Cousins to start 2015 Season
 
I think this deserves it's own thread.

Post from NY_Skins
"Kirk just named starter for 2015. Period.

I'm happy for Kirk, He's been a professional and solid backup.
I'm worried he isn't the answer but I look forward to seeing what he can do.

Time to move on from the other guy.

Goodbye Robert. Thanks for the 2012 season. Colt is starting and playing the entire game this week.

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 
Look at it like this, it was an open competition and Kirk outplayed RG3 and Colt in camp and in the games. RG3 was never able to prove it on the field.

Like McC said, see my sig.

Im ready for the season, lets put this drama behind us...

Kirk will be much better with a much improved OL and running game. He's not losing this job.

Good luck Captain Kirk ! I wish things had worked out for RG111 , however , glad we made a decision and our moving forward .

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 
the beard is getting no credit for this. without the beard, kirk looks like a very nice pleasant young man. with the beard, he almost looks like a man.

sarcasm aside, just the visual presence of the beard may make his teammates view him differently. hell, it probably makes kirk feel a little more bold.

beard = bold.

be bold mr. kirk and they will follow you.

Couldn't had said it better budw38. I was really hoping Bob got it together but it just ain't happening and he's become a huge distraction. The O has improved and Kirk should benefit from it.

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 
Well coming from the Titans game from last year to this point, you have to give KC a ton of credit. He got better and earned it. This was a performance decision and apparently he took the job from Griffin. To me that says it's finally all about football over at Redskin Park.

With that being said, I hope Gruden is patient and let's KC play through his mistakes. I hope he is given the same rope that Griffin was given.

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 
I think it was a good move to name KC the starter now and let him and the team begin to prepare for week 1 instead of keeping things in flux until the last possible minute while waiting to see if RG3 is healthy enough to play.

As for RG3, I really dont think we will ever see him in a Redskins uniform again.

JWsleep 08-31-2015 01:36 PM

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 
Now Kirk needs to step up and make it stick. INTs must be down, TDs up. Obviously, the team is better right now with KC over RGIII. But is KC the future or just a caretaker?

More importantly, it puts lie to all the SI shit about Snyder "blocking" KC, etc. Gruden and McC prevailed. If there really was such Kirk-blocking, hopefully that will slap Snyder down for a while. And if there never was (which I suspect, at least since McC arrived), the MAYBE the media will pipe down a bit about the famous front office "dumpster fire" at Redskins park. Now we can just focus on the dumpster fire on the field, as we should.

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 
As long as he goes somewhere in the AFC, good luck to him. Some how, some way he will end up on the Cowboys where he can sit behind freaking Romo and improve for 2-3 years and we'll get to see him torch us.

I don't think he'll ever be good again, but that's been our luck thus far.

Hopefully he gets 16 games to so they can figure that out.

I'm fine with some of his INTs if he is aggressive and opens up the passing game.

With the right team and coach, RG3 can be a good qb. However I don't think there's a chance in hell that's our team. I'm worried that team might be the Eagles, which is why I also hope he goes to the AFC. For now, here's to Captain Kirk leading the way, and proving once and for all whether or not he deserves to be a starter in the NFL.

I'm definitely in favor of this move. He is much better suited for this system. I hope he does well that we don't have to worry about this QB crap for a long, long time.

I want to go on record as cheering in the Kirk Cousins era in the second half of the Seahawks playoff game. I was almost murdered in the stadium for it but I've never liked "running" quarterbacks and I've never seen anything in RG3 that made me excited about him outside of a few rare razzle dazzle moments. I've hated this pick since they traded with the Rams and before it was even a done deal. I'm glad that this debacle is near the end, though he will still be a distraction for a little while. I'll be in section 112 against Miami watching what I hope will be the dawning of a new day for my beloved Redskins.

I see a bit of Brett Favre in Kirk.. He'll throw a few picks but he'll also get you 300 yards and can lead you down field when it matters. He needs seat time but I'm looking at a kid with 9 starts in the NFL. It's a little early to say he's not ready to transition to the role as starter. It's always a bumpy ride, you're just looking for improvement as you go..

Kirk earned it (as it should be) and hopefully he'll make the most of this 2nd opportunity.

Said the same thing about Jason Campbell several years ago. I was wrong then, and - much as I really, really, really was hoping RGIII was the guy - I think folks are wrong about that now.

Happy the drama seems to be over but deeply, deeply depressed that the promise of 2012 is so completely gone. I really truly was hoping RGIII could be the face of the franchise for years.

I agree with you Joe. Terribly sad 2012 was it. I felt it after he was injured in the playoff game that he was done. Terribly sad for that kid who lit the world on fire only to have the world light him on fire.

Fuck Mike Shanahan for leaving RGIII on the field against the Seahawks, he should have been benched after Ngata hit him in the Baltimore game.

Hated the 2012 season?

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 
RedskinsJake-

What have you seen that tells you he can lead the team down the field when it matters?

What I have seen is a guy who shits his pants when he is under any kind of mental pressure.

Please enlighten me. If you are happy that we now have Captain Turnover and Captain McConcussion as our top two qbs and rg III has failed to be what we all thought he was going to be beyond the ROY division winner 2012 season, then you must have a bad memory. 2015 is going to be a long year

CRedskinsRule 08-31-2015 04:08 PM

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 
This year we have the qb Whisperer and our qb has a beard. Superbowl bound!

Seriously though, I think Cavanaugh has a chance to be huge for this team. Cousins will throw a pick but its important to refocus afterwards and Cavanaugh has to do that. You can come back from picks and with DJax and our receivers I hope he can get past them.

Shanarat is a good offensive mind, if he didn't have such an ego about wanting all the power he probably is still somewhere in the league.

Really, Kyle shanahan is the rose of all this clown show. He developed game plans that created RGIII - 2012 edition.

Griffin didn't know what was good for him. He should have never questioned/refused/been lukewarm to the read option. Now he's going to struggle just to save his NFL career.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1118522]IDK about that hes always been injury prone[/quote]

Exactly. Dude snapped his ankle by planting and throwing on the run.

Shanahan badly mishandled his knee at the end of 2012 but RG3 is destined to be hurt often. He doesn't avoid contact well and doesn't sense pressure. When he gets hit he gets splattered like a bug on a windshield. Add in his speed and slight frame and you get carnage.

He should convert to WR a la Terrelle Pryor.

That kid was never the same after hurting the same knee, well knowing that he previously had reconstructive surgery on that knee, he risked letting him play till it tore again. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to say, "oh it's the same knee, let him heal". HE IS OUR FRANCHISE PLAYER!! (Was).

Yeah because, you know, you don't get hit or have to plant and make cuts as a WR.

Re: Cousins to start 2015 Season
 
Cousins is a little less horrid than RG3(though this is his chance to prove he is head and shoulders above his predecessor). Hopefully Jay will let him ride out his rough patches, not vacilate to McCoy the first time it happens.
