More than Fat Albert?

From what the media's saying, it seems like they've just decided to go with the nuclear option for RG3 and to get rid of him ASAP after this year. And Cousins has had enough starts to show he isn't the option either. So it'll either be drafting a new QB or keeping Colt and bringing in another veteran next year probably.

I guess Ted Leonsis paid the Skins to leak the news so that the media won't cover the Wiz's ugly loss last night. So if Bob's gone after this year: 1. Do the Skins draft a QB even though the whole team needs to be rebuilt basically? 2. Where does Bob end up? Philly with Chip?

Yeah, outside of the opening 49ers drive and the stupid Ryan Clark penalty that helped lead to the final TD the Skins defense actually played pretty well. Yeah, the O line really has no one remotely decent with Williams out, but Bob still isn't even a below average pocket QB.

There were plenty of times early on where Bob just did his usual screen passes. If it wasn't for Alf it would have been a whole lot worse.

I think I would be much happier with the Skins losing if it meant that Bob had a horrible day and got pulled.

Neither team wants to win this game.

Just give it to Alf all the time!

Can we just bench Bob already and bring in Colt?

Yeah, Haz, just let your worst safeties in the NFL cover the wide receivers.

Shocker that the Skins have the #1 punter in the NFL.

(Of course, watch them win this week as a tribute to the Mayor For Life)

Well, to be fair, I just stole the term from Fred 'Party Boat' Smoot.

And, hey, Brittle Bob's blaming the media again!

Yeah, but it really doesn't matter as long as Brittle Bob's cozy with Snyder. As long as that relationship exists, Brittle Bob's ego will remain out of control. There are times while watching the Skins play recently that I wish Brittle Bob pulls an Agent Zero, leaving Snyder no choice but to get rid of him.

What they should have done is started with a zone-read while they work on his fundamentals, and then bring in packages based upon how he progresses. Trying to shoehorn him into being a pocket QB on the fly is not going to work. It goes against his skill set. Oh, I agree. But I think both Brittle Bob's ego and his dad's ego made them think after his rookie season that they wanted absolutely no more of the zone read and that he was already good enough to be a pocket QB. It's sort of scary that it's turning out that Shanny might have been right all along.

The funny thing is...as bad as the offensive line is (and will be even worse without Trent Williams), McCoy and Cousins combined have been sacked less this year than Brittle Bob while playing around twice as much. And I don't really know what other weapons the Skins could have gotten this season that would make Brittle Bob better.

The football side of the problem with Brittle Bob (i.e., not his overinflated ego) is that he basically played zone read in college. And it's really too late for him to learn to be a pocket QB at this point. I sort of agree with people who say to just swallow the $3+ million, cut him after this season and move on. I don't think there's going to be some miraculous turnaround where Bob finally starts being a pocket QB. He holds the ball too long, he doesn't go through progressions, he throws bad spirals at time, etc. It'll be interesting to see what the Skins do in the draft. Really, there's probably only 4 or 5 players that are really worth keeping for next year. Everyone else is at most average, with a lot below average to putrid.

I know it's probably out of habit, but is it even remotely useful to do play-action when you're down by 33?

Shocker. Washington fans chant for Colt McCoy

So is it too early to start the offseason thread?

I wish this was Madden and I could swap out every single Skins player for someone better.
