Kirk Cousins Named Redskins Starting QB Over RG3
Amidst trade rumors, injuries, and bad quality Cousins has nabbed the starting job somewhat by default.
“It’s Kirk’s team”, Gruden said in a press conference announcing that Kirk Cousins will be the newest starting quarterback for the Redskins. “Even though he was the backup, he has still approached it like he was the starter”.
“I have nothing against Robert”, Gruden said.
Robert Griffin III blamed a “like” coming from his Instagram account of a statement made by a Washington Redskins fan that was critical of the organization and owner Dan Snyder.
“I think all three quarterbacks should be commended for their efforts, their willingness to get better”, Gruden said August 31 after practice at Redskins Park.
Some high-ranking officials & coaches felt like they needed to separate from Griffin who was sidelined with symptoms of concussion but were facing resistance from the owners, the team & the league. Gruden remarked “It’s Kirk’s team…”
QB Robert Griffin III will start the season on the bench, per reports. He may be close to untradeable thanks to the front office picking up a 2016 option that will pay him $16.12 million.
Griffin said he did not understand whether he was injured on his final play against Detroit, he dropped the ball and was hit as he attempted to recover the fumble when.
Griffin was unavailable for the game via the league’s concussion protocol. “[But] Kirk has been here long enough and everyone understands the dynamic Robert brings”.
We now return you to your normal weirdness there. “We’re not anxious about that”. That’s always been one of Griffin’s pet projects, given his Army family background. During his previous benchings, Griffin kept a low profile.
“Nobody has told me anything like that”, ESPN quoted Cousins as saying. This was after Griffin finished with three pretty good games to end the 2014 season and was starting to look healthy once again, despite his team missing the playoffs. I marveled at that. He opened each of his first three seasons as a starter.
