Nope, doesn't count. It's Cleveland man.

Isn't that where our backup Colt McCoy came from?
In Cleveland, Colt McCoy lost his starting job to Brandon Weeden, then lost the back up QB role to Jason Campbell. What does that say about Colt?

Would have to totally agree with that.
He had a monster game in Cleveland. On the road too continue a run to the playoffs? That's the one people were drooling over. Cleveland's fans were saying our 4th round qb was better than their first round qb weeden.

I don't think Cousins has had enough of a look to really gauge what type of player he is or more importantly what he can be. His results so far are about what you can expect from a young QB with a handful of starts over 2 seasons.

Re: Cousins Open to Trade.

if you look back at that cleveland game, it really wasn't very monstrous. 2 tds 1 int 330 yards. nothing special.

first career start? completed over 70% of his passes on the road? 104 rating for the game? come'on that's pretty solid effort

Yeah, nothing special for a rookie making his first NFL start on the road.

patrick ramsey had 2tds, and 270 yards against tennesse on the road. how'd that work out?

or jason campbells 2 TD and 93 rating in his first showing, again, future HoFer, right?

1 okay game against a terrible team is just that, an okay game. he didn't throw for 400 or 5 tds or whatever. he was fine. want to talk about last year's 52% completion rating? wouldn't that be more indicative than his first game when no one had tape on him?

To me it's impossible for anyone to judge a guy off of 4 starts. He's done a lot of good things in those starts. Actually he almost had 400 against Atl. But he's shown a quick release, good footwork, and good deep ball. He's also done some things ( throw late and behind) that I would expect from a young QB. I do think the organization (and the fans) are assuming Griffin is going to be a great QB. I'm just not sold on that yet.

1. Griffin needs to show he can protect himself and stop playing reckless.
2. Show he can run a pro offense and stop doing the back peddle when his first read is covered
3. Show that his knees can hold up for a full season

If Cousins is traded, which I would expect to happen, then McCoy is the back-up. That's not good enough for a team that has high expectations.

Don't all teams have high expectations?

KC is an average backup qb. If he were the starter people would be clamoring to draft a new one.
Nobody is going to trade for him, he's not worth the 4th rounder the skins gave up.

Re: Cousins Open to Trade.

I'm not sure there's anyone left at RP that stands on the table for Kirk. Colt, on the other hand

Kirk has the Shanastank and it won't wash off.

What in the hell does anyone over there see in McCoy? Baffling to me.
