Rookie of the year? Playoffs as a rook? Division title? All that doesn't mean anything? Ok.

Cousins is still in grade school using that logic.

So he made it to the playoffs his first year being a quarterback. Does he have a ring? Dont they play this game to win the big one, THE SUPER BOWL!

Cousins has 1 win as a starter.

1.

First let me say this, I am not trying to bash RG3. I like the guy. I just thinks hes done. He cant stay healthy.

But KC has 1 win out of I think 5 games he started. Dont take my word for that. But for someone that doesnt get to work with the starting offense all through the preseason and probably most of the season unless if the starter gets hurt. I think he has shown what he can accomplish. Imagine if he actually got to work with the starters during the training camps and all the practices.

He is not done after less than three years. There are a number of successful QB's who were hurt early in their careers.

I hate to see what you think of people you are trying to bash

All I'm trying to say is lets give KC a chance. He is good, and he can only get better. But everyone is all about RG3 and they want to do is talk about when RG3 will be back and ready to play. My thoughts and I believe, it really doesnt matter what KC does or how he plays, when RG3 gets back and feeling good, he will be back in and KC will be warming the bench.

Watch me get my Dwight Schrute on...

False. There is no evidence qb's can only get better after 5 starts in the NFL. Just for shits and giggles, anyone remember Billy Volek? If memory serves, he had back to back 400 yard games for the Titans, and then went on to be a journeyman backup. Anyways, my only point is there is no reason to believe Cousins can only get better from here.

Also, if I may, why do you think Cousins can only get better from here? Do you not feel the same way about RG3? Say what you want about his injuries but there's no way he calls it a career or decides to accept anything less than a starting job when he gets fully healthy.

Honestly I have no idea what road we're going to go down when both RG3 and Cousins are healthy. Anything is possible, especially in the winning-centric NFL. But I think the odds are just as good that we might've seen Cousins' career highlight game last week as they are that he will win a starting job somewhere once this "tryout" is over.

Smoot, did you take out a comment?


Edit: Nevermind I found it, it was in different thread.

But I guess it fits here better.

On what basis are you questioning RG3's intelligence, because he's athletic? that seems like a weak premise.

I disagree that success is defined as that one game. I felt 2012 was a very successful season. I am sure the Eagles felt 2013 was.

10-6, feeling optimistic even after a playoff loss = 3-13, looking like dog shit for an entire season.
