Griffin Out For Undetermined Time, It's Cousins Time

Not to take anything away from Cousins, but any QB looks good against backups...well except Manziel.

I guess will find out soon enough, I have faith he will succeed. Cousins has a much better team than he's ever had including a solid D.

You don't trade Cousins at all, unless he totally blows his stint as the starter!!!!!! RG III gets hurt one more time nobody is going to make a deal for him, they will simply wait for him to be released once his contract is up. If they rush Robert in this season, I am willing to bet he goes down again in 2014. And if he goes down again in 2015, his value is nil. You need a guy that can play QB. Do you really want to go through this again, with needing to acquire a new backup as well? My bet is Kirk will do great against our weaker opponents and be exposed somewhat against the better out of division teams in the NFC. Right now though I think with the exception of San Fran the whole conference isn't all that. Seattle didn't look all that great this past Sunday. You need to keep an experienced player regardless. Can't build a winner with dumping all of your QBs with some experience. This saga isn't going to play out til 2015. Skins would be moronic to get rid of Cousins and keep RG III only to see him go down again, and realize they don't have one decent QB that can stay healthy.


If Cousins stinks we keep him sign him for cheap , if he excels we get picks. Cousins is a basic pocket passer, similar to Colt. Pure pocket passers like Ryan have not been doing too good, they throw a lot of picks. There is a lot of football left. Let's see what Cousins does next week.

It's early the media is building Cousins up, just so they can tear him down if things don;t go well. Being a pocket passer against Seattle is hard to do and will tell us a lot about Kirk.

Yup.

It's, on some level, disturbing to listen to it :(

Kirk did what he was supposed to do against a bad team.He's always looked more comfortable in the pocket since those 2 were rookies.He's had 1 good game in relief,he's got to be consistant.
Its way way too early to be talking about a controversy.I sincerely hope there is one by the time RG3 comes back because that would mean Kirk has done well and hopefully we have been winning games.
If Kirk plays like he did last year there is no controversy,you stick Griffin back in there.

Yeah, I agree. Kirk doesn't need to be a hero, he just needs to play up to his abilities on a game-by-game basis. At this point, we don't know if he can do that.

I hadn't thought about it until just now, but this could be Kirk's last chance to become a starting NFL QB in the future. You never know when or even if he might have another chance to prove that he is starter material.

I wish him well.

Sure, 1 good game in relief.

I know about the years past,just meant this year
But since you bring it up Cleveland was another bad team that he beat
Last year he was not very good and he did not win a game
If Jacksonville would have had hpustons pass rush I'm sure that game would have been a different story
Anyway all I was saying is it's way too early to draw any conclusions on Capt. Kirk or this team yet although we should be two and oh with either quarterback

Don't forget:

Cleveland in 2012 was not in relief, he started that game.

In 2012 he came in relief against Atlanta and looked poor.

Griffin is a guy who can make a play when the offensive line gives way. Cousins hasn't shown that. But he can deliver the ball on time with accuracy if given the time to throw. He has more weapons now so in theory they should get open faster, thus taking some of the burden off the offensive line.

If Cousins doesn't get it done I don't think it will be because of him, it will be because our offensive line isn't good enough to support a pocket passing game.

I think he'll do well against Philly, they can't rush the passer. That game will come down to whether our defense can contain the big play.
