Re: Around the League...Training Camp Style!

Did you read the rest of the article which points out Cousins poor play at the end of last year and states without question that there is no qb controversy. Just a controversial headline to get clicks

It is echoed again in Peter King's Monday Morning QB article.

Monday Morning QB: Johnny Manziel earning shot at Cleveland Browns job | The MMQB with Peter King

Go to the last page under 10 things I think.


For the lazy:

Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston isn’t just good on the Patriots. He’s strong on the ancillary things. Such as this, after the Patriots’ trip to Richmond: “One of my biggest takeaways from Patriots-Redskins joint practices was surprise that Robert Griffin III didn’t look like the best quarterback on his own team. In fact, I thought Kirk Cousins was better than him, from the perspective of running the offense, fine-tuned mechanics and how decisively the ball came out of his hand. I wondered if I was alone, and then heard the same sentiment echoed by some others in the Patriots organization.”

To me, Cousins is worth a second-round pick from a quarterback-needy team.

This is just typical media repeating media to make it fact. Peter King didn't add new insight, only quoting what Reiss put out there, which Breer did a nice job summing up in his article.

I like Cousins, but his first pass of the game also should have been an interception, hit the defender in stride in his hands, and our guy was double covered.

He definitely has a history of forcing throws like that on occasion.

Cool write up and good to see the RVA getting some respect with Skins camp. I hope this becomes a customary routine with the joint practices in Richmond, it was nothing but a positive.

Its funny to me how the focus of the writes up was about QB and receivers, and little mention about the fact our 1st team Oline and Dline handled the Pats teams and our running game was stronger the entire joint practices. And then as in the practices, it translated into the game Thursday.

To suggest Cousins is better than rg3 is just media trolling for shit...watch the last four games from last year son.

His concluding paragraph:


There are bound to be a few bumps in the road as Griffin makes the transformation to pocket passer, but there's no reason to look over his shoulder at Cousins in the mean time.

Re: Around the League...Training Camp Style!

Lol, good times in Jerry land. Ironically enough I always figured he was single at this point, mainly because of that commercial where he bragged about having a hot tub in the shape of Texas. After all, married guys don't brag about hot tubs unless they want to talk about joint pain. I found another article on TMZ, copy and pasted so people don't have to feel dirty about visiting TMZ. Also can't stop laughing at the fact they took a giant tour bus with the Cowboys logo right on the side to a strip club. It's like they wanted to get caught.

Jerry Jones' Son Stephen -- Hey Ladies, Let's Party ... On My Dallas Cowboys Bus!! | TMZ.com

The Dallas Cowboys finally played like champs last night -- not on a football field, but on the Sunset Strip ... where Jerry Jones' son parked a giant team bus outside a nightclub and proceeded to pull a bunch of hot chicks.

None of the Cowboys players were there, but Stephen Jones -- Jerry's son and the team's Director of Player Personnel -- led what appeared to be a group of team staffers into Bootsy Bellows nightclub. Training camp is about 90 minutes north of L.A. ... so looks like they were taking a party break.

Stephen didn't have anything to say about the big Cowboys news yesterday -- an alleged extortion plot involving pics of his father with two women.

But the best part of this clip ... is the scene ON the bus after they leave the club. The Cowboys staff is holding court with a bevy of club chicks ... the shades come down, and then the bus pulls out.

By the way, they did have a guide -- FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, who definitely knows his way around Hollywood hot spots (we see him out a lot in the off-season).

How 'bout dem Cowboys!

Wow! Rich guys like to party and enjoy strippers. Other then Jerry's wife who cares.

I have gone to strip clubs as a married man and my wife knows. Honestly the best place for a married man to go and not get laid is most likely a strip club. They want your $ not your cock.

Going to a strip club in and of itself is no big deal. Going to one near LA (paparazzi heaven) in a tour bus with a giant Cowboys logo on the side while your high profile father is dealing with his current situation involving strippers, well a polite way to put it would be an err in judgement. It would be like if one of Jim Irsay's kids a couple of days after his 'DUI arrest' was caught buying drugs off the street while wearing an Andrew Luck jersey.

Yup. Jerruh is in a position to chastise players for even the appearance of impropriety yet symbolically he just waves his johnson with impunity all around SoCal. Why should Dez Bryant behave when Jerruh won't?

Question: does Stephen Jones have a wife who cares about this?

If Cousins was worth a 2nd someone would have traded for him already.

Re: Around the League...Training Camp Style!

Cousins has always been inconsistent, running hot and cold. If Reiss only saw him when he was hot then he did not witness the whole story.

Re: Around the League...Training Camp Style!

Isn't Cousins performing well in practice a good thing? Why is it that so many fans get so butthurt about RG3 being criticized? To me that means if RG3 doesn't play well we have one, maybe two guys that can step in and perform. Gruden has already said that RG3 "is a work in progress" so it's not shocking that people from the Pats are saying this. In the end who cares? It's a pre season practice where some players may be off a bit. To be fair to Griffin, these obviously were not live practices so his playmaking ability isn't going to show. Is it possible to get to week one before we start the QB controversy? lol.
