Now we're going to have a GUY ON THE BENCH that we used 4 picks to get that clearly needs to work for us to have a future.

We get nothing by playing Cousins. Nothing. It is a lose-lose situation. He plays "well" and immediately we have some BS controversy even though Rob is the only QB that matters. He has to be good or we're doomed. If his isn't our QB in 1/2/3 years then we're terrible. Even if KC is great he won't be good enough to make up for what Rob is supposed to be. If KC "sucks" then we've pissed away his trade value.

We're "doomed" if RG3 is a bust? I wonder if Chicago thought that when Josh McCown came off the bench to outplay Cutler. Look how well Nick Foles is playing? In other words... every single year in the NFL a lower paid or lower drafted guy outplays the incumbent. That's the nature of professional football.

Also the bolded comments simply make 0 sense. So if Cousins comes in a plays like he did against Cleveland then that's not good enough??? SMH. Who gives a damn about a controversy? I want the best guy on the field.
