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.

Baltimore and Cleveland in 2012. Late 2013 was a wash, though he looked decent against Atlanta. And now Jax.

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.

I am sick of hearing about how bad he was in those last three games. The games were skewed because of the weather and the horrible receivers on the field, it was a faulty sample. Go watch the games, balls were being dropped and fumble.

Sorry for not reading the first 11 pages but I saw this article and thought it was a good read.

ESPN 980 - WASHINGTON D.C.

It needs to be stated I'm a REDSKINS fan first I don't care who the QB is as long as we WIN.

If this report is correct, RGIII could return in 8 weeks, which is before Thanksgiving.

Robert Griffin III's timetable for return is eight weeks - ESPN

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

I would say that if he comes back after 8 weeks that would put him back in week 11 just after the week 10 bye.

Decisions will have to be made then and as of now there is no way of knowing how this will play out.

As long as Cousins plays well enough to win/keep us competitive I don't see RG3 taking the field for us again this season

Well, we will get a good sample over the next six games. My hope is that KC is playing so well that it's a valid discussion at that point. If we are all begging for Griffin back, well it's probably not been a successful season

If Cousins plays well/keeps us competitive this season, do you think the Skins trade Cousins in the off season or have a competition for a starting position next season?

I don't know. Maybe the latter

His read option runs were successful because the defense was not expecting them. He labored to run them and no way that continues to be work. He gave up a sack for a huge loss.

He did have a long pass that looked good, but as usual he hurt himself without even getting hit.

If Cousins plays good enough to warrant a great trade offer thats reason enough for me to keep him as the starter. I don't see how we could even think to trade Cousins away unless we had another backup in mind for next year.

Nope , and if he does he won't be any good . I like Bob but he dislocated it, he rushed back from the knee injury and look what happen .Let him heal !
