I wish they'd start Kirk against the 1st stringers this pre-season. Just to see how he does.

Just might happen next week, with RGIII injuries.

We know how he'd do. He'd do great. As he always does when he's playing the back-up. But as soon as he gets a chance to be a starter, he'll throw three picks in the first half and get pulled by the third quarter.

Im not so sure. We've given RG3 chance after chance, and he gets worse.
We've given Cousins 2 chances...once, he was great and helped us into the playoffs, 2nd chance he was the starter, did very well...and then did ok, then bombed due to picks, then benched. You don't think a guy that is as smart as him cant learn from that?. I really think he can manage games enough for us to win 7. I seriously doubt RG3 can do that.

What was the advantage RG3 had over anyone else?....his wheels....now they are gone...he is far worse at running an offense and inspiring confidence. So why are we sticking with him...I have seen enough, we have 2 practice games left to prep someone else...are we going to waste 4-6 games and the whole season just to prove we gave him every chance possible? Why?....he is clearly not ready....either that or play him for 3 quarters next game to get him some serious reps...and if he gets injured, so what, we have little to lose.

It is obvious to me that the coaching staff opens up the playbook for the other guys. RG3 is restricted to the most basic plays. He plays like a rookie in his 4th year

I agree....I haven't seen any noticible improvement with RG3. He still makes stupid statements, drops the ball, takes massive hits, gets injured and cant get TD's...other than that, he is the best QB in the league.

At this point...I wouldn't mind if we traded him for a 4th rounder....or any competant starting OL/TE/safety/HC/OC/DC/Owner
