I dunno who thinks Cousins would be in over RGIII barring injury. RGIII is the franchise guy unless he proves himself to be a Ryan Leaf type bust.

I just want the guy who can play the best football at QB in. If thats RG3 great. If its Cousins thats good too. What I don't want is to wait around like we did for Campbell. Personally I think Cousins has the better look in the NFL over RG3 at the moment but its way to early to speculate. One thing is for sure, between the both of them, I think we finally have our QB problems behind us. HTTR!

Very rational thought. Look around the league and you'll see franchise QBs can come from anywhere. They don't have to be high first round draft picks. Hope it's RG3, but if it turns out to be Cousins, so be it. I thought he looked great in the first game as well. Ideally, we end up with a Rivers-Brees situation.

I agree that our QB problems are behind us, and that is solely due to one RG-3. Do you know what he could have done to the bears second string D? How can you say Cousins has the better look in the NFL - all you have seen him do better is play more snaps against a second team defense? Against the Bills RG-3 played better against the first string than Cousins did against the second string. Throughout camp RG-3 has proven to be the better QB - and that too has been against the better D. Just curious why you think Cousins has the better "look"?

I'm not supporting Cousins being better but if RG3 is getting the majority of the snaps and Cousins is hardly seeing any at all then Cousins looks pretty good against second stringers for the few snaps he's getting. Nice timing, nice accurracy, good decision making. Not that RG3 isn't but he is getting a ton of snaps and should look better.

RG-3 is getting the majority of snaps with the first string in camp, and also he is getting all of the snaps with the first string in the pre-season, - but Cousins is getting more snaps overall during these games so far. All being against second team defenses - my point is that if you let Cousins start a preseason game he will probably not put up the numbers he put up last nite. If you let RG-3 come in against the second team defense he will look like Superman - I know you are not saying Cousins is better than RG-3, but I dont think your being fair to RG-3 because comparing him to Cousins is comparing apples to oranges at this point. RG-3 has had about 15 pass attempts so far in the preseason - I would hardly call that a ton. Cousins has had about 50 - looked bad against Buffalo and good against Chicago - again that was against second string D
