Cousins Open to Trade.

We'd be foolish to get rid of Cousins.

Want us to be the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions or Green Bay Packers who swirl down the toilet when their starter misses a game?

Mcown is way better than Cousins.

He was a journeyman who failed to catch on with the Cardinals, Raiders, Lions and Panthers before hitting the jackpot throwing to Marshall/Jeffery/Bennett and handing off to Matt Forte.

Cousins and most other backups would thrive with those weapons too.

McCown had a great run this season but if some other team goes after him based on this season, they're going to be disappointed after they end up with another Matt Flynn.

The difference is McCown got good protection in the pocket and the Bears did an excellent job structuring the offense so it would work for and with him. And he did a great job hitting his open receivers, moving the ball and not making mistakes.

Cousins has not proven he could do any of that and the Redskins o-line can't protect anyone. In no way shape or form is he worth a second round pick but if someone wants to be a sucker and give up one for him then fine.

I thought it was because MCCown was mobile. The Bears o-line was an epic failure. That's why MCCown got so much playing time. The Bears were horrible at pass protection. Besides I thought Cousins was so good with his quick release.

Bears O-line was a strength last year with the addition of Kyle Long and Bushrod. Their injury riddled defense is what killed them.
