Gruden Says Start Cousins

Lot of things I could say here, but I won't. Enjoy the holiday weekend

Gives us a chance to bolster Cousin's value. Additionally, keeps RG3 healthy going into the offseason and he can have a full, healthy, offseason to continue learning and evolving while potentially giving us another reasonable draft pick to help build the team. What point does playing Griffin who is getting hit constantly on a recently reconstructed knee serving? The question can be posed two ways.

I'm not sure how I feel about the situation myself, but I understand why many people are making the argument.

See I don't get the " well it bolsters Cousins trade value" comments. If the guy starts and runs the offense, gets the ball out quicker, sees the field, sees the blitzes, throws accurate passes....basically does everything RG3 isn't doing, or doing on a consistent basis....then why would you trade him?

I think if RG3 comes out Sun and plays like he has the last two weeks then you have to sit him down. I don't care about draft status, ego, politics and all that BS. At that point you have to do what you can to win a game.

Come'on, its black friday, bring the smackdown!

Only way to play Cousins is if RG3 is injuried. RG3 needs to play to gain more experience as a pocket passer.

I think someone said it a couple weeks ago and it was a good point, only thing playing Cousins does is diminsh his trade value.

Griffin needs the reps. Cousins needs to stay on the bench.

Griffin needsto play. He was palying one of the best defenses in the NFL. Griffin brought a knife to a gun fight.

Shit thread. Lock and ban.

Throwing me under the bus.

NC Skins' beast mode gear can be easily shifted

Shanahan obviously saw something in Cousins to use a 4th rd pick on him after he already drafted RG3.If he's afraid of a controversy he shouldnt have drafted cousins in the first place.
If RG3 comes out and stinks it up again Sunday night,then Mike should bench him at halftime,but I dont think Mikes got the balls to do it,if he did he would have done it in the Seattle game.
RG3 is just not right this yr and he's taking way more punishment than any other qb in the league,and he's not getting any calls.
I want a healthy RG3 for next yr and if he keeps getting nailed the way he is that might not happen.
Sometimes you learn something riding the bench a game or so.
I think people are afraid that if Kirk comes in and does well thats a bad thing.
I want the qb playing to give us the best chance to win,if thats Cousins so be it.I'd rather it be RG3 but we have no ideal if he's ever gonna be the same.
I want a coach that has the balls to play the qb thats gives the team the best chance to win and his not worried about draft status and contract.

I don't think winning or trying to improve our standing in the NFC East really matters anymore, which is sad. These last few games are basically just live practices, so RG3 can continue developing.

Griffin needs the reps. Cousins needs to stay on the bench.

Exactly. Why is everyone trying to drum up a controversy? We spent a fortune on this guy. He needs the reps... and a better pass blocking o-line.
