Cousins Saga 4.0. Is he done in DC?

[skinsfan69]

I don't think the dropoff from Kirk to Colt is drastic. From what we'd lose in arm talent we'd pick up with more playmaking ability. I remember a few years ago most of the fanbase was saying the EXACT same thing about Cousins. Most people were calling Cousins Rex Grossman...lol. My thing w/ Colt is he hasn't played in years and is he durable?

Definitely not durable, he tends to scramble around and take shots, so a solid backup would be a must.

I like to amend my previous statement also to add..."and lastly we don't draft a QB this year"


I think the drop from Cousins to Colt is significant. We woulda easily been a double digit loss team this year with Colt.

It is one thing where you come in off the bench and opposing defenses do not have time to game plan you. It is completely different when you are the starter and the book is written on how to beat you. Colt will get killed once NFL defenses have time to game plan him.
Colt will be concussed by game three and he can join Jordan Reed on the injury bench next year.

Colt can't finish a 16 game schedule. He will get hurt.

I would have agreed with your first statement 2 years ago but kirk has really developed as a QB and his understanding of the game has improved dramatically since then.
