Griffin Out For Undetermined Time, It's Cousins Time

Thanks for the contract clarification.

The downside of trading KC too soon is that you completely hitch your wagon to what is a damaged and apparently injury prone horse.

For once me and Irish agree. If we trade Cousins away next year finding a replacement backup has to be a top priority. I'm definitely not willing to bet on Griffin having an injury free future after this one.

I think we need to revisit this convo after Kirk has played in a few more games.

And, no, Smoot, you're not the only one who saw RGIII playing well before he got hurt. I saw it, my wife saw it (before she fell asleep on the couch, lol!)

In the end, whatever and whoever gets us to another Super Bowl championship is who I'll roll with. If it's RGIII, Kirk Cousins, or Stone Cold Steve Austin, that's who I'll pull for. Team first!

But for the record, if we do compare RGIII to Joe Theismann, Doug Williams, and Mark Rypien in their primes, RGIII is probably still head and shoulders over in terms of athletic ability and ceiling height.

What did your wife watch 5 minutes then fall asleep?

Minimal to none.


I would think a franchise QB would have more value than minimal to none. I bet when the season is all said and done Cousins would have more trading value than RG3 and the smart folks at Redskins park will be apt to trade Cousins instead of cutting their losses with RG3.

Commitment bias (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commitment_bias) is a hell of a drug.

I want a poster for a movie called The Shadow. A Wide Shot of RG3 looking down like the picture below with a shadow in the shape of Kirk Cousins.

Sometimes.....a starter......is only as good as his backup......

Staring James Gandolfini as RG3 and Michael Cera as Kirk Cousins. Why....Why Not?

For starters one of them is dead. :Smoker:

The Seahawks are a nice team.

At this point RG is not a franchise QB.

Yeah I don't follow. I guess I can't blame you though. You're not a gennus like me.

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.

If KC can do what he did against the Jax, against a quality team, I'm all for it. I'm just holding on to see how KC does against a competent team that gameplans against him.
