I agree with Chico' and 'ok. If there is interest in Cousins, look into it. No need to have two different types of QBs on the roster.

So if Griffins knee is not ready until October/November you would start Pat White?
C'mon man......

Concur! How could anyone watch Kirk Cousins perform last year and decide that he should be traded because he plays a different game than RGIII? You go with best player available at the QB position and adjust the offense accordingly. Kirk Cousins is a top 32 qb in this league and would be a starter on any number of teams. We need to keep him for a minimum of this year and most likely at least 2 more seasons till we can draft another qb in the later rounds and develop into a backup.

Pat White would have to have an AMAZING camp to have a chance to make the team, and there is no way his spot comes at the expense of KC's. Either Grossman or another positional player would be let go.

You keep Cousins because he has shown he can be handle step in pressure situations and he is cheap. Why would you trade that when your superstar qb has yet to complete a full season healthy.

Vick is not Griffin, but the Eagles would have been in a much better place, knowing Vick is going to miss 3 games, and having a backup who is capable to lead them to wins. Look at when Roethlisberger missed the 1st 4 games of a season, the Steelers had their backup come in and go 3-1.

It is ok to have quality players as depth on an NFL team, even if it's not the VC Skins way.

No guarantees White even makes the team.

Cousins isn't going anywhere.

That is one of the dumbest things I have heard.

Yeah even golic seemed surprised he'd think that

Nor should he. I'm a huge fan of his, eventually he'll be gone though but I hope not for another full season.

[MTK]

I feel embarrassed for Greenberg if he seriously thinks Cousins could/should be traded because we might pick up White.

[Meks]

honestly, i think he's just stirring the pot, it's part of his job.. anything to get reactions from people positive or otherwise... which he obviously succeeded in doing... judging by the posts here. lol

What MG was basically saying was if Pat White can succeed here he makes better sense as the backup QB because the offense would be run similarly to how they run it with RG3. He was using White more so as a hypothetical. Just saying that in the long run a QB similar to RG3 makes more sense than Cousins. I don't necessarily agree but that's what he was saying

Neither do I.

Cousins showed last year that we don't need a backup with similar traits to RG3 to be successful. And Kyle S. was able to change up the game plan accordingly. This isn't a one trick pony type of offense.

I like this free agent approach. The cap hit is a blessng in disguise. Next year we get to have another "advantage" and Mara can't stop it.

We really won't be able to tell if it was a blessing in disguise until next offseason when we 1) can see what our W/L record was, 2) accurately assess the holes that couldn't have been filled in FA this current offseason.

I've heard a few people call it a blessing in disguise, but I think it's too early to tell.
