Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

And how are we going to protect or get weapons for RG3/Cousins? Can Cousins catch the football, or intercept it. We needed a backup QB, but it was NOT a need NOW

Letting this settle in a little bit, I think I understand it. Do we REALLY want Rex with the ball if Griffin gets hurt?

Kirk Cousins is to RG3 what Gus Ferrotte was to Heath Schuler :D

Yes I went there.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

Now, if we can develop Cousins and trade him, we'll be getting more than a 4th rounder from that, no?

Well we don't have a first round pick of our own for the next billion years so yeah, no real benefit to lost seasons.

Rex Grossman makes it a need.

So do I. YES!

Look he's back up protection. Young and healthy and good. If RG3 goes down for some odd reason we have a decent backup. We don't have to worry about RG1 going in or Beck or god forbid Crompton.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

Love the pick though. I mean before people were calling for a developmental QB. This is the situation where you bring in a guy like Cousins. I LOVE this pick.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

I cannot be more delighted with this pick.
This kid played high school football where I live.
Everyone out here talks about him.

My ex-father in law is totally in love with him.
And he hates the Redskins.
LMAO!

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

I like the pick... good insurance in case RG3 gets hurt

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

they probably saw cousins as a good value at this position, someone whom they could develop into a quality backup, and someone who fits the system. i understand the pick, just never was his biggest fan in college. i don't think its a terrible pick. you need 2 QBs that can play.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

well there goes joe adams!!!!!! Goddamnit!!! We chose a backup backup QB over a starting RS slot guy.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft Day 3
 

Disappointed.......there are going to be suitable backups on the street soon enough......would have liked to have seen O-line or ILB.

The thing is between Luck and RG3, RG3 was the one with a few injury red flags and his playing style can be risky at times. A falling QB like Cousins in the 4th round make tons of sense.
