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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
