You can bet McCloughan will try to draft a better one if he gets the chance in the upcoming draft.

With all due respect, in light of his age and experience - both off the bench and in limited starting opportunities from previous years:

Yes.

[Although, many more multiple pick games and I am less sold on the "our best QB" issue. Multiple consecutive INT free games from Colt, even if the ball never travels more than 20 yards in the air, makes for a better QB than Cousins.]

Campbell and Griffin were 1st round picks with elite physical skills so they obviously were going to be given time. Fair or not KC doesn't have that option.

Where is the guy that threw for 400+ last year? Or 12 Clev? Or Atl in 2013? I want to see that guy who was throwing and making decisions with authority. We've seen him play at a high level but the spurts of poor play always seem to creep up.

Just not sure KC is a 16 game starter. He needs more time and all his weapons. But maybe he's just better in the backup roll vs. the pressure of being a 16 game starter. I'm 50/50 on it.

Whatever KC is I just want Gruden to not fold under the pressure of the media/fans and bench him. Playing McCoy is a complete total waste of time. I'd rather risk the 16 mil and play Griffin if KC is benched.

So glad you aren't our GM.

If I were the GM I NEVER would have given him the 16 million for 2016 in the first place. Pull the thread up. I was very against it.

You also have the understand that this is the fan in me talking. If I were SM there is no way in hell I would let him see the field.

After being named the starter to the 2015 season Cousins has been very sub par... is Cousins a developmental quarterback who will one day mature from his turnover issues...or is this who he is and will never get better?

I only know Kirk's skill set and his previous production levels.
I don't know what he is or what he'll become.

Right now he is the preferred starting QB for a HC whose judgement is rightfully being called into question.

This is without a doubt the best answer to my question that I've seen yet.

There's no way I'd put Griffin back on the field. Ride it out with Kirk.

Seriously. He can't even execute simple high school things like 3 step drops. Nor can he read his progressions. Not to mention the abysmal pocket presence. Why would anyone want to put him on the field? For once just trust that the staff knows what they're doing. Right now Kirk is the best of the worst. Going to the worst of the worst is not going to help.

Cousins has been given time. He isn't a rookie. He is who he is and he has regressed this year. He isn't putting good games together rather he is using a good game in between his spurts of bad gameS.

Exactly, his last 2 games have been as bad as Rex would have.

Cousins should start the rest of the season.
- He may get better w/DJax in lineup, but he's probably a backup.
Griffin should stay on the bench, try to trade him, but if not let him go in January.
- I'd bet Griffin goes to Eagles and does really really well
We should draft a QB replacement next year.
Should also draft a good WR to replace DJax / Garcon.

We still have a chance at winning the division if we get hot.
But more likely we'll be 6-10 and will have a top 10-15 draft pick again next year.

If they pay Cousins much more than the equivalent of a ham sandwich, my trust in Scotty McC will be severely shaken.
