How to destroy the QB room, part 41

[mraynrand]

No shit, eh? What a mess.

McCoy and Cousins are known quantities, and are as replaceable as piston rings. Don't need to play them to 'figure it out.' 'Skins are out of the playoffs (realistically, if not mathematically). Let RGIII play the rest of the season and figure out if he can be the guy. Make changes in the off season. There are a lot of stupid people in the NFL.

From the reports it seems that if Colt McCoy performs well he'll play out the string this season.

If I was making the decision I'd run the rest of the way this season with RG III, if he is still seriously considered the "Franchise QB". So what has changed?

The Skins organization seems to be folding up on RG III given that the Skins season is essentially over in terms of any likelihood of the playoffs.

I believe the problem lies with RG III's team mates. Their disgruntled with the decision that was made to abort on Colt McCoy after he led the team to two straight wins. To return the ball to RG III after their Bye Week and that result....two straight loss's by an accumulated score of 44-20 home to Tampa Bay and on the road in San Fran.

So maybe in a late night meeting the axe fell on RG III.

Then there's this in your face. Check the video.

QB carousel is a great way to lose a team.

DT will toss him around"

Seems that is what the Jets are doing, word is now that despite Vick being ready to go, Geno will be starting.

Coaching staff's opinion be dammed. Article implies this comes from the top, so Johnson I guess? If that isn't writing on the wall for Rex Ryan, I don't know what is. I'm sure the co-ordinators over there are polishing their resumes. It's a day late, but can I recommend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Westhoff ? Y'know, after Slocum gets fired.

Mike Westhoff has a long resume of ST success. He retired from the NY Jets organization following the 2012 season.

Maybe he's seriously retired.

On Jan. 10 2015 Mike Westhoff will turn 67 years of age.

Oops, my mistake. Google gave me him as the first hit, I didn't read far enough down to see 'former'

Dude's 67. Lots of tread left on those tires!
