Other than 30gut, please point to anyone suggesting, at this point, who is saying RGIII is a better option than KC?

Also, can we drop the "young QB" crap please. He's 27, midway through his 4th year in the league. At some point the "not enough starts" argument is just tiresome. He has played enough and been in the league long enough to make an evaluation. Throughout his career, he has been consistently inconsistent.

I would love to be wrong. I would love for the guy to flip some switch that entirely alters the way he has been playing. Just not getting my hopes up based on how he has played for the last three years and a half years.

But experience wise he is young. Do you not believe starting games has more to do with becoming a better qb than simply aging?
Edit: furthermore, he is finally after 3 years getting all the first team reps, and attention as a starter. This is like his rookie year in more than one way, that has to be taken into account. Not sure how it is getting "old" in week 8? Do not mistake my comments as me saying he will pan out, or he is the future. However we are 8 weeks into his first true audition imo.
When you are pulled off the bench in the second half, or cast into the starting role when the season is over already its easy to be inconsistent. This is year number one with him as the pre ordained starting qb from the preseason. That is a fact not an opinion. We are seeing absolute growth as is evident by his calm cool and collected self in clutch time. All of this without a true number one wr, and a banged up oline, a non existent run game, and a defense that has not exactly kept him in rythym by stopping the other teams. He has willed us to victory more than once this year.

I don't fit into that category either.

Just for the sake of accuracy.

I have been saying, even before the season started, that Jay and Griffin wouldn't work. In fact I have been saying that Griffin should have been traded at the end of last season.

Overall my position of Kirk hasn't changed. You'll get some good, some bad, some awesome and some terrible.

What we all want is consistency especially when its comes to decision making and accuracy.

Kirk is becoming the QB he's going to be. He still has time to show consistent accuracy and decision making we are looking for...or not.
