Agree with your take on how we should have helped him in this game.
Disagree with the pick though. I was not impressed with him when i watched him in college. Just my opinion.

But the pick wasn't for us to use him long-term, it was for us to trade him 2 or 3 years down the road and potentially get a high 1st or 2nd round pick. I can't argue with that logic.

I presume your talking about Cousins and am wondering what Redskin official and when did they say our plan was to pick him and trade him 2-3 yrs later? I've never heard that. Does it make sense? yeah but that doesn't mean thats the plan. The other idea is that Grossman sucks so bad they wanted a viable back up and the coaching staff liked what they saw in Cousins during the senior bowl.

I really wonder if the thought process wasn't more the fact Cousins came from a pro style college offense and RG3 didn't. In case RG3 struggled they could hopefully insert Cousins and get production until RG3 was up to speed. As it turned out RG3 was better then advertised.
