yeah, i love the fact he is always willing to give his body up for the homerun play but it is a double edged sword.
i view the Kirk Cousins situation as pretty straightforward.
If we dont get a 2nd or a comparative package deal we keep him.
I love that about RG3. If he wants to last he has to play smarter, which I think he did more of last year than his rookie season.

...right into the hands of defenders.
All the great QB's throw them. It's part of playing the position. RG3 sure had his share of awful picks when he only looked at one guy. Collingsworth pointed this out that he never looks at his 2nd and 3rd options. Cousins had his too. I guess you expect young starters not to throw them? lol.

I'm not saying Cousins is Tom Brady. He made his share of mistakes. You also have to remember the game was called a lot different then when RG3 was in there. The play calling was a lot more aggressive so more turnovers are expected. I think as Cousins moves on his career he'll learn to throw more on time. His Ints were not because he's throwing into double coverage, or only looking at one guy. His issues seems to be he throws late and behind, very correctable.
That is coachable too. In fact I would be more concerned with someone throwing it behind receivers consistently than someone who wasn't reading defenses properly in their second season.

Per Adam Schefter via Twitter: "Redskins have no plans nor interest in trading QB Kirk Cousins, per league sources. He's not going anywhere."

Adam Schefter? shannhans hack said this?
Shanny is long gone, and Schefter has plenty of other sources.

How many times did Cousins get sacked in those 3 starts?
5 times if I am not mistaken, but he was hit a lot more than that.

It's all part of the game...the off-field game that is

I figured as much. Cousins will probably be gone before or by draft time.
