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!

I think you completely misunderstood my point. I'm not cracking on Kirk Cousins at all. In fact, quite the opposite. I'm saying that a lot of Redskins fans around here are in one extreme or the other. Either that Kirk Cousins is a superstar or he's a dud. I'm basically saying he's done some great things in his limited time playing, but he's also looked like a fourth round quarterback with limited playing time. He's had good and bad. The more playing time, the more I think Kirk becomes one of the better quarterbacks in the league, but all this talk about trading RGIII and starting Cousins OR that Cousins isn't worth even the fourth rounder we spent on him is both crazy talk.
That's all I'm saying.
