Griffin Out For Undetermined Time, It's Cousins Time

I see the type of success Luck and Wilson are having, and I can't justify simply drinking the Kool Aid blind anymore... I am still a RGIII fan, but I am a bigger fan of the Redskins... If Captain Kirk has success while RGIII is out, which I think he will, we would be damn stupid to trade him and bank of III staying healthy and reaching his ceiling, how ever high that might be...

Steadily good beats unrealized potential in my book. Truth be told who really knows what Cousins ceiling is, really? Sure Griffin is more athletic and faster but that is not all a quarterback makes. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Drew Breeds don't have those qualities but they have decent careers and their stats aren't too shabby. :-)

I'm by no means saying Big Cous will play as well as those three, just that the jury isn't out on him yet. I'm going to wait and go by how he plays THIS season, then go from there.
