Redskins coach Jay Gruden declared Robert Griffin III his starting quarterback on Thursday.
"Robert Griffin III is the starter," Gruden said in a radio interview. "There will be no competition." Kirk Cousins' poor play down the stretch made that obvious, but it would have been a controversy in Washington had Gruden not showered praise on his quarterback. 100 percent healthy with a full offseason to pick up the nuances of his new offense, RGIII is a major bounce-back candidate for 2014. He's going to be throwing a lot in Gruden's West Coast system, and though his designed runs will be curtailed, it's not as if Griffin will never leave the pocket.
Kirk took over a 3 win team with a lame duck coach with 3 games to go. he played pretty well under the circumstances. don't be throwing dirt on the kid just to state the obvious with RG3 being the starter.
with a full off season to work with and a QB/offensive minded coach, RG3 will be fine. i think the real question is the blocking scheme for Morris. how will he be effected by the change of offenses?
