Because of his regression, to have credibility in the locker room, he had to play Kirk Cousins. RG3 is confused by the rationale that he wanted to preserve his health for the offseason, having a hard time swallowing that. Ian Rapoport: The coaches think they are getting fired and a lot of them want to get fired because of how miserable it is but Shanahan will not resign at the end of this because he wants the $7 mil due to him in the final year of his contract.
We shall see. He's only played one full game. It was a good one, albeit against the Browns, but Matt Flynn should tell you to not put too much stock in one game.
Hahahahaha http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...ht-trade-a-first-round-pick-for-kirk-cousins/ He better melt the field, for the rest of the season, if the Skins want a first for him.
Kyle Shanahan, staff inexperience at core of Redskins dysfunction Well ain't that damning on Baby Shanahan.
More embarrassing for the owner. Not good press for mini Shan either though. How do you let a brat run stuff like that. The owner is the one to blame for this season.
It makes sense. He never really had much "power" in Houston... even for his 1 season where he was "calling plays", it was all implementing Kubiak's game-plan. It was inevitable that he would let the perceived "power" go to his head... when he really has never proven to be qualified to be in the position he is, other than having the same last name as his dad.
Kirk Cousins has 2 turnovers today a pick and a lost fumble he skins has a whole have 6 turnovers the falcons have made adjustments and are starting to figure Cousins out... another matt flynn/kevin kolb this guy is me thinks
Matt Flynn threw 6td's in one game before, easy to play well when teams dont know your tendencies or have you on film
7 turnovers now.... 3 by Cousins smh Rg3 needs a better coach, i hope the skins trade him to a team like the vikings
he hasnt been figured out at all, are you even watching the game right now... this game is only showing that redskins problem isnt on rg3 the skins are a joke of a team lol put rg3 in the right system and he will flourish... he needs to be in a system like Aaron Rodgers today Shanahan is playing a qb tailor made for his system, and it has resulted in the most turnovers they have had all year againist the 30th ranked defense in the nfl. shanahan wants young players to adapt to him, rather than adapt to their talents, the only reason why he put rg3 in a read-option offense was because he wanted him injured so he could play Cousins( the guy he wanted all along) and he isnt a creative enough head coach to develop an offense to his strengths... imagine what Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh would do with a talent like RG3
over 60% completion, over 7 yards per pass attempt, leads all qb's in rushing yards, 3,000 yards passing... yea he really sucks... he is def the WORST qb in the NFL
Hang on to those stats all you want... if he's good, its because of him. If he's bad, its because of the system. I actually used to like RG3... before you came in here with the clear bias. He has been BAD this year... its not surprising that Cousins looked better today in the same offense that RG3 looked good in last year. Either RG3 is not healthy, or the league adjusted to him... its probably a little of both. But if you think RG3 has been anything short of mediocre/awful this year, you're going to lose whatever credibility you have left.
lol the skins have 7 turnovers in this game... Cousins has 3 of them againist the 30th ranked defense in the nfl... is it not clear to you that rg3 is NOT the problem... smh does Cousins need another turnover for you too see that
