That would be a dilemma since it will be a contract year for both RGIII and Cousins? Or is it the following year? If Cousins plays the rest of the season like he did today, RGIII will be no longer a skin in the future.

Regardless if you think Griffin was the answer or not. He gave it a 1000%. You got feel bad for him. He looked like he was going tear up when they were carting him back.

Griffin still has one more year. Team will have decision to make on picking up 5th yr option.

How about Niles Paul? Jordan Reed may not get his job back. Don't want to get ahead here but this is the sign of a good team. Starting QB, TE and WR is out? No big deal. Drop 41 and 400 plus yards of offense. And they may not be able to keep this Redd kid on the bench either.

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...

It certainly seems that way. Getting pressure from our d-lineman is something we're not really accustomed to. I don't remember any sacks last year when we didn't send some kind of blitz. Today the pressure was constant. Of course, the Jags suck, so our optimism should be probably be tempered.

"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.

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

I guess you are not a Cousins believer? I think Kirk is our future if he keeps playing like today and RGIII is done for the year.

[MTK]

I really don't care who the QB is if we're winning. I think there's a good chance Cousins can lead the way. We've got weapons and the D has looked solid.
