Redskins may be tempted to start Cousins and see if he could carry the game and let Griff rest longer because a mild sprain has a minimum recovery of 2 weeks. But the downside of that is, if Cousins has a bad game then his trade value declines.

With that in mind, If Griff is as healthy as he says he is, he will play.

Nobody should be worried about that right now.

I'd prefer he had NO GAME anytime soon.

This. Let's focus on Winning the game, not how it will affect Kirk's trade value lol... prioritize people!

Im so pissed, we got a five game winning streak going, 2 good QB's, youth, and awesome skill players running around everywhere and the Mayans are going to screw it all up.

Im not worried. Its just a fact, one that the Redskins should and will consider. Like I said before, I like Cousins better anyway and I believe we can sweep the rest of the season with him, so Im good either way.

For the record, Im not for trading Cousins I would like to see him starting full time for the Redskins. Not because I think he is a better QB than RG3 nor any worse, but because I believe odds are he would last longer in the NFL. IMO. Guess we wait and see Sunday.

I wonder if RG3 puts on 20 lbs. of muscle, will people stop thinking that he's fragile? Also, I think as he grows up in the NFL, he'll become more of a pocket passer.

I don't think he's fragile at all but he does put himself out there A LOT. I respect him for that but any man can only take so much. I agree with the second half of your post but lets hope he becomes a pocket passer while he can still run if you know what Im sayn. HTTR!!!

RG3 is our quarterback. He gives us the best chance to win. RG3 has also faced some pretty good defenses this year. Cousins hasn't faced top flight defenses. Cousins is the backup for a reason. RG3 is the starter for a reason.

Thanks for clearing that up for me but, as I said, it doesn't matter to me either way... I think both men are talented QB's. Apparently, Im not alone.

Read that Bowen has upper bicep torn muscle, he can still play but we can't afford to lose him.
