The flip side, which I'm sure is hard for you to see, is that while Griff isn't a fit for J that doesn't mean he's not a fit in another offense. And IF that is true then it would be a mistake to get rid of Griffin IF J (the reason Griff is gone) fails.

By keeping Griffin the team hedges against a J-Kirk failure.

The 5th year option is still an issue but outside of the money (which can be massaged) getting rid of Griff doesn't bring any gain on the football field.

But getting rid of Griff would keep Cousins from looking over his shoulder and remove a message that perhaps the organization lacks confidence in Kirk?

BTW does anyone else think the reason they kept Griffin is that they think that Jerrah Jones might pick Griff up if he was cut....sounds like a Jerry Jones move and Jones would enjoy sticking it to Snyder if he somehow managed to turn RGIII into a good QB!!! And after all who do the Cowboys have as a backup and successor to Romo---Weeden certainly is not their answer! Just a thought!

If you cant handle having a backup QB behind you that might possibly push you, then you cannot handle being a QB in the NFL. If Kirk is worried about RG3, then the Kirk experiment is already a failure. This was the same thing that was said about RG3 when they drafted Kirk.

As for Jerry Jones, him and DS get along fairly well. I dont see Jerry taking RG3 as a way to screw with DS. If he picks him up, it will be because he thinks he still has something left. To me, the main one to worry about is the Eagles if we are going strictly on NFC east teams.

And that is what I am worried about...that there will be enormous pressure on Kirk to try to be perfect in every game. Also as soon as Kirk has a bad game, Dan Snyder will be pushing for RG3 to take over as the starter.

That may actually be a possibility...and I agree that it would just be like Jerry Jones to sign RG3, just to piss off Dan Snyder.

Plus, Jerrah likes the razzle dazzle and don't forget he wanted Johnny Manziel but cooler heads prevailed and Stephen Jones won out and the Cowboys ended up with a much needed OL instead....but still Jerry likes the flash and dash plays and would love the attention if he managed to turn Griffin around....
