Skins-Jags Positives and Negatives

[Coff]

My two cents: the last time RGIII was healthy, he was an elite QB and one of the best we've ever had. Then there was last year, when he was no where near healthy, the head coach and O-Coordinator seemed as concerned with undermining RG as they were with winning. And the defense couldn't stop a pop warner team. I'm confused that there are so many people willing to discard him in the hopes that the backup is the next Montana. There's one thing every annoying fan of every team believes: the backup QB has Hall of Fame talent. So that said, as far as the positives and negatives of this week, I only have one thing:
Negative: RGIII getting injured.

Really isn't about Griffin anymore. You can't build a team around a glass slipper. At this point Cousins is the only answer. Griffen was a flash in the pan; sucks but that seems to be his identity.

I agree 100% Coff.

Biggest thing today was losing RG III. Yeah Rambo blew a play but other than that we pretty much rocked all day.

All I want is for RG III and the Redskins to be successful. I hope he gets an opportunity to do that next year...

All I want is the Redskins to be successful. First and foremost.
I don't care who our QB is or his pedigree.
Just win...
Why for some people it has to be this guy are that guy.
We are in it to win.
Nobody gave Mark Rypien and over the hill Doug Williams a chance before they took over.

If the Ravens could win a SB with Trent Dilfer and great D, so can the Redskins with Cousins.

I think the skins D is improved... That is an extreme exaggeration to compare this D to the 2001 Ravens.

Seattle won a SB with an elite defense and a great running game last year. We can probably win with a great running game and good defense; and a competent QB. Hopefully Cousins can be more than just a competent QB.

This x1000. I want the best QB. Counting the preseason and the last 2 weeks, Captain Kirk is our best option.

That is based off of last years team. Not this team. Terrible article.

Worthless drivel. Totally different team and totally different situation. Any team that got that kind of production from a draft pick making his 5th career start would be doing cartwheels. Let's see what he can do with a full season.

"The backup" as you call him, is not some nobody that just came to light. Steve Marriucci, a respected football mind and excellent evaluator of Qb's was raving about Cousin's on the NFL Network post game. In fact the entire 4 man crew agreed that Cousin's was playing better then RGIII. Several Patriot players and coaches said Cousins is the better QB at this time when both teams met for practices then the preseason game. Cousins is no daisy.

Cousins is going to have his ups and downs no doubt. I want to see him succeed, but I'm holding on to see how he does against a team that gameplans against him. I really hope he continues to play as well as he played today.

Honestly, I would have felt in a somewhat similar way had RG3 had played well today since the Jags were so beat up in terms of injuries.

I agree Cousins is no sure thing. He will have some bad days. All Qb's do. But Cousins is no waiver wire pick up either. The guy has some skills. If we do not re-sign him after next season he will be in the NFL.

If Cousins plays well and get us a winning record/playoffs appearance, no doubt we have to keep him.
