Code Red or False Alarm?

Hey, Redskins fans! We're a few days shy of the bye week, and you'll never guess what we're all discussing!

From Jay Gruden's status as a Kirk Cousins apologist, to accusations of a racial component to Cousins' job security and Robert Griffin III's treatment, the most common topic of conversation and consternation among Redskins observers is the quarterback position.

Again.

The introduction of the specter of racism is as unsurprising as it is flimsy. But it's a nearly foolproof way to gin up controversy (and all-important CLICKS!!!): Even if there's little-to-no-evidence to support the accusation, the resulting backlash against it will become a story unto itself.
