Somebody's got to be #3.

Chico23231 · 04-03-2014, 02:29 PM

I think Colt can push Cousins. Still a young guy, really nice #3 imo.

This would motivate me to put out feelers on Cousins around draft time to see if we could land a 2nd or multi picks like a 3rd and 5th.

I endorse this post.

Cousins' main value is that he is young. This does not benefit us nearly as much as it would a team looking for a franchise QB. We should turn that benefit into a player who will see the field rather than hold a clipboard.

And should RGIII get hurt, McCoy is as good (and as bad) of a substitute. McCoy also has considerable starting experience.

McCoy for career:
58.3 comp. %
21-20 TD-Int
74.9 QBR

Cousins for career:
56.2 comp. %
8-10 TD-Int
68.6 QBR

McCoy's numbers are better.

Are you implying McCoy is a better NFL Qb?

Nope. I would say neither dramatically better nor worse.

But those who think that we can't trade Cousins "in case RGIII gets hurt" should look again at Cousins' numbers. They're bad.

Who cares.

Cousins has started 4 games, and McCoy has started 21. The stats are misleading, if you enter a game late, and are down 14 you are more likely to force passes, then get interceptions.

I think Cousins will develop into a good QB, and trading him would be a big mistake. What did P. Manning, or Brady do in their first 4 starts ?......Manning had 28 interceptions as a rookie, and Brady didn't start a game

Give Cousins a dozen starts before you compare him to McCoy

why would we give cousins starts? I rather have colt and a 2nd round pick than a backup with "potential" that never plays.

honestly, whether it's colt or cousins, if either one is starting for us, we're already boned.

This would make sense if we were looking for a starter.

McCoy is garbage. I don't care if he has experience. He has no deep ball at all. Should have tried to get back Campbell as a back up if they're trading Cousins. Maybe even Weeden. This is a big play offense now with a QB that has questionable knees. Got to have a strong backup here.

When we get a strong backup, let me know. The numbers which you dismissed tell the tale that Cousins isn't all that good.

As for the arm, Gruden's offense is designed to compensate for QB's without a lot of arm strength. Ask Andy Dalton.

I watched several Bengals games and they were throwing the ball down the field a lot. Besides, they just signed one of the best deep threats in the game.

People love stats around here. I dismiss some of those numbers because the last game was in a monsoon. Against Dallas there were several drops. We don't win the division in 12 w/out Cousins. Like Griffin, he has things he needs to work on.

Just not a fan of McCoy as a back up for this offense. There's a good chance the backup will play here since Griffin takes a lot of hits. I was hoping we bring in Vick or even Jason Campbell lol.
