NFL: NFL Offseason Thread

[Dandy]

@AdamSchefter: Jay Gruden has named Kirk Cousins the starting QB for the entire season. So there's that.

What a cluster in DC. I don't necessarily think RGIII can ever be an elite NFL QB, but that organization offers zero stability and it's almost like all the moves they've made the last two years run counter to what Griffin can still do well when he's healthy - get outside the pocket and make plays on the run. It'll be interesting to see if Griffin now tries to force his way out or if they decide to just cut him and move on.

The perfect storm is brewing in DC where I could see the starting QB, the head coach, and GM all get let go at the end of the season. The R-words are pretty much in rebuild mode and the season hasn't even started yet.
