C'mon man. Are you serious? He's going to have some bad games like every QB does. These guys are not machines. But as long as they protect him and give him weapons, and keep him in the same offense, he's proven he can get the job done and be a top NFL QB. He's playing like this w/out any resemblance of a running game to lean on.

Also KC just does not come off as the kind of guy to let things go to his head. He's a lunch pale kind of guy who keeps his mouth shut, keeps his head in the playbook and film room, and gives the credit to his teammates.

Looking back on that play, it certainly hurt Griffin's off season in 2012 as he was rehabbing. But at some point, he had to develop his pocket game and never did. In the end that was his downfall here, not the knee injury.

It will be interesting to see where he lands next year but I doubt anyone will have him come in as a starter. He's going to have to do what KC did and win a job during training camp.

I can't see how that would be a legit concern with him. He's not wired like that.

Maybe what he truly needed was more reps and extended time to run the offense. He's played at a higher level for the past month and a half than any other starting quarterbacks in the league.

Cousins has succeeded expectations. And I truly think he has turned more than one corner in his development. But he accomplished this in a contract year. That's why I'm a little concerned.

And NYCskinsfan82 - possibly still figuring out how RG-3's speed would be the better fit as opposed to Kirks superior QB play though?

If Ngata had not blasted his knee he would still be a very fast and dangerous "play maker" with an inability to read defenses, throw accurately, and adapt to defenses when they force him to throw the ball. Just sayin....

He has had 1.5 years to recover from all his injuries, it usually takes 2 years to recover from major knee surgery. I would not be surprised if he looks like his old self next year (speed wise) it wouldn't be a bad gamble for a team to sign him, especially on the cheap side.

No doubt he can regain his speed. What I doubt is that speed alone can make for a successful starting QB in the NFL.

I'm still here, I'm a SKINS fan first and in case you didn't know I'm entitled to my own opinion don't make this site into the site that doesn't need to be named where everyone must think alike and agree with everyone else.

Would never want it to be that site that wont be named. So that being said, did Kirk change your opinion yet?
