Its either

Which one folks?

I think it's ridiculous to say he CAN'T throw the ball downfield. We've already seen him do it multiple times since he's been a Redskin. The last two weeks he's put a couple of deep balls right on the money to Jackson.

I don't think it's a trust issue anymore, although I think it WAS one earlier in the season. Particularly against Miami and Atlanta.

You have to remember that we didn't have Jackson most of the season. Still, no excuse not to try and take some deep shots. It's a good question and one that needs to be addressed.

most of the routes are short...Im not really talking deep ball, which we he doesn't throw much at all either.

Im talking the mid routes...balls throw over 10 yards to 20 yards, 25 yards. The o coaching staff doesn't have him throwing these pivotal routes. Why is that? the pass protection is better, so there is more time.

Cousins seems limited

He can make those throws as he had an in breaking route to Garcon right after the pick. He had two nice short post TD passes last week that were into tight windows that went for TD's. What are you looking at??

He's a system QB that needs a clean pocket to be an effective QB. He obviously does not have the talent level of a Cam Newton.
