I love Cousins, but he may turn to be nothing more than an .500 quarterback who puts up big numbers, but can't take his team all the way. Inversely, the 'skins are 6-4 and at the top of their division. They have lost their starting quarterback, but they're still in a great position.

Is it possible that by season's end, we realize why the Redskins didn't pay Cousins an enormous contract?

Well uh, we paid Alex Smith an enormous contract.

To summarize:

Kirk Cousins: Scores td's (today notwithstanding), also turns the ball over plenty.

Alex Smith: Doesn't score td's, also doesn't turn the ball over plenty (today notwithstanding).

Pick your poison.
