I am happy to see Cousins improvement over the year. I believe it may have been Joe Theismann who has been preaching that this is really Cousins' "rookie year" meaning his first true season as starting QB. He has yet to have an off-season where he is the guy, and it really has been an uphill battle for him in terms of getting reps / practice, etc..

I think next year might be totally different with Cousins having an entire off-season to prepare as the starter. I am no expert but I believe Cousins can be the franchise QB here. He seems to fire up the players and seems well-liked by his team-mates and all of his coaches, something that RG3 didn't have. Cousins just being on the field seems to get everybody fired up and super competitive. It also doesn't hurt that he is a genuine, down-to earth, good person, who is always supportive of everyone.

One thing I really like about him is how honest he is about his mistakes and shortcomings. He has no problem blaming himself for poor throws, poor plays, etc..

I hope this guy is the QB here for the next 10-12 years....
