Shanahan obviously saw something in Cousins to use a 4th rd pick on him after he already drafted RG3.If he's afraid of a controversy he shouldnt have drafted cousins in the first place.
If RG3 comes out and stinks it up again Sunday night,then Mike should bench him at halftime,but I dont think Mikes got the balls to do it,if he did he would have done it in the Seattle game.
RG3 is just not right this yr and he's taking way more punishment than any other qb in the league,and he's not getting any calls.
I want a healthy RG3 for next yr and if he keeps getting nailed the way he is that might not happen.
Sometimes you learn something riding the bench a game or so.
I think people are afraid that if Kirk comes in and does well thats a bad thing.
I want the qb playing to give us the best chance to win,if thats Cousins so be it.I'd rather it be RG3 but we have no ideal if he's ever gonna be the same.
I want a coach that has the balls to play the qb thats gives the team the best chance to win and his not worried about draft status and contract.

I don't think winning or trying to improve our standing in the NFC East really matters anymore, which is sad. These last few games are basically just live practices, so RG3 can continue developing.

Exactly. Why is everyone trying to drum up a controversy? We spent a fortune on this guy. He needs the reps... and a better pass blocking o-line.

We haven't even discussed what would happen if Cousins comes out and craps the bed. He goes from a potential 2nd - 3rd round value to being a 4th-6th rounder. There's truly no upside to playing him at all this season absent a RG3 injury.

To me this is ridiculous. So if RG3 comes out and has another 4 yards passing at the half we keep a capable back up on the bench cause we're concerned about hurting his trade value? SMH...what about trying to win a game? What about doing what's best for the players/coaches/ owner that are tired of losing? ...and not worrying about trades, ego and hurting someone's feelings? This is not the RG3 Skins. Hopefully he comes out and plays a good game Sun, but if not, it's time to try and win a damn game.

Like it or not, RG3 gives us the best chance to win any game he's healthy enough to play in. He needs time and reps in order to get better. Short term and long term, if healthy, there's NO benefit for the team or the player to him watching from the sidelines.

If only pro sports were so simple.

I think it's very possible, but we'll worry about that in a month or so

So is it almost a done deal that Shanny is done?
