If Cousins was worth a 2nd someone would have traded for him already.

Cousins has always been inconsistent, running hot and cold. If Reiss only saw him when he was hot then he did not witness the whole story.

It is echoed again in Peter King's Monday Morning QB article.

For the lazy:

Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston isn’t just good on the Patriots. He’s strong on the ancillary things. Such as this, after the Patriots’ trip to Richmond: “One of my biggest takeaways from Patriots-Redskins joint practices was surprise that Robert Griffin III didn’t look like the best quarterback on his own team. In fact, I thought Kirk Cousins was better than him, from the perspective of running the offense, fine-tuned mechanics and how decisively the ball came out of his hand. I wondered if I was alone, and then heard the same sentiment echoed by some others in the Patriots organization.”

To me, Cousins is worth a second-round pick from a quarterback-needy team.
This is just typical media repeating media to make it fact. Peter King didn't add new insight, only quoting what Reiss put out there, which Breer did a nice job summing up in his article.

I like Cousins, but his first pass of the game also should have been an interception, hit the defender in stride in his hands, and our guy was double covered.

Cool write up and good to see the RVA getting some respect with Skins camp. I hope this becomes a customary routine with the joint practices in Richmond, it was nothing but a positive.

Its funny to me how the focus of the writes up was about QB and receivers, and little mention about the fact our 1st team Oline and Dline handled the Pats teams and our running game was stronger the entire joint practices. And then as in the practices, it translated into the game Thursday.

To suggest Cousins is better than rg3 is just media trolling for shit...watch the last four games from last year son.

He definitely has a history of forcing throws like that on occasion.

Isn't Cousins performing well in practice a good thing? Why is it that so many fans get so butthurt about RG3 being criticized? To me that means if RG3 doesn't play well we have one, maybe two guys that can step in and perform. Gruden has already said that RG3 "is a work in progress" so it's not shocking that people from the Pats are saying this. In the end who cares? It's a pre season practice where some players may be off a bit. To be fair to Griffin, these obviously were not live practices so his playmaking ability isn't going to show. Is it possible to get to week one before we start the QB controversy? lol.

There is no controversy.

There is no controversy.

Right now, I would agree with that.

I am not so worried about KC taking over RGIII. What I am worried about is if RGIII is going to get to the elite level; in order to justify that trade we made RGII has to be elite. If all he pans out to be is a average hate to say it folks but STL won that trade.

Right on. Well said. Same here.
