Manning + a 1st round OT + a later round QB (4th round or down) is awesome.
I would much prefer Russell Wilson but as long as its Manning + OT I would be okay with any developmental QB.

I'd be more than ok with that.

I'd really like Manning/RG3(for cheap) but I already ate all my cake.

I feel like the Redskins FO just decides to spin the wheel every week and obsess over whichever QB it lands on.

Change Redskins FO to fan base and you're spot on

Hahahaha. Perhaps I've oversimplified how Front Offices evaluate talent.

Cousins looked legit at the combine, his passes seemed to have a lot more velocity than other QBs he was throwing with, with accuracy to match.

hold on...we arent talking 1st round? sorry even if we move back in the first that's unacceptable. 3rd round would be highest we should consider.

Cousins as your starting quarterback is a late-first guy. Cousins as not-yet-sure-hes-your-long-term-starter is a late two or early three guy.

I wouldn't mind him with our 2nd rd pick.

I can handle it, I'm a man I'm 40! (well not really 40....)

I've only watched Cousins twice (both against Wisconsin).
Been meaning to get around to watching more of his games but I got nothing against the kid.
I thought he threw the ball well at the combine and answered, at least for me, some concerns about his arm strength.

Specifically, I thought that Foles had a much bigger arm then Cousins and wondered whether Cousins dirve the ball on some of the tougher NFL throws.
I don't think his skill warrants being placed in the same athletic/playmaking category as Tannehill (or Russell Wilson for that matter) but he has a good skill set none the less.

I like to use Andy Dalton as a measuring stick for physical skill set.
Other then coming from more of a pro-style offense Cousins isn't very dissimilar to Dalton.
But then again I didn't think that Dalton's skillset separated him that much form Ricky Stanzi.

When I think of Cousins the spectre of Russell Wilson, whom I think is a better prospect then Cousins, looms large.
If Russell Wilson could be available in the mid to late rounds it makes it hard for me to view Cousins as more then a 3rd round and down type of prospect.
