A lot has been made this week about Jay Gruden choosing to start second year running back Derrius Guice over future Hall of Famer and 2018 Redskins team MVP Adrian Peterson. When the news broke that Jay’s offense would run through Guice, some fans were ecstatic, while others felt AP deserved the right to start based on his past accomplishments.
The fact is, the best guys should play. If the coaches feel Guice gives this team the best chance to win, then fans should support the decision.
In the past, we have seen some questionable coaching decisions from this team regarding former players who maybe should not have been on the field over other more promising players.
