Of all active quarterbacks with at least 20 starts, Colt McCoy has the third-lowest winning percentage. McCoy hasn't started a game since Week 14 of 2011 when he was with the Browns.

McCoy came in for struggling Kirk Cousins last game and completed 11 of 12 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown, driving the Redskins for the last-second, game-winning field goal.

RG3 is expected back soon

Redskins coach Jay Gruden told reporters today that McCoy -- fresh off his successful relief performance in the second half of Sunday's win against the Tennessee Titans -- will get the start against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football

"Moving forward for the Cowboys, we're going to start with Colt. Kirk's gonna get the reps that he gets and he'll be ready to go in if need be. But Colt will be the starter, I'm planning on Monday night."

Colt McCoy will become the 29th starting QB for the Redskins in the last 29 years since Joe Theismann

(Theismann is one of only 37 players to be inducted into the Redskins Ring of Fame, he was the Redskins starting QB from 1978-1985, the 1983 NFL MVP, threw for 2 TDs in the Redskins 27-17 upset of Don Shula's Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII, etc)

Jay Gruden on Colt McCoy:

“He has got the intangibles to be a good quarterback. ... I’ve always liked his demeanor. ... He is very poised. He is a great competitor. I feel like he is going to get us in the right play and make the right throw. ... He will have a great opportunity Monday night, that’s for sure.”

from a Redskins forum:

I still like Cousins compared to Colt McCoy. I don't think the skins will win either way, so at least he's amusing and will throw the ball downfield with reckless abandon. Plus his performances make this board hilarious to read.

Colts got the arm of chad Pennington, may very well have subterranean hamster blood in his ancestry, and lacks moxie. Plus his professed Christianity makes him a target for satan.

Not a fan.

Sports Illustrated:

Even if Robert Griffin III is healthy enough to rejoin the lineup this week, I'm begging you, Redskins, let Colt McCoy make the start in Dallas. This franchise has not enjoyed many feel-good stories over the past few seasons. McCoy, a star at the University of Texas, taking his shot on Monday night in Texas would qualify as one.

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
