chart. He's going to be inactive for the rest of the season. Grossman will the the #2. What a circus, this is worse than 2009.

lavar1156 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Good, whatever leads to Kirk Cousins starting. I'm sick of RGIII. Let him play again when he doesn't need the brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRobP42 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Shanahan probably got a call from RG3's dad telling him he's getting sacked too much. And the line isn't going to get any better. Griffin can't get rid of the ball at the end of his drop, so might as well keep him safe on the sideline until the offseason. KIRK COUSINS!!

styx491 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I understand where he's coming from but overall, in the grand scheme of things, this is not a good situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Paint Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Shanahan has turned into the Terrell Owens of coaches. I don't think benching Robert has anything to do with what's best for the team. It's more of a power play to force Snyder's hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilsburypgh Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Everybody keep talking about RG as if he is the only problem with this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Seems like a ploy to put pressure on Snyder to fire him sooner and stoke the "RG3 and Dan" fire Shanny started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleese Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Kirk starting is the only thing that will interest me in watching these next three games. And it isn't because I hate RG or think KC will be better. It is pure curiosity. I'd be curious to see what KC has to offer given three full weeks. It might be a total disaster worse than it is now. I don't know. But it would make me go from having zero interest in the Atlanta game to mild interest. Again, not because I beleive RG deserves to be "benched" or made a scapegoat. He's healthy right now (supposedly) and we are toast--- I do see the value in making sure he ends the season in one piece while at the same time seeing a little bit what KC has to offer. But yes, if it happens, it will only cause the drama meter to go from a 9.5 to a 10. But at this point, who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowland Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 This smells of Kubiak declaing Schaub the starter tafter the Jax loss and getting the ax from McNair. Trying to force Danny's hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love The Skins Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I hope playing Kirk Cousins isn't a mistake because if he stinks it up his trade value will be close to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Red Lobster then said he's worried about the playing surfaces (turf) against the Falcons and Giants yet he throws RGIII in the sandpit against the Seahawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HigSkin Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 He said he hasn't spoken to Robert yet but did talk to Dan. Sounds like he's trying to drive a wedge between Dan/RG and then flexing his muscles about this being his team to coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskins Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Either: A. He was told that he'll be back next year and doesn't want Rob to get hurt in meaningless games -or- B. This is a big "middle finger" to Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Dan Snyder: "I haven't made a decision on the head coach situtation for the rest of the season." Shanny is begging to be fired now. Just do it DANNY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catatonic Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 So who would be the backup, Sexy Rexy? They should bring back Colt Brennan just for kicks. If we're going to have a circus, it may as well be an entertaining one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Weirdo Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Power play by Shanahan. Basically daring Snyder to fire him. Some cold ass **** right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 if you're taking out your QB because you're worried about him getting hurt it's time to modify the OL, practice performances bedamned. Secondly I'd rather Kirk not get hurt either. Put in Rex. He's closer to the end of his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 HTTR24-7.com @HTTR24_7 10m Shanny waiting for Dan to make him play Robert..Soon as he does, Mike will leak a story to Adam Schefter around 10am Sunday morning @czabe: RG3, has been benched. Period.”Donovan McNabb II Ben Standig @BenStandig 16m So...basically Shanny is daring RG3 to run to Snyder about getting benched and then daring Snyder to do nothing. Tarik El-Bashir @TarikCSN 19m Shanahan said the RG3 decision will done "in best interest of the organization." Has talked to Snyder about it. #RedskinsTalk HTTR24-7.com @HTTR24_7 21m Mike Shanahan using Robert Griffin III as a hostage in a standoff with Dan Snyder.. $7 million dollar ransom money.
