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.
