There is lots (LOTS) of blame to go around for Sundays loss. KC gets his fair share of it. My only question is: Can he improve and make "the play"? OR, as FRPLG fears, is this who he is and there ain't no more.
I reserve judgment. I think KC generally acquitted himself well in his 5th start against a good division rival on their field in a game that was a real slugfest. At the same time, to really stake a claim for the job, KC needs to take the team on his shoulders and win at crunch time.
In 2012, RGIII did that and, honestly, given a little time, I believe he will do it again. For now, however, we roll with KC and I hope he tears up the opposition (just like I hoped for RGIII).
It will be a very fortunate dilemma if at the end of this season we have 2 guys who can start and win in this league at QB.

RG3 carried the team playing a style he no longer wants to play. And the Romo comparison is premature. Romo gets knocked for being a choker because he's still doing it 10 years into his career. KC doing it in his 5th career start makes him similar to every other QB that has ever played the game.
And I'm not sure RG3 only needs a "little time". He can't even stay healthy at this point.
