re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns

there's no way kirk puts up enough stats in 1 game for multiple 1st round picks. we'll be lucky to get a 1st for him, even if he goes 4tds/0ints 300 yards or something silly.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns

I don't know about that. I mean, it's unlikely that we get multiple 1st rounders, but Kolb got DRC and a 2nd w/out a whole lot behind him. Flynn made a bundle of cash on one good game. It's a QB hungry league and there are a lot of teams willing to take risks to solidify the QB position.

MS and BA actually may have helped any trade scenario by trading a butt load for RGIII. Given how well it has worked for them, GM's might be more willing to take a few risks to get a starting QB. If KC shows really well and MS pumps up what a great QB he is, I would not be surprised to get a 1st and starter for him.

At the same time, I would be happy to keep him around through the penultimate year of his contract. A good young back up is an incredible luxury, we should not be too quick to trade it away.

In an.......especially barren QB draft class for 2013.

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns

Decision is being made tonight. From what I've been hearing most of the week, they're leaning Kirk. But I don't know for sure

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns

Next rookie up.... This is a huge game, with Kirk it will be a nail biter for sure!

Not that it most likely wouldn't be with RG IIi, but I feel more comfortable with the guy I believe can help lead this team to a win over any team in the league.

Regardless lets go Skins! HTTR

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns

Honestly bro I agree that Griffin should sit a week, but there is another part of me that wants to win three more games and be 10-6. To get there I believe that Griff needs to play. But at the same time I know this is more about putting a player like him out there with the risk of creating a much worse situation for all of us.

I would have been ecstatic with 8-8 considering our situation this year. Now I want to win the division as a fan, and also as a guy who would love to see the cosmic forces come together and punish Mara for handicaping us!

re: Update: Kirk Cousins to Start vs Browns

I'm torn if I'm happy or not about this...RGIII is our future and I want him to remain healthy but this to me kinda says that we are not taking our playoff chances seriously as if you are and our best player can play then he plays.

I think Kirk can win but our offense is going to be different with him in the line up. It changes everything, passing game, running game, the play action which has been vital to our success everything. The Browns are not the greatest but they have a decent D and now do not have to account for RGIII so they can key our run game and tee off on Kirk.

Not the best position to be in when we need to win this game and still need help to make the playoffs.

Don't get me wrong still think we can pull it out but it's gonna be a lot tougher. HTTR
