This whole thread is a joke - Who is Kirk Cousins? ------->  |
KC is 27 and has been in the NFL for 4 years, and has spent most of that time as the backup QB for a generally lousy team. He's NOT a rookie. He's got this entire season to show what he's made of. What our GM is looking for is steady improvement throughout this entire 16 game season. I
personally hope that KC turns out to be the long-term franchise QB that the 'skins have been searching for over the last 25 years. But honestly right now I see him making some good moves and also some bad ones. He just had a very good game that showed that he has the fire in his belly to make a comeback victory. Let's see how he does - he controls his own destiny. Next season RG3 will be gone. If KC steadily improves and helps this team win some games he could get himself more games next year. But if he stays as an average or below guy who throws too many INT then McC will draft a QB with our first pick.
The NFL is a QB-driven game and KC has a whole season to show that he can be the passer / leader that this team needs to win football games. If he can exhibit an ability to win games then he'll be part of a steadily improving football team. I also want to see how KC does when Desean finally comes back on the roster...
