I think Rg3 will be the type to welcome the competiton.

i don't think there will be a competition. RG3 is the starter. Unless hes a complete bust, Cousins is a backup, and will remain a backup as long as he's on the team.

The plan was probably to groom him and have two starting caliber QBs entering the 2014 season. Trade Cousins and to recoup one of the 1st rounders we gave up for Griffin.

What's the chances that Cousins will be worth a 1st rounder by that time? Sure, if he gets a chance to play and do what Matt Flynn did for Green Bay last year. But Flynn wasn't worth a first round pick only because he played in only two game in which he did well. It's not like he'd been a starter or had consistent playing time. The only way we'll get a 1st or even a 2nd round pick for Kirk Cousins is if Robert Griffin III goes down with an injury and Cousins comes in and plays so well that he increases his trade value tremendously.
