Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?

Well, you are consistent in that Kirk can't play well enough to suit you even if he wins Offensive Player of the Week.
I would suggest I have been entirely consistent in my position. Here is the prior conversation:

Here is the quote to which my 2:1 comment was responsive:

But what they also tell me is that he has yet to put together back to back good games, he has yet to play a good game on the road and he his good games are in the middle of multiple bad games. BOTTTOM LINE the jury is still well out on him and until consistent play is accomplished I don't feel he is the future.

Not looking for him to be flawless, just looking for the good games to be about a 2:1 ratio of good games to the bad ones. Consistently.
If KC has one or two good games for every one or two bad games he is just the same old KC. If he strings two or three good games on either side of a SINGLE bad game, then I think he has shown significant improvement. With nine games to go, if he has only two "bad" games, that's improvement. He doesn't have to be great or even good in the rest, just no bonehead interceptions and decent accuracy.

Honestly, don't know. Don't know who is likely to be available. My responses have been to the question "Who is KC" not "If you don't think KC is next year's QB, what's the plan?"

KC may be the best option for next year, but to me that's a entirely different question from who he is NOW. To me, he is the same guy he has been for the last THREE AND A HALF YEARS. Decent game, good game, dear-god-how-he-still-be-in-the-league game, less than good game, really good game. All mixed in together.

You see something that makes you think he can change that. Okay, fair enough. I don't. At the same time, he may end up be being the best option for next year.
