Ebola victims? Domestic violence victims? Thousands that die daily from starvation?
... And Kirk Cousins is the one you 'feel' for?
Uh...I can feel for multiple people simultaneously?
Did I say I DIDN'T feel for anyone else?
I mean, if your wife has a bad day at work, do you say, "No I don't feel for you sweetie. I mean, with those Ebola victims, it's impossible for me to give you any empathy." You must be an awesome guy to be around.

He's a clipboard Jesus going forward, not sure if that would rate another thread or not.

Oh well, it was mostly a fun ride in fantasy. Now it's time to drop this bum and find a new QB.
Getting benched against the Titans? Not sure he can recover from that.

Seems like there is one of these dudes at QB every year. I mean Case keenum ran hot a couple of games last year and is now lucky to be on the Rams. What we usually see in the 1st few games is the reason the guy was drafted/still on NFL roster. After that, the guy has show he can perform well week after week especially after teams make adjustments to take away the thing they do best.

I did, and you are right. Everyone should not have been hyping him so hard. He showed the same propensity for the turnover last year...

I had been saying since Cousins took over after the Jags game that he reminded me of a young Rex Grossman. I've seen nothing again this season that has made me change my opinion. Cousins is a nice backup in this league. He's not someone you worry about having to start a couple games if needed. However, he is not an NFL starting QB. The guy is an INT machine. Only Blake Bortles has a higher INT% this season.For his career, he averages an INT every 21 attempts. That's not someone you want starting for your team.

I guess the question, long term, for Cousins, is: can he grow into a QB that doesn't throw the pick? It does happen with some QBs...they get better. Other guys, like Grossman, just have that INT hard coded in their DNA.
In other words, he's clearly a backup right now (and I hope with how his stock has fallen Washington can retain him as a backup). But, several years down the line, could he grow into a starter?
It's all moot with Washington right now of course, who must live or die with Griffin...

Cousins' problems are all mental. Once he makes that first mistake in a game, it's like he can't get over it mentally and it leads to more mistakes. Could he be a starter at some point again? Sure why not. Who thought Kurt Warner would be a viable NFL starter. But until he improves mentally, he won't be a starter for any NFL team.

Too bad for him he had to start games after Week 3. Probably would have been dealt for a midrounder + gotten a new deal to start elsewhere in the process.

Yep.
Likely went from the next Cassel, Kolb, Flynn etc.... to low paid backup rest of his career. Huge blow to his future bank account.

The original quoted post refers to cousins being considered better than ROY superstar. That would be RG3, who won the OROY.

Yes and he stunk. Like last year when he got a shot and stunk.
The Redskins should have traded him last year when they were offered a 4th rounder for him. Nobody will offer that now. Nobody's offense is built around interceptions.

That's probably the case with all 3 Redskins QBs. You'd think a franchise that is known for having one of the best OLs in the history of the game, would actually try to build a good OL. But, nah.

Haha that was good. I get the chills when this thread gets bumped.
How about him saying he wants to be traded if RG3 starts. His agent probably had to remind him he sucks and he cant do that.
Poor Kirk.

It turns out he didn't say that he wanted to be traded. That was Dianna Marie Russini reporting that, and all the other beat reporters chimed in to disagree with her. Russini breaks some things but she's also pretty quick to report and gets some things wrong, more than others do. She has very nice tweets, though.

Cousins still best QB on this roster. Only one that can make all the throws. RG3 a bust, but no reason to trade him unless you can get back a decent player/pick. McCoy can be a nice backup, but he's only coming back if they trade RG3. There have to be better situations for him than DC. Cousins still has a lot to prove and may never be a long term solution, but he will be the starter if he's in DC. Only reason he wasn't on field all of last year is because management wanted RG3 to have one more shot. He got it, and he sucked.
