    Washington Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan said Wednesday he will be open-minded about the possibility that the quarterback the team will draft in April, either Robert Griffin III or Andrew Luck, will be the club’s starter at the outset of his rookie season according to Mark Maske of the Washington Post. But that’s not a given, according to Shanahan, who said the issue of whether the prized rookie starts immediately will depend on the young quarterback’s progress during the offseason and training camp. “You put him in there when you feel like he’s ready to go,†Shanahan said at the NFC coaches’ breakfast at the annual league meeting. “You get someone you feel like can be a franchise quarterback for years to come, that doesn’t happen very often. . . . To have that guy — they’re hard to find,†Shanahan said.

    You mortgaged your future for RG3. Are you going to have him "learn" from Rex Grossman?

    I would assume no less but I would be rolling in laughter if Rexy was opening day starter
