Kirk Cousins says Scot McCloughan re-affirmed him halfway through last season and it helped him as he ascended in 2nd-half. #Redskins

If true (and I realize there's some supposition involved here), it just confirms that neither Dan nor Bruce should be anywhere near personnel decisions. I thought it was interesting that as pissed as Aaron Rodgers was last night, even though he grimaced when he congratulated Cousins, he paused for a moment, and then said something that Cousins seemed to take as respectful and encouraging. You can tell Rodgers is upset with how the Packers season has gone (and he's been awesome in recent weeks -- not many QBs would have lost a game playing the way he played last night). But whatever he said to Cousins seemed, at least from the body language of both men, to be genuine.
