There was a lot of discussion among Vikes fans about Griffin and McCoy-who they thought they might face, and who they would rather face.

Jay Gruden says that RG3 is "very, very, very close" to being ready to start, which means he'll probably start Sunday vs. the Vikes. IMO
that's better for us than McCoy starting. RG3 hasn't played since week 2 and is likely rusty. McCoy is coming off a road win vs. Dallas and
looked very competent under center. I'd rather we face the rusty, can-only-beat-us-by-running QB.
I think Gruden would be making a mistake by benching McCoy, but it might be interesting to see how Zimmer game plans for a running QB as we
haven't faced one yet this season.

RG3. They gave away a gold mine for him. They need to know without a doubt if he is a franchise guy or not and the only way to do that is
continually play him.

I like McCoy, I'm a Texas homer though. That said, RGIII is very close to being out of the league if he cannot stay healthy. So I'd run with
McCoy and RGIII should hope they run with McCoy to save him against our STUD DEFENSE!

Yes if all they care about is a win this week then McCoy would be a better option. But if they are looking long term, which is what they
should be doing, they need to play RG3. A player who is hurt all the time isn't worth having a roster spot. Being a franchise QB you have to
prove to stay healthy. That is part of the deal too. So again I go back to my original post in that long term thinking then they need to start
RG3.

Both. Start RG3 and when he gets injured bring in Pony McBoy.

I still think rg3 is the better qb so I'd rather see mccoy

Yeah id rather see McCoy too..If I remember right RG3 was pretty much the reason why the Skins beat us a few years ago and even though McCoy
played decent last night he is still a 3rd stringer almost out of the league QB for a reason.
I'd rather take my chances on a meh QB like McCoy instead of dealing with a talented QB like Griff even with a rusty sore ankle.

Interesting assessment of the likelihood RG3 gets a win Sunday:
"Griffin needs to pull the plug on any talk of McCoy keeping the job by coming back and playing well. It
