Griffin Out For Undetermined Time, It's Cousins Time

Question, Do you think Cousins:

1) Has hit his ceiling

2) Can improve in a new system and coaching

3) Lead the team to keep the Skins within playoff contention

Hit his ceiling? WTF? The guy has started 4 games. Who the hell hits their ceiling after 4 career starts? He can and most likely will get better.

All he really needs to fix is the interceptions, something Andrew Luck is still struggling with after 33 starts. Romo and Eli are still struggling with that for crying out loud. If he does that, he can be a very productive QB for a very long time. I think his ceiling is in the Dalton, Cutler, Wilson range.

44, it's a legit question. The ceiling option is valid since no one traded for him this offseason. It's based on perceived opinion from other organization who need qb. I'll put u down for option 2

I love what Cousins brings - good pocket presence, reads the field well, uses his eyes to look off defenders, above average accuracy. to me it looks like he has a slightly weak arm and twill occasionally try to put some "ummph" on the ball and lose some accuracy.

but that is what cousins is. at best - decent starter. at worst - good backup.

this is RG3's team. period in my book. If RG3 didnt get injured, i think it is still a blow out.

RG3 can lead you to a Superbowl, cousins can get you to .500.

i just wish we could morph them into 1 player. they are so ying-yang to me. but RG3 is the incredible athlete, RG3 is the game breaker .... freaking injuries can derail a legend in the making thoo .....

I caught my **** in my zipper once. It hurt so bad I almost cried but it didn't keep me out of action for long.

Sorry for your shortness :)

I want to see Kirk minimize the turnovers. That's the only knock on him. For a guy who's only started 4 games, he looks awesome at times. If he can show that he can protect the ball better, he should at least prove he can be an effective starter in this league.

And I think it's entirely realistic to think a young player with only 4 starts under his belt can get better at ball security. I think before the end of the season, he'll also demonstrate the ability to call out protections and make changes at the line of scrimmage.

Good luck with that.

IMO Kirk is like Grossman and Favre: one of his best qualities is his aggression. And one of his worst qualities is his aggression. And because aggression got him where he is, that problematic aggression is not going away.

Also, please note that while Kirk may have only 4 starts, he is in his third year. It's not like he's had no time to develop like Aaron Rodgers did.

Cousins will play well enough to get us the trade value for him next offseason we were looking for this offseason

I'm not buying this trading KC anymore. Especially if he comes in and plays like he did Sunday.

Cousins has a unique talent for playing well enough to help the team avoid a meltdown, but shaky enough to make it difficult to remove RG3. Still anyone remember the MELTDOWN following the Redskins using a draft pick on Cousins?

[Sorry I had to settle for Stephen 'Don't give him a reason to hit you' A. Smith and Skip 'I swear I'm not a racilist (http://youtu.be/YWWdk-GVZV8?t=15s)' Bayless but I couldn't find original draft footage]

I never disagreed with drafting a second QB there but I did argue against Cousins. I wanted Lindley. And Lindley's stellar career has certainly vindicated my choice. :)

John Beck. But Cousins surely hasn't.

BTW, I don't think Andy Dalton was any better than Cousins at the same stage of their careers. Dalton has improved and so will Cousins.

How much better do you think Cousins can be?

So Griffin will be the QB next year ? How much rehabbing has he done since 2009 ?So in the last 5-6 seasons he has had 3 season ending injury's and yes this ankle is a season ender ,why take the chance ?
