He's slightly above being just a guy because he can accumulate yards and stats but he doesn't put the team in the position to win games because of his negatives. Just like some people were convinced that being turnover prone could be 'coached out' of Rex, it's the same thing here, just a younger version. It's who he was in college and so far, who he is as a pro. Unless we have a top 3 defense who can offset the turnovers, you can't win with a QB like Cousins.

Once Griffin is healthy, he will be the unquestioned starter, growing pains and all because he gives the team the best chance to win.

I have 0 confidence in Griffin's body holding up and it has to be a concern moving forward. That's now three major injuries in 6 years. On top of that he still has to perform. I'd like to see him back on the field as he needs game reps badly. The jury is still out on him.

Regarding KC, I think we see most QB's with few starts under their belts have their growing pains, in one way or another. KC is no different. Is this who's he's going to be forever? There is no way you can say that after 9 starts. Like Griffin he needs playing time. He most likely won't get that here unless Griffin keeps getting hurt.
