Cousins has got talent and can help push RG3 and his superior physical gifts to its limits. Cousins is a film junkie, I havent heard that about Griffin and it will rub off on him as they progress together. The media can scream controversy until its blue in the face, but this move keeps Griffin dedicated, and focused. A cerebal QB with high upside is exactly what the doctor recommended. Future draft picks five years from now, only makes this seem that much sweeter...

Griffin graduated with a 3.67 GPA at Baylor. I doubt studying film will be much of a problem for him.

People point out that Griffin was in the media spotlight more then Luck. Well after this weekend it should be painfully obvious why he was. Griffin is extremely charismatic and well spoken, ie media savy. As one of the beat writers reported he had one interview after another and every one sounded different.

Luck meanwhile, despite being very smart and probably a very nice guy isn't exactly the best interview.
