Re: rolling with Cousins vs. Philly.
I think it falls into the camp if your regular QB is out and you need a fill in, he's worth it vs. other fill in (like poster talking about Yates above).
However, I wouldn't bench a regular starter like Rodgers for him.
Vs. Philly could be potentially great or average but probably not horrible. Two sides:
1. Home vs. Away -- Kirk's home splits are way superior to away. I could see the Redskins competing in the game and possibly even winning it, while Cousins only throws for one score. (e.g. imagine a 17-14 type game). Look at his game log game by game...and you will see these types of 1 TD performances thrown in there.
2. On the other hand there are factors that could result in his scoring lots: a.) healthy Jackson and Reed have been associated with his rising numbers, and Jackson (who Philly fans say lack motivation) will be motivated, b.) Philly injured in the secondary, c.) Washington may need to keep slinging it if Philly's offense scores regularly.
So I can see it either way. I'd say good fill in if you need it, but don't go benching your regular starter.
Perspective from a Redskins fan/homer...
Rodgers plays on the road against Arizona and has not been good.
I can see benching Rodgers for almost anyone. If you are in your SB, he wont win anyone theirs.
187 yards and 1 TDs and 1 pick. Because his WRs suck and so does his run game and he barely throws for TDs anymore and his yardage is mediocre at best.
Cousins will do better than that.
