Redskins keep four quarterbacks on the roster so far, the question is, why? What is coach Shanahan got under his sleeve? Or is there something we don’t know just yet.

I personally, have never seen four signal callers make a roster but with the offense that the Redskins run in the read option, it appears Pat White will be valuable should RG3 suffer a mysterious setback and not make the start on opening day, although all signs point to him playing. But the door seemed to be left open when coach Shanahan said Friday “still some concerns” those words mean that there is some hidden info we do not know about.

The team now has two running quarterbacks in Robert Griffin and new comer Pat White and two pocket passers in Kirk Cousins and Rex Grossman. No matter what the skins are doing, they are stacked in case the injury bug continues to hit them.
