Skins-Jags Positives and Negatives

If the Ravens could win a SB with Trent Dilfer and great D, so can the Redskins with Cousins.

Seattle won a SB with an elite defense and a great running game last year. We can probably win with a great running game and good defense; and a competent QB. Hopefully Cousins can be more than just a competent QB.

Cousins is going to have his ups and downs no doubt. I want to see him succeed, but I'm holding on to see how he does against a team that gameplans against him. I really hope he continues to play as well as he played today.

Honestly, I would have felt in a somewhat similar way had RG3 had played well today since the Jags were so beat up in terms of injuries.

I agree Cousins is no sure thing. He will have some bad days. All Qb's do. But Cousins is no waiver wire pick up either. The guy has some skills. If we do not re-sign him after next season he will be in the NFL.

It's interesting watching the back and forth over Cousins and Griffin.

It's devolved to insulting the one you don't like in an effort to defend the one you do like.

I don't get the level of attachment to the individual players.

Like ss said in the preseason, we have 2 young good qb. You don't have to chose, just support ur team.

More positives to come:

Meriweather returning next week (See ya Rambo)
Philip Thomas, Reed and Djax will be back when they are healthy (2-3 weeks)

I wore my Griffin jersey to work the day of one of the preseason games and someone in the elevator looked at me and goes: "I hate to say it, but I think Cousins is better"

And I looked at him and I said "I don't care who they put out there, I want a team that wins football games"

When everyone in the stadium figured out Griffin was hurt (it took a minute...) it sucked all the energy out of the stadium.

When Cousins threw that pass to DY - it was back.

Sucks for Griffin. I think he has the potential to be an elite quarterback. But he's not going to be the field for a while, if at all the rest of the season. If you must tear one of them down in an effort to defend the other, save it for the offseason when it matters.

Even Griffin gets it. Why can't the fans?

If Cousins plays well and get us a winning record/playoffs appearance, no doubt we have to keep him.

Isn't Phillip Thomas on the practice squad? I don't expect anything out of him, AFAIC he's unproven.

And now that the qb debate will be raging for the rest of the season, let me start by asking are we prepared to move on from RG3 if KC looks good/great for the rest of the year? No doubt if we are winning games it will be a lot easier for people to move on from RG3. But what if he plays average? Do you bring RG3 back as the starter next year? Only situation where I see RG3 coming back as the starter next year is if KC plays himself out of starting consideration this year.

Phillip Thomas intrigues me, sort of like Silas Redd, Niles Paul and Cousins did before today. If this guy can stay healthy for a while, I think he could be a starter and a decent one.
Silas Redd was standing right next to Alfred Morris on the sideline today after Morris' TD, twins. They are built exactly the same. Redd runs with the same type of strength and determination as well. I hope he continues to develop. Redd needs to see some more carries.

Trenton Robinson looked good today...

I know it was just the jaguars, but Meriweather is a scum bag and always a hit away from being suspended again. Why do we continue to pay this guy and give him the starting reps? Let someone else get better and become an actual option for us at safety...

Rambo sucks. I called that shit last preseason. He's just too dumb to play at this level.
