Jay Gruden says Redskins going all in on ‘Win Now’ mentality

It seems a bit obvious to say, but Redskins coach Jay Gruden confirmed on Tuesday that whomever the Washington QB may be, they are expected to win now.

While you may think that fact doesn’t need to be stated, the Redskins are coming off of a year where they were forced to use four quarterbacks, and tanking was definitely an option on the table.

As it stands, though, the Redskins are putting all of their chips in the middle of the table, and hoping that one of their (potentially) three rostered quarterbacks can get the job done.

“There is no developmental process here. This is not Triple-A baseball where we’re trying to develop a pitcher here,” Gruden told Redskins.com. “We’re trying to win a game right now. If we feel like we draft a quarterback in the first, second, third or seventh round and he’s going to start Day 1, we expect great things from him and the players will expect great things from him.”

With Alex Smith on the IR recovering from a broken leg, Colt McCoy and Case Keenum are the only two QBs on the Washington roster. Gruden confirmed on Tuesday that the Redskins plan to add one more QB to the depth chart this offseason, be it through free agency for the NFL Draft.
