Supposedly, according to Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden, the words “we completely stand behind Robert Griffin III as starter” is code for “we’re lying straight through our teeth and totally know you're not buying it, lol”.
But anyone who has been paying attention to the unfolding debacle in Redskins territory could have told you that. Hell, anyone with working eyes and ears with an IQ of -62 could have told you that.
Since the once starting quarterback Griffin was diagnosed with Schrodinger’s Concussion during Week 2 of preseason, (He doesn’t have one! He has one! He has half of one? Look at that shiny thing over there and not at us!) things have been completely upside-down, left-side up, and backwards in D.C.
On Monday, Gruden announced that Kirk Cousins will be the starting quarterback for Week 1. “This is Kirk’s team,” Gruden said. “He’s proven that he’s the best quarterback on our roster at this time.”
According to multiple sources, RGIII has been on the outs with Washington (sans owner Dan Snyder), and it has nothing to do with the fact that the likelihood he gets his head knocked off by a single raindrop is extremely high. He’s on the outs because he’s so damn hated. Many have claimed that Griffin is not a leader and the man can’t even get any of his teammates to stand up and defend him.
It also doesn’t help that Cousins is a pretty crappy QB.
It’s been hard not to look away at the fatal, 89 car pile-up that is Snyder’s reign over the Skins, and it’s about to get worse now that Gruden and general manger Scot McCloughan finally were able to cast aside Snyder’s favorite plaything in place of Cousins.
This should make for a very interesting season. Unless, of course, you’re a Redskins fan.
