I just saw this on ESPN's site.........holy crap this could blow up in Snders face........pleasepleasepleaseplease let that happen I hate that piece of shit.

Multiple members of the Washington Redskins organization told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter this week that they believe the decision to go back to quarterback Robert Griffin III and away from Colt McCoy, who had led the team to two straight wins, is an owner- and general manager-driven decision.
Redskins executive Tony Wyllie strongly denied that, telling ESPN it was the "coach [Jay Gruden's] decision, and the owner has nothing to do with it -- scratch that."
Owner Dan Snyder and GM Bruce Allen are strong Griffin supporters and sources tell ESPN they believe the time is right for him to return to the starting lineup.
Griffin's support with players, however, is not as strong as it is with the highest levels of the organization, according to sources.
When Griffin began addressing the media in the locker room on Friday for the first time since dislocating his left ankle in Week 2, about 15 teammates began shouting. It was so loud and distracting, the franchise quarterback -- and reporters -- had to leave the locker room so Griffin could speak someplace where he could be heard. That's when the cheering got even more boisterous.
A source familiar with the incident told ESPN's Britt McHenry that Griffin has "alienated himself" from the locker room.
Griffin, who is making his first start since Week 2 on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, tweeted in the hours before the game.
