Why would the owner of the TEAM show up to personally fire a groundsman or book keeper?? That’s like the CEO of McDonald’s showing up to fire a store manager.

Upon buying the Redskins Snyder fired all the long time employees (bookkeepers, groundsmen etc.) at Redskin Park-WITHOUT EVER MEETING THEM! Employees with 20 years service were discarded like trash.

These meaningless, little people meant jacks— to the Lord Snyder. He showed the world what a BIG MAN he is.

Thus the Curse began and will continue evermore.

1. Beck
2. Grossman
3. I think Donovan has a great future ahead of him
4. Cousins
5. Jonathan Crompton
6. Robert Griffin III

I believe in ,

Shanahan told reporters on Friday, per the Associated Press.

I believe in him.
And I’ve been doing this for a long time.
And I put my reputation on this, that guy can play.

Not sure if you are aware of this but Beck was a Cameron/Spilleman pick.

I am sure it was the beer that was talking.

He’s a really awesomely nice guy and all of DC was pulling for him to get a chance before the start of last season. All of DC was begging to see him play when Rex Grossman started throwing more than two picks a game. But then, unfortunately, we did see him play. Three games. As much as I like him as a guy, those performances were just brutal to watch. He just had no idea what to do once he got the snap.

I hope he finds whatever it is that he is supposed to do in life … other than playing as an NFL quarterback. Great guy … but this probably just isn’t meant for him. Something else is.

Every QB who starts for the redskins ends up a failure. After awhile you DC fans may start asking the reason why.

I like the Cousins pick. Young guy, with good potential. Maybe another Matt Flynn. Develop him, let him show off a few games, and trade him for a 1 or 2 in 2015. Great pick Bruce.

Dallas drafted John Beck? I ask because Randy Meueller was the fins GM when he was drafted.

Haters gonna hate I guess…

….plus the Colts followed suit by drafting Harnish in the 7th rd to backup Andrew Luck. It’s not a foreign concept to have 2 rookie QB’s.

I don’t like the Cousins pick because it means the coaches are gonna to have to coach up two guys in training camp, film study, drills etc. They should have just kept Grossman and Beck to help guide RGIII this year, then draft a backup next year or the year after.
——————————————–
That sort of thinking is what got Bill Polian fired. The owner could not understand how the team was not better prepared at backup QB.

I was beginning to wonder how many college level QB’s one team needed.

Nobody should feel sorry for Grossman. He’s made millions of dollars in his career by being mediocre. How many jobs are there where you can do that?

The end of the John Beck era is upon us…..alas…..

Anyhow, I’m thrilled with the draft thus far For Washington. They’ve adressed QB and O-Line, which is exaclty what they needed. Maybe they overpaid for RG3, maybe not. Time will tell, but I think Cousins is a good pick at a good spot, in case the naysayers are right. Why another RB, I don’t know….but otherwise I’m good with every pick

Wait a second!!! I thought everyone said the Redskins traded away all their picks for RGIII??? Who knew they had 8 more draft picks this year? Am glad they got rid of the delusional Beck, why would they want a guy around that didn’t know their role. Grossman understands why he is there, to teach RGIII the playbook and maybe what not to do. If he does it well then who knows maybe he will be around for a while. In the meantime I am happy with the draft, would have liked to draft a corner but am glad they got some OL help.

Can’t wait for RG3 to show up at the superdome. He’s toast!

He probably didn’t get enough reps (if you don’t get this… youtube search ‘Beck drinking game’)

What a stupid waste of a draft pick. Even picking a punter IS NOT THAT STUPID!

Beck says he’s sure the Redskins will bring him back before training camp to compete for the starting job with RGIII.

Grossman to mentor? Please. He’s going to be miserable. 2 rookies in QB meetings all year, as a backup? Barf. He’s going to be the #2 guy because no chance they’re throwing Cousins in there when RGIII is injured.
