Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?
Don't want to hijack this thread but since Rambo was brought up, I will say that when we drafted him most analysis on him said that is was purely based on potential because of his athleticism and physicality. He definitely was not an NFL-ready player, not even by rookie standards.
With that said, not every team is in a good position to sit around and wait for someone to take 3 seasons to blossom. If I remember correctly, when he was drafted, injuries at the position forced him into a role he was clearly not ready for. The ideal situation for a rookie Rambo would have been a late round draft pick up for a team that is already pretty solid in their secondary so he could sit back learn the system, hone is skills, and then slowly be implemented into the game.
I think him being cut from our team was justified at the time. It doesn't mean he still didn't have potential to be a good player one day, it just wasn't a good fit here. Also, before we go crowning him a "stud" He has still looked prety iffy at numerous times this season. One great game will not define him.
