Does this mean KC will be any of those guys? Absolutely not, but it does mean that one game or several bad games does not in and of themselves a bad qb make.

Yeah, I certainly hope he does well, but I think it is better to assume that this year is going to be very very FRUSTRATING.

If our run game gets going, he might play really well, but the second we get into a shoot out it can get really ugly. The fact that our secondary is still suspect (at best), it's not likely going to be a good year.

People are going to be surprised by Kirks improvement from last year. He will play well this year. I normally don't make bold statemental like this, but I have a few reasons to be confident.

He worked with Jon Gruden in the offseason. He even invited RG3 and 7 WR to his training camp to work with him and his other QB coach. All 7 WR joined and RG3 did not.

He has ELITE pocket awareness right now. His movement in the pocket is on a high level and has been seen in TC and in preseason.

He has put a lot of work in to be the #1 guy. Someone who shows the adversity he has from getting a shot and being benched to working his way to being theb#1 guy again is something we all should look forward to. Having that type of mental toughness behind center will prove to be worthy.

Plenty more things to add but a guy I follow on Twitter has a full report of his offseason work he's going to post. I won't spill it till it is.

I've been saying this for awhile now. You can clearly see that he has improved. I feel that he'll do a good job.

Colt has looked very good, as well. He has looked downright slick in the pocket and he almost always makes the smart play. I think he'll be a very good backup.

Thanks. Totally forgot he had a bad game. He sucks and always will. They should start the QB who never had a bad game. Too bad there isn't one on the roster or one that has ever existed for that matter.

I'm just trying to keep grounded. Last year I remember everyone getting hyped about Cousins, he was our QB of the future after one game, people were ready to trade Griffin, and then Cousins just completely fell apart entirely and got benched. Now he does fair against mostly 2nd team in a preseason game, and people are ready to jump back on his bandwagon again. I really don't think that there is any solid reason to be optimistic about him.

I think RG3 more lost his position then Kirk earned it, and really I think it has as much to do with off the field issues as his struggles on the field. I mean, how is it that Scot wasn't able to tell before the preseason that Griffin was hopeless? Why sign the 5th year option? I mean unless they are sincere about Kirk giving us the best chance, Griffin is still part of the team, and the door isn't closed on him yet. In that case it would make sense to have kept him on only to sit him after he had 1 bad preseason performance for Cousins who had 1 good one, because you could assume then that they believe he has a chanc to develop, but Cousins can help us win now while he does. Or perhaps SM didn't realize how lost Griffin was mentally on and off the field until he saw it for himself and now wants to cut bait quick and eat the losses. I think it's probably the latter, but that doesnt make me feel good about Cousins as our starter or the fact that we've conceded to the biggest bust in history.

I'll be just as excited as everyone else when we win, but I'm not excited about this crappy situation.
