Mike Shanahan. Loves cousins. "Kirk Cousins is a franchise QB he will be a top 10 QB in this league no doubt about it"

I want to go on record as cheering in the Kirk Cousins era in the second half of the Seahawks playoff game. I was almost murdered in the stadium for it but I've never liked "running" quarterbacks and I've never seen anything in RG3 that made me excited about him outside of a few rare razzle dazzle moments. I've hated this pick since they traded with the Rams and before it was even a done deal. I'm glad that this debacle is near the end, though he will still be a distraction for a little while. I'll be in section 112 against Miami watching what I hope will be the dawning of a new day for my beloved Redskins.

I see a bit of Brett Favre in Kirk.. He'll throw a few picks but he'll also get you 300 yards and can lead you down field when it matters. He needs seat time but I'm looking at a kid with 9 starts in the NFL. It's a little early to say he's not ready to transition to the role as starter. It's always a bumpy ride, you're just looking for improvement as you go..
