Kirk Cousins comes out and plays decently - basically like how a normal second year fourth round draft pick back up quarterback would play - and he's a dime a dozen. OR, he's a superstar. One extreme or the other!
Come on guys!
Which would you rather have: A combination of RGIII/Cousins, or John Beck/Rex Grossman? I would take my chances with the former. And I would also make sure those two quarterbacks are on the same roster next year as well. Seriously, this is the best depth the 'skins has had at quarterback in a long, long time. There are more serious issues that need addressing - but quarterback is not one!
Special teams, alone, have lost the 'skins some games this year. Defense has lost games for this team as well. Offensive pass protection has been bad for most of the season - and it's gotten worse. The only time I feel it's necessary to complain about quarterback play is when the offensive line is as stout and solid - to the liken of the old hogs. When the defense is solid and stingy, and the special teams makes big plays for the 'skins and NOT for the other team. Then if the Redskins are still losing games, then we need to take a long hard look at the quarterback. Heck, even if all the 'skins are able to improve on is pass protection and special teams - that might be enough to give a good long look at quarterback, but as far as I'm concerned, this team needs to overall some very glaring issues first before we start crapping on RGIII or Kirk Cousins.

He's the first Redskins QB to throw for over 300 yards in his first 2 starts and you call that NORMAL? First round projected starters BUST on a regular basis in the NFL, yet a 4th round pick puts up numbers like that and it's considered routine. Not saying KC is a future Hall of Famer or even that he won't amount to anything more than a career backup, BUT I don't see how anyone can say he's just been OK or performed as any 4th round backup would.
I'm with you on everything else. If the Special Teams and Defense weren't absolutely, bottom-of-the-league, abysmal, the Skins would have won 4-5 more games this year. They can improve in both areas in a single off-season. If they were even middle of the pack in both areas, the season would have been totally different. With a full salary cap and via the draft, they can do what they need to do to contend for the worst division in football... next year!
