It's 12% if you're salary cap. That's not that much lower than the penalties Mara's put on you a couple years ago.Everyone is so damn hung up on Snyder's 16 million. Let it go. It's not your money.
I wanted to see what RG3 had this year and the reasons given for his benching was that Cousins gave them the best chance to win. Football move. No politics anymore. Well, that goes both ways. RG3 is better than McCoy, so he's the backup. Football move. No politics. Fine. Let's just play ball already.
As fans, we take Ownership of everything involved with our Team. As far as I'm concerned, that's my money as much as Snyder's!It's 12% if you're salary cap.

I read that article and I get what you're saying. I just think he still has a chance to be a great QB. From the article you linked:As fans, we take Ownership of everything involved with our Team.

Seriously, that's a boatload of cap, for a boatload of crap.
Sebo, I ain't sayin' nuthin' , but if you still need to to see if Griffin has anything, I'd be happy to sit down with you and some videos over a couple of ice-cold Ocelots the next time you're in town, to try and show you that he doesn't.
What we saw in 2012 was the awesomeness that is Kyle Shanahan as an Offensive Coordinator. I reveled in that time, because I hadn't felt like that in years,and I miss it, terribly...but from the waist down, Griffin is now a different player, and from the neck up, he apparently hasn't changed. As far as I'm concerned, that story's been written, and I've closed that book. The article below sealed the deal for me, once and for all.
It isn't just a good read, it's a great read:

The wheels that Griffin had, that could have bought him time with a Coaching Staff to learn the nuances of pocket passing are gone, and apparently he's not much of a student of the game, to boot. It's on Griffin that his study habits weren't up to snuff between 2012 and 2013. I never had a problem with the Shanahan's, and so far, I don't have a problem with Gruden. It's always been about Snyder and Griffin. It's a shame, but it is what it is, and I've cut bait.
Cousins ultimately may not be the answer, but for me, that's what remains to be seen, I'm already resolved that Griffin is not.
Bring on the Season, already! HTTR!!!
I'm definitely down for some beers.Griffin is 25 years old. It’s crazy to think he’s not going to have the chance for a good second act in the NFL, just three years removed from being the offensive rookie of the year.
I agree that not every bad, or at least controversial, decision can be blamed on Snyder. But the way this info has been reported seems to make it pretty clear that this decision came from the top."Any decision I disagree with must have been forced by Snyder."

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/13587791/washington-redskins-keep-robert-griffin-iii-backup-qbETA: That's one. Schefter's tweet said everyone "in the building" wasn't happy about it. I could have sworn I saw a Keim tweet or post that said there was disagreement between ownership and coaches/football people (can't remember the exact term he used, and I haven't found the reference again) regarding the decision to keep Griffin.Link?I agree that not every bad, or at least controversial, decision can be blamed on Snyder.

High-ranking Washington Redskins front-office officials and coaches want to part ways with quarterback Robert Griffin III, but are meeting resistance from team ownership, according to team and league sources.
Put your name on it or GTFO. "Team and league sources" don't do it for me. If Snyder was going to step in it would have been real easy for them to stick with the plan as it has been since February. Start Griffin. Let him sink or swim. Doesn't make sense for him to put his foot down about just a roster spot.This may be what I'm remembering. It's from the Russini/Schefter report from last weekend.

Yea im at the point where i basically tune out most things that come from un named sources. Mostly because 75% of it is nonsense. If we tune it out maybe the media will stop with the BS stories?Put your name on it or GTFO. "Team and league sources" don't do it for me.

He still hasn't passed concussion protocols yet.Of course it's Snyder. Lol
Yep, and then there was a subsequent 'report' that said that the entire organization was on board with the decision to get rid of griffin. Grain of salt..'This may be what I'm remembering. It's from the Russini/Schefter report from last weekend.

Its not about Snyder's $16 million, not about the cash. Its about that cap hit, that's huge and would screw us over big time.Everyone is so damn hung up on Snyder's 16 million. Let it go. It's not your money.

Is there any other conceivable explanation?"Any decision I disagree with must have been forced by Snyder."
I hope that happens. Or literally any out-of-division trade.If I'm not mistaken, Griffin is going to be examined by the independent neurologist tomorrow. I'm willing to bet that if he clears concussion protocols, he's going to be released.
No one has made a big deal about how Griffin was re-evaluated last week and DID NOT PASS. I think big red flags go up if Griffin is not cleared to play this week.nittanylion said:If I'm not mistaken, Griffin is going to be examined by the independent neurologist tomorrow.

I drafted Jones and Cousins as fliers in the last rounds of my redraft league. I think with Cousins at QB, the yards will be there. Not sure how much scoring they will do.SaintsInDome2006 said:Jackson, Garcon, Reed, Morris, Jones... all draftable: for such an allegedly bad teams there seems to be a lot of FF potential.
Jones sounds like a real threat this year?I am not bullish on Garcon due to lack of receptions. I am not big on Morris due to Jones taking carries away and vulturing TDs.
Personally I don't think we have the QB of the future on this squad, then again I did not stay in a Holiday Inn last night. Hope Kirk proves me wrong.Anyone think Cousins is going to take us to a title?
We aren't winning anything this year and even if RG3 plays the first half of the season there is still time to look at Cousins if that's what we need to do.
John Keim is the best one to followWho are the beat reporters for Waahington? Trying to get a read on who is taking 1st team reps with Reed not practicing.
