Cousins to start 2015 Season

I did.. Cheap, ugly wins.. One year does not a career make..

and if you remember this correctly...it was just a 6 game streak....before that the coach basically assumed the year was done...I think we were 4-6 and playing poorly...then we tore through the very weak NFC east that year...excluding those games...the Skins have been fairly average and more recently flat out bad to lousy. Any improvement is good. I will take an average game manager any day over drama over a supposed savior that always disappoints. I like Robert, but...I hope it is over.
I wish they would just cut him. It's like an alcoholic that says he wont drink but keeps that 1 beer in the back of the fridge....
Throw out the BEER!!

But not Griffin?

Well said.

But not Griffin?

Can't figure much out if you can't stay healthy enough to play. Griffin isn't a QB. He's a shiny mirror ball doing just enough razzle dazzle to keep people from noticing that he isn't humble enough to shut up, show up and put up..

Thanks. Totally forgot he had a bad game. He sucks and always will. They should start the QB who never had a bad game. Too bad there isn't one on the roster or one that has ever existed for that matter.

I'm just trying to keep grounded. Last year I remember everyone getting hyped about Cousins, he was our QB of the future after one game, people were ready to trade Griffin, and then Cousins just completely fell apart entirely and got benched. Now he does fair against mostly 2nd team in a preseason game, and people are ready to jump back on his bandwagon again. I really don't think that there is any solid reason to be optimistic about him.

I think RG3 more lost his position then Kirk earned it, and really I think it has as much to do with off the field issues as his struggles on the field. I mean, how is it that Scot wasn't able to tell before the preseason that Griffin was hopeless? Why sign the 5th year option? I mean unless they are sincere about Kirk giving us the best chance, Griffin is still part of the team, and the door isn't closed on him yet. In that case it would make sense to have kept him on only to sit him after he had 1 bad preseason performance for Cousins who had 1 good one, because you could assume then that they believe he has a chanc to develop, but Cousins can help us win now while he does. Or perhaps SM didn't realize how lost Griffin was mentally on and off the field until he saw it for himself and now wants to cut bait quick and eat the losses. I think it's probably the latter, but that doesnt make me feel good about Cousins as our starter or the fact that we've conceded to the biggest bust in history.

I'll be just as excited as everyone else when we win, but I'm not excited about this crappy situation.

I like the move but I still think the future QB is not on the roster yet.

It be awesome if Kirk took off with this opportunity and never looked back but if he just becomes a mid level QB who can't stop throwing interceptions, I still think having him in the role gives the team a better chance to prepare each week and just focus on the job at hand. We can build around him even if he's only a placeholder for the next guy 3 years from now. Let KC manage the game, don't put it all on his shoulders, let Alf and Gator split 30-35 carries and spend this next few years building out the roster.

People are going to be surprised by Kirks improvement from last year. He will play well this year. I normally don't make bold statemental like this, but I have a few reasons to be confident.

He worked with Jon Gruden in the offseason. He even invited RG3 and 7 WR to his training camp to work with him and his other QB coach. All 7 WR joined and RG3 did not.

He has ELITE pocket awareness right now. His movement in the pocket is on a high level and has been seen in TC and in preseason.

He has put a lot of work in to be the #1 guy. Someone who shows the adversity he has from getting a shot and being benched to working his way to being theb#1 guy again is something we all should look forward to. Having that type of mental toughness behind center will prove to be worthy.

Plenty more things to add but a guy I follow on Twitter has a full report of his offseason work he's going to post. I won't spill it till it is.

Just wanted to say... Very Classy... Strong, but not critical of RG3.

To this day, I still do a double take when I see #8.

Chip Lohmiller is forever engrained in my head!

Dude, his presser makes me feel more comfortable than I have in a while. He's a student.of.the.game... Period. He may play shaky but I'm effing behind kirk cousins 100% and I now.get a.good.feeling...... Exact opposite of an Rg presser, top to.bottom.
