The Washington Redskins’ long search for a franchise quarterback has finally — they hope — reached a successful conclusion: Robert Griffin III is the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, and he’s the man who will, more than anyone else, determine the Redskins’ immediate future. For Shanahan, who will turn 60 during training camp, Griffin is his last, best chance to accomplish in Washington what he did in Denver, and win a Super Bowl. The Redskins are a very long way from that right now, but the acquisition of Griffin gets them a big step closer.
Can RG III safe Washington? Yes we can!

It was shocking at first and seemed downright illogical, but after further though it makes perfect sense as to why the Washington Redskins drafted Kirk Cousins in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
After trading a three first round picks and a second rounder to acquire the No. 2 overall pick to draft Baylor quarterback and Heisman trophy winner Robert Griffin III, it is clear...

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Washington Redskins had former Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins rated as their third best quarterback going in this past weekend’s draft. This means that he was likely only rated lower than Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III and ahead of Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden, Nick Foles, Russell Wilson, etc.

What the hell is everyone talking about? I usually can see the value in opinion pieces penned by most members of the media. The manufactured crap around the “horrible” and “controversial” nature of Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins joining the Redskins simply baffles me. It started when I read the following SEO headline a few days ago from Ashley Fox’s ESPN...

According to Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports, the Washington Redskins have released wide receiver Jabar Gaffney.
No one knows exactly why Gaffney has been cut. Maybe it’s because of his Twitter rant, or the fact that the Redskins need to give rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III the number 10 that he’s been wearing.
In the end, it doesn’t matter why Gaffney has been released...

Redskins sign free agent linebacker Jonathan Goff
The Washington Redskins have signed free agent linebacker Jonathan Goff, who played three seasons with the New York Giants before missing last year with a knee injury.
Goff was a fifth-round selection by the Giants in 2008. He became a full-time starter in 2010, but he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee shortly before the season opener a year ago and was placed...
Correction: Brandon Bolden
Yesterday I posted that Brandon Bolden signed with the Washington Redskins. I did so in reliance on a post on BleacherReport.com that cited NFL.com as a source. I should have checked the source. This morning, after I couldn't confirm Bolden's signing on any other source or site, I actually visited the NFL.com website (which I should have done before posting, not after) linked...

For the two or three people imagining a RG3 to Gaffney touchdown combo, it appears that your dream has been shattered. The Redskins announced the release of Gaffney this morning, their most productive wide receiver in 2011.
His agent had requested permission to seek a trade prior to the draft and the team granted it, but no match could be made.
Gaffney led the Redskins last season...

Why are people feeling sorry for Kirk Cousins? Why do people think his selection by the Washington Redskins was controversial?
The Redskins thought he was a value in the fourth round so they took him. Cousins may be a backup. Or Robert Griffin III could be a flop. Then Washington has a backup plan in place.
Look no further than 1994, the year Washington drafted both Heath Shuler...
