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.

We will see. I hope Djax and Jordan come back soon. We don't play Jax every week.

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.

He has been great, but the D-Line in general. Baker looked outstanding today. I wanna see how they hold up versus a top offensive line next week versus the Eagles.


But, Hatcher, Kerrigan, and Robinson have been crucial throughout 2 games.

Amerson has well, I wish he would have had that pick today.

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

People quitting already on Kirk huh. New system, new coach, better weapons, and just dominated a team on the field today to the tune of 40+. I don't get why some people call themselves fan.

Have a little damn faith

It's interesting watching the back and forth over Cousins and Griffin.

It's devolved to insulting the one you don't like in an effort to defend the one you do like.

I don't get the level of attachment to the individual players.

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

Whole team gave up last year. That said lets see what Gruden and Cousins put together and how long RGIII will be out before we try to figure out the best way to stir the qb controversy pot.

I hope Cousins pulls a Kaepernik and earns the starting job by his play. But I expect multiple pick games going forward(of course in the NFC East that may be a qb requirement this year)

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.

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.

Like ss said in the preseason, we have 2 young good qb. You don't have to chose, just support ur team.

More positives to come:

Meriweather returning next week (See ya Rambo)
Philip Thomas, Reed and Djax will be back when they are healthy (2-3 weeks)
