Who is Kirk Cousins?

And that will be a very good thing!

The run game had a semi-resurgence against the Giants. It still wasn't very good, but I think the success of the passing game helped open up some holes that might not have been there before.

The TD to Desean, the screen pass to Matt Jones. Those will change a defense's approach in a hurry. The Eagles used to slice up a defense with those delayed screen passes in the McNabb/Westbrook era. They were so good at drawing extra defenders in to chase the QB and he'd toss it right to the RB who was positioned in a vacated space.

Thanks for sharing, that's a great article. It's hard not to like him after seeing him deliver speeches like these:



For me at least, the jury's still out, and will probably be out until the end of the year at minimum. But I think he's definitely made progress from the beginning of the season.

I don't think any of them are actually bible thumpers. They're obviously very religious but I don't see them putting it in your face. Tim Tebow is a bible thumper with an agenda.

I remember one game when Tebow had a mic and he's going around before the game singing about God. Just totally playing to the cameras.

I don't want to go down this road. Let's keep it about Kirk.

Who cares. As long as they can keep their personal life personal and can throw the pigskin down the field on gameday, our QB can be Jesus, Yehoweh, Jah, Muhammed, whoever.

Just win baby, win.

I am happy to see Cousins improvement over the year. I believe it may have been Joe Theismann who has been preaching that this is really Cousins' "rookie year" meaning his first true season as starting QB. He has yet to have an off-season where he is the guy, and it really has been an uphill battle for him in terms of getting reps / practice, etc..

I think next year might be totally different with Cousins having an entire off-season to prepare as the starter. I am no expert but I believe Cousins can be the franchise QB here. He seems to fire up the players and seems well-liked by his team-mates and all of his coaches, something that RG3 didn't have. Cousins just being on the field seems to get everybody fired up and super competitive. It also doesn't hurt that he is a genuine, down-to earth, good person, who is always supportive of everyone.

One thing I really like about him is how honest he is about his mistakes and shortcomings. He has no problem blaming himself for poor throws, poor plays, etc..

I hope this guy is the QB here for the next 10-12 years....

Looking back at this QB saga, KC has really overcome the odds. He's had to deal with not being drafted as a starter and sitting behind Griffin. Only getting spot starts and was up and down, he got benched last year and was third team. Didn't even dress. What did he do? Made himself better this off season but still had to compete to be the 2. He beats out McCoy and then beats out Griffin as well. He has earned everything the hard way. Nothing was handed to him. Whether you like him or not, you have to respect him and the way he goes about his business.

Cousins is going to be a fantastic QB for many years ..the question is will it be in Washington or not. i have been a Cousins supporter for a long time even when he got benched for bad play. He has that calming influence in the huddle ..he is not some head case that will get into trouble with off field antics. This is the first time in many years I have some hope that the Skins are on the right path .

It will definitely rub some folks the wrong way. I am not one them....
