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.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      I have started doing my research on these draft picks and I like this guy. But I'm am iffy on taking a TE in the first if isnt a flat out generational guy more importantly on this team where it's questionable we get the necessary impact out of him. I say if a top defensive guy at their position falls to 19th you jump on it and push this defense to an elite unit. The offense will do their part.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB. but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)
