Skins-Jags Positives and Negatives

My two cents: the last time RGIII was healthy, he was an elite QB and one of the best we've ever had. Then there was last year, when he was no where near healthy, the head coach and O-Coordinator seemed as concerned with undermining RG as they were with winning. And the defense couldn't stop a pop warner team. I'm confused that there are so many people willing to discard him in the hopes that the backup is the next Montana. There's one thing every annoying fan of every team believes: the backup QB has Hall of Fame talent. So that said, as far as the positives and negatives of this week, I only have one thing:
Negative: RGIII getting injured.
Really isn't about Griffin anymore. You can't build a team around a glass slipper. At this point Cousins is the only answer. Griffen was a flash in the pan; sucks but that seems to be his identity.

I agree 100% Coff.

Biggest thing today was losing RG III. Yeah Rambo blew a play but other than that we pretty much rocked all day.

All I want is for RG III and the Redskins to be successful. I hope he gets an opportunity to do that next year...

Don’t pick up Redskins QB Kirk Cousins on waiver wire to replace RGIII - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp/2014/09/14/dont-pick-up-redskins-qb-kirk-cousins-on-waiver-wire-to-replace-rgiii/)

I hate to say it but we are back to square one trying to find a franchise QB

Nice to sit back and enjoy a blowout for once, streak ended in style.
Wow....how much did we need that?
This NFL stuff can be fun. I had just forgotten how much

Crazy. I think Hatcher has been the big difference maker so far. Having that inside push just makes the whole thing go.

It certainly seems that way. Getting pressure from our d-lineman is something we're not really accustomed to. I don't remember any sacks last year when we didn't send some kind of blitz. Today the pressure was constant. Of course, the Jags suck, so our optimism should be probably be tempered.

"The backup" as you call him, is not some nobody that just came to light. Steve Marriucci, a respected football mind and excellent evaluator of Qb's was raving about Cousin's on the NFL Network post game. In fact the entire 4 man crew agreed that Cousin's was playing better then RGIII. Several Patriot players and coaches said Cousins is the better QB at this time when both teams met for practices then the preseason game. Cousins is no daisy.

That is based off of last years team. Not this team. Terrible article.

I guess you are not a Cousins believer? I think Kirk is our future if he keeps playing like today and RGIII is done for the year.

I really don't care who the QB is if we're winning. I think there's a good chance Cousins can lead the way. We've got weapons and the D has looked solid.
