He, and others, are victims/culprits of an unfortunate downward trend in the quality of what First Take could be (but it gets people to watch).

Great points. I know you and Matty are right, best to ignore this clown.....I guess Bayless got me. I read his comments and took a few minutes to respond.
He certainly has no knowledge in evaluating QBs if he thinks Cousins is more NFL ready than RG3. He's the same guy that still thinks Tebow is "one of the best deep throwers in football" and "he'd take Tebow over Aaron Rodgers in a one game scenario."
