We really don't need Kirk to get that much better... We need him to be more consistent and not turn the ball over... All we need him to do is play like he played last Sunday, and we will win football games... To bank on RGIII being healthy enough to reach is potential is foolish at best... And to trade Cousins? Simply absurd...
I really don't know how we can speculate on how much better or not he needs to be, when we really dint know yet how good he is.

Griffin wouldn't be the first guy to have injuries early on in his career, only to go on to have a good career. Just saying.
I'm not giving up on him either, I'm just trying to be realistic... There is a decent possibility RGIII will never be the QB we drafted him to be, through no fault of his own... To me it looks like the FO will have a decision to make after this year between Cousins and RGIII... I can't fathom how they can keep them both... But who knows, maybe they can and this thing will ride out another year...

Which great Qb had two season ending injuries in his first 2 & 2/16th seasons? Just curious who that might be. I am not trying being a smart ass.

I remember when Loins fans got up in arms when Stafford got repeatedly hurt early in his career. Megatron, for one, is happy that the Loins did not give up on Stafford.

We could very well be a poor man's Seattle for the rest of the season: a top 5 running game, a top 10 defense, and not ask our QB to do much.
That's what I'm thinking. And that recipe could land us in the playoffs.

Brees had major shoulder issues early in his career. I believe the perceived injury risk was the reason why Miami chose Culpepper back when Brees was a FA.

You can see by how they called the game and by the comments of Gruden, they're not going to sit back and ask KC to not do much. If anything, the game plan will be more aggressive.

Good example.

Good example.
Brees was a rookie in 2001 and hurt his shoulder in 2005. Not quite the same.

Phil Simms had significant injury issues his first 4-5 years in the league.
