OT: OT: Washington Redskins 2018 Season Vol. 4: Half and Half (7-7)

[Ridley Simon]

I don't see how any of those guys are better than McCoy.

They arent. But the team needs a back-up to the back-up. Cant go into games with just one QB

I don't see how any of those guys are better than McCoy.

None of them are but, right now, McCoy is the only QB on the roster that doesn't have a broken leg. The Skins need another QB.

Sign Kaepernick you fools

The Redskins organization couldn't handle the circus Kaepernick would bring to town. No thanks.

I think the circus aspect is wholly overblown and whatever distraction he would potentially end up being the difference between Kaepernick and Manuel/Yates/Johnson/Sanchez is enormous. For a team looking to make the playoffs with an injury-prone Colt McCoy now the starter, they really ought to do all they can to shore up the backup QB position instead of dumpster diving.

With you 1000%. Kaep is still (or was) a good QB. He’d be a very valuable guy for this team, IMO. And could also play down the line while they drafted and groomed “the next guy”. It’s really stupid that he isn’t getting a look. Really really stupid.

 

[John Price]

Kaep isn't playing because of his stances but rather because he isn't any good. That's what I think IMO.

They signed Mark Sanchez anyway as the backup.

Bruce Allen on record saying he wouldn’t sign that guy.

Time to let that candle go Twabby.

It’s not that he’s awful. It’s that what he brings lately in the press outweighs the benefit he brings on the field.

As Hog says below, how long until he’s up to speed and even worth playing? He needs to get on a team in the summer.

Ok, forget about the circus angle, despite it being more than relevant, Kaepernick hasn't been apart of a NFL organization in a year and a half. He has also never played in Gruden's system. So what sense would it make to sign Kaepernick to serve as a back up for a game 3 days away?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I’m ok with that....he’s a known commodity.

Still good? No.

But he can probably play in the league even if somewhat pedestrian IMO.

His Years of good are long gone IMO, and that’s why he’s not playing today.

That's what I've been trying to tell you. His time with the Niners was awful and he was benched multiple times. He regressed heavily since his SB appearance. He just can't play football.

I don’t buy that. He’s been blackballed. It’s fine that you see it your way. I can see it mine.

Again, not buying that. I live in SF, so I saw him a lot. He had some bad years (maybe 2), but his last season was good. On a terrible team. He was not the problem. At all. The team was total garbage.

The Niners didnt want to deal with the PR problems he created. Plain and simple. Same with the rest of the league now. Chicken shit, really.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Ugh. He's terrible. Ah well.

McCoy or BUST!

It's not as if Gruden's system is that hard to learn. It's West Coast Offense. Dink and dunk passes and the odd long ball. It shouldn't be that hard for any QB to pick up on.

As for Kaepernick, the physical attributes are still there. The question would be is if he'd be mentally prepared to step into a situation like Washington. It's not just the football side of things, it's the political. Not only that, but you've got the team itself, which can be a sideshow, especially with Snyder and Allen.

The only good thing to come from the Smith injury is that now Allen and company will be forced to look at a good quarterback prospect this draft and get started on the grooming process.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I don’t buy that. He’s been blackballed. It’s fine that you see it your way. I can see it mine.

Oh he’s blackballed no doubt, but if he was still “good” at QB, he’d still be a starter.

 

[kicksavedave]

Yeah yeah, connections and all that, but did those guys not see this play?

We just signed the author of the "Butt Fumble".

 

[EYEuhFRAYtee]

Welcome to DC Mr. Sanchise.

 

[g00n]

Yusss, buttfumble!

I knew they'd hire someone they knew from previous gigs. Just didn't think about the NYJ connection with Sanchez. Wondered why he was invited. Now I know.

I liked “ass tackle”....lol...

This is the tire fire signing that this franchise deserves

This is a bit over dramatic isn't it?
