Cousins Open to Trade.

[That Guy]

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?

True, I think the pressure here to win is higher than a lot of other markets because of the fans base, media and owner.

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.
