T master Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 With all of the talk here about weather or not EJ is the guy of the future & if we should pick up another QB if one falls in our lap there is one coach that seems to think along those lines . He references the Redskins to their 2 QB draft a couple of years back which didn't hurt them & may have helped them in some instances when RG3 went down, which happened to EJ last year & has the possibility in a game such as football which as they say any back up is one play away from being a starter . http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000336603/article/mike-pettine-cleveland-browns-might-draft-two-qbs It just so happens this is also the forward thinking that put our D on the map . And i for one will say i think this year will be a coming out party for this team !! Enjoy the read ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Pettine will prove to be a better head coach than Marrone methinks. Impossible to know...huge difference between running a defense and being in charge of all aspects of a team. Some people adjust well to getting others to do instead of them doing all the time and some don't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimer1960 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yeah and how'd that work out for the Redskins? I didn't see any QB Needy teams lining up to trade a high pick for Cousins and RG 3 didn't play very well last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Pettine will prove to be a better head coach than Marrone methinks. I don't know. They both have an uphill battle from where the franchises they are working for. Neither has a top 20 QB (as far as we know), franchieses have historically lost, and their competition still has them beat. I don't like either of their chances really. but only time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a vast difference between Scenario 1: drafting one QB in the first one season, then drafting a QB high in a subsequent year and Scenario 2: drafting two QBs in one year, separated by three rounds. Scenario 2 sets up a dynamic where the first QB selected is likely to be the starter. Scenario 1 exists solely to challenge the first QB picked or to succeed an older one, and has been a very, very rare scenario in the NFL. What has drafting Cousins and RGIII done for the Redskins that everyone should use that as the model? I mean, their coach got fired. That's a start, right?

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Great story, but it's important to consider all chapters in a book before predicting the outcome. For instance the story of the Titanic would read like this: Chapter I: They built this really cool boat. Chapter II: They said it could never sink. Chapter III: Lots of people believed them. Chapter IV: They had a really nice time. Chapter V: Leo DiCaprio banged this hot rich girl. Chapter VI: Holy crap they hit an iceberg. Chapter VII: Lots of people died swiftly, yet painfully. The End I have the miracle draft and playoff run of the Shanahan Washington Redskins as Chapters I thru IV, and Shanahan's post Playoff run as head coach as chapters VI and VII.

Pitta Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If not for Griffin's catastrophic injury history the Skins would likely have been in the hunt again this season. Shanahan's fortunes were altered more by his inability to protect his greatest asset than by the decision to draft 2 qb's. For what it's worth I would put Cousins and Manuel on the same level at this point, and Cousins was a day 2 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drop off from RG3 to Cousins is significantly steeper than that from Manuel to Thad, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousins is picked to back up rg3 In case something bad happened, and something bad happened. Thereafter there's plenty of controversy surrounding Shanahan's handling of the situation, including his desire to get rg3 back on the field quite possibly much earlier than he should have been. Taken as a whole, the Shanahan era came to what was a very necessary end I'n a relatively short period of time. I don't wish that upon petine, but this particulary story is a peculiar one to choose to point out a forward thinking coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Cousins isn't very good and Thad is better than him, and EJ was a rookie, sure. But RGIII started 13 games and went 3-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
