I was soooo happy when I read that Rex was put on the inactive list on Sunday!
Cousins is the future and Rex will be gone next season, if not sooner.
Now is the time to work with Cousins and get him ready to play just in case. Rex may know the offense better then any of the three qb's but he is third best at executing it in a real game. Rex throughout his career has been an nonathletic turnover machine. I think Cousins did out play Rex in the preseason even if the stats do not reflect it. Cousins shows more upside and a ton more mobility. In the long run I would rather go with rookie Cousins now as our backup even if it might cost us a game or two early on if god forbid he had to play. Get past that initial learning curve with Cousins and he will play at a higher level than Rex ever played.
