Who is Kirk Cousins?

I do too, so I obviously think what you want to see from him is fair. That's why he's not a finished product.

Would you say he's getting there if he can produce two or three good games in a row with one or two poor games in between the good ones?

Not really. To me, that's his current MO.

Only the elite QB's are good nearly every time out. To me, it seems that
you may be setting the bar too high at this point in his career.

Kirk needs to to continue to improve, as does every other player on this team. By the time we get the right players in place to win big, then I think Kirk will be a much better QB than he is now.

I wouldn't try to rank him at this point but I will say that I believe he hasn't nearly reached his full potential. As he gains more game experience and continues to progress, I think that most of us will begin to regard him as much more valuable than we consider him to be at the present time.

He got a key weapon back (Reed) against TB and he used that weapon well. I'm eager to see what he's able to do with with a full complement of receivers: DJax, Reed, Garcon, etc. It could be very exciting.

This. There are alot of smart people in the NFL that are high on kirk. I would imagine they know alot more about his potential than some guys on this board.

Cousins!

This season he has only had two bad games (Giants and Jets) a couple good games and a couple great games (Eagles and Bucs).

He spreads the ball around nicely and gets it out quick. I think given time he can and will be a really good NFL QB.

Was listening to Cooley's film breakdown yesterday.There wwere a couple of throws that cousins made that I thought were terrible throws that Cooley said he thought the same thing till he watched the film.There was one to Crowder where he had to reach back and looked like he almost broke his leg reaching back for it.I thought that was a bad throw but Cooley said in his film breakdown that was a great throw,that it was placed where it needed to be and it kept Crowder from being laid out by the defender.Who knows? I know Cooley has a lot more football x's and o's knowledge then I do

He did. He took the harder big boy throw between the zone of 4 defenders a fit it in for a first down.

Maybe kirk becomes another Romo like QB I hope so but it remains to be seen. The NE game is colossal for the redskins, can u imagine the circus if we beat them??

We have not beaten them since 2003.

Nevermind the circus, I really can't imagine beating them. In Foxboro. With no running game. With no one to handle Gronk. With Belichek having extra time to prepare. etc. etc. etc.

OK, that does it, we're gonna win. HTTR!

And Gruden is 1- 11 (i think) on the road. Yup this is the turnaround game!

What do we make of the pretty strong under-current of Twitter football "experts" who spend their time pointing out for example how Cousins played pretty typically average last Sunday?

The types who seemingly have some clue about football and who watch the all-22s and show how a good play could have been better with a better throw and so forth?

They seem to want to continue the narrative that Cousins isn't very good, and they may be right, but at the same time I can't help but think if we all-22'd Aaron Rodgers we could do the same thing...nit pick even good plays and how they could ave been better.

I'm kind of expecting a loss, and all I ask is that they don't take the Pats to the last minute and break our hearts. I've had enough stress from this damn team all season, for better or worse.

If you're going to get blown out, get blown out. If you're going to win, make sure we know for damn sure before the last 3-4 minutes. My heart can't handle any more comebacks, Skins or otherwise.

I need to see consistent play for multiple games AND I also need to see him perform on the road. Something he has yet to do with the exception being the one game in CLE in 2012.
