RG3 needs to get back up to speed and in football shape? That's what practice and conditioning is for. Griffin did darn well with zero NFL experience his rookie season, he'll be fine. Playing him like we have, we're lucky not to be 0-4 and RG3 knocked out of this season, IMO.

Start Cousins till RG3 is 100%. I mean full mobility the knee brace is off 100%. It's better for RG3 and the Skins.

I disagree with everything you wrote about starting Cousins over RGIII.

RGIII is our QB now and hopefully for many years to come. He needs the work he gets in games to develop into one of the top few QB's in the NFL. If he were not well enough to play, then he wouldn't be on the field.

Also, with the way the Redskins played so poorly on defense against Philly and GB, it is very doubtful that Cousins could have made any difference in the outcome of those games. In the Detroit game, we were one dropped pass away from a win.

Cousins looked better last season than Griffin has so far.

Yes I want Griffin to be our franchise QB for the next decade or so. Let him get his work in practice and exercise until he can take the knee brace off and plant during throws and run like he did when healthy last season.

The Eagles game would have been different so who really knows, but Cousins probably would have passed better, and with fewer turnovers, so we would have had a better chance of winning a great comeback game. I mean, cmon Griffin was throwing off his back leg most of the time.

The Packers game, yeah our O wasn't going to keep up with what our D was giving up.

The Lions game, we win that game with Cousins passing, especially with two games under HIS belt at that point. Raiders game ditto.

I feel like we tanked the first quarter of this season, for the privilege of putting our franchise QB out there hurt to see if he gets knocked out for the season. Thankfully that hasn't happened, but I think we threw away a win or two just to put RG3 on the field for pride's sake.

I think the only game we played that was winnable with Cousins at quarterback was Oakland, which was a win anyway.
