    And who cares one way or the other? Luck is a Colt now, RG3 is a Redskin, the Redskins aren't a natural rival of the Colts and as far as I know RG3 has been nothing but a respectable kid since day 1. I hope they both have great careers.

      Never said otherwise.
      There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

        To be 100% honest I think part of why they are not playing RG3 much is because A. He seems to be grasping the system pretty well and is progressing at a rate they like. and B. perhaps more importantly, and especially against a good Bears defense, our line was crap. To be fully fair we got hit with some injuries, but the line was beat on every series. RG3 was forced to tuck the ball and run way more then I cared to see, granted that is why I was happy he "fell" to us.
        I'll buy a little bit of B, but absolutely none of A. EVERY QB at this point of the season wants/needs the time on the field. There not been a QB in the history of the NFL that has consumed the offensive playbook and learned to read an NFL defense in his first month or so in the league. And no - I'm not implying that Cousins is going to start, but there's something going on with Griffin. Wasn't one of the Redskins strong points their O-line ?? I don't pay much (if any) attention to them, but I thought I had heard that earlier. If Griffin doesn't play into the 2nd half Saturday, something is wrong.

          The starters will play the whole first half and one series in the second half. They will not dress for game 4. Apparently this has always been Shannys style (never noticed it before, shows how much I pay attention)

          Redskins strong point is O-line. Our line sucks, has for a while, and probably will for a while. Cerrato and company ignored it year after year, and short of our patch work guys becoming all pro (and Trent Williams staying away from the bong) the line will be a mess this year as well. Hell, this is not even talking about the injury bud (which has already hit the o-line is the last game)

            I spent a lot of time in Washington this summer and this was a constant thread on talk radio. Redskins fans and management would not trade RG3 for Luck. They may be right or wrong but they love RG3. ...

              3. Pierre Garcon spurned the Colts to sign with Washington. If RGIII fails, Pierre Garcon will fail
              4. I don't like Mike Shannahan and want him to fail.
              5. The stupid socks
              RGIII certainly deserved the Heisman over Luck. We will see if RGIII is on Luck's level very soon and I don't mean in a preseason game. Why would Garcon` sign with a team that was going to lose just about every Sunday and take less money that Redskins offered. If you wanted them to keep Garcon` they should have paid him. I look for Pierre to have a 1000 yard+ season. Mike Shannahan is a very good football coach. His owner is suspect much like our owner is suspect but for different reasons. So, this really all comes down to socks? ...

                Easily said when one knows they aren't getting Luck.

                If you had a girl that was a 9 and a girl that was a 10 but knew you only had a chance with the girl that was a 9, then of course you'd be all about the girl that was a 9.

                  so use this as the game thread? makes sense.

                  playcalling sucks so far.

                              They are being ultra conservative to try and keep Luck from being killed. That rush you are seeing is what he will face all year long.... I am afraid it won't be pretty.... ...
