Kirk Cousins Expected To Start Sunday

[SFREDSKIN]

I want Cousins to do well, I see this an opportunity for him to get us a high pick for him. On the other hand, he could also be a bust.

What's going to happen is there's going to be a full blown QB controversy come training camp. In the end, as Redskin fans, don't we just want the best guy to play? If that's RG3, Cousins or Pat White, I just want the best guy out there. Some of you are too wrapped in your emotional investment with RG3. lol.

I agree with this , of.course I want the best to play

I don't have any investment in either QB, I'm just done with this season as a whole. This latest fiasco only cements that.

You're just early in the 12 step process, still angry and whatnot. Hang in there Matty better days ahead in DC.

I expect more of the same from Cousins. Honestly he may have a decent game against ATL in the dome and against that bad defense. It will be interesting to see the kind of effort that the team gives him.

So Griff is shutdown now for the rest of Shannys tenure here. Can we be assured these last three weeks is the rest of his tenure? He will not be back next year rite?

I know I know, why would they use the option then if MS didn't think it was a viable scheme? Because they just drafted a mobile QB, one they discovered was having trouble with the play book (maybe just speculation). So the best thing to do is instead of forcing RG3 to play like he's not accustomed to then why not tweak the offense to be able to do what your QB can do? As an example I've heard media pundits complain that RG3's foot work is horrible, and they don't know why MS didn't work harder with RG3's footwork. It's because it takes time and some QB's never get it right. So they might have bailed on the footwork, bailed on RG3's throwing motion, and said lets just do what he does best which is the read option and QB option. <and it worked.

Then the second year was a disaster and the pro defenses have started catching up with the read option. You as HC have also learned that your prized QB has difficulty reading defenses. You'd rather start the back up but know it will cause waves in the organization especially after so many draft picks were given up to get him.

There's been times he's run even when his receivers were getting open. I'm not sure what it would take to fix that.

A full offseason with a real coach for starters. Another wr, and lets throw in a side of lineman.

Giant, Eagle and Cowboy fans at work always make fun of the Skins this year after each game saying how last year was just a fluke and we are doomed to failure...

This is such a train wreck, they have quit talking about the Redskins or football in general around me... That's how bad this Circus is... Fans from our hated rivals actually feel bad for me being a Skins fan, they have laid off this week...

What sucks about Griff being inactive is now i feel obligated to watch KC just out of curiosity. Damn.

Here is Cooley's comments regarding RG3 and the coaches.

Former Redskins tight end Chris Cooley made an appearance on CBS Sports Radio and said that he believes that head coach Mike and Kyle Shanahan are not convinced that Robert Griffin III was the guy they wanted to draft.

“Over the last year and a half Mike and/or Kyle are of the belief that Robert (Griffin III) isn’t the guy they wanted,” said Cooley. “That it isn’t necessarily their pick and he isn’t developing the way they want him to develop. And it’s been very tough for them. And the same time, Robert is everything to the Washington Redskins.”

“I believe that it’s not necessarily just hat relationship, but it’s that ultimate belief that they’re not going to be able to win football games with their style of offense with this kid. And they’ve came to the conclusion that the best way is to cut ties as early as possible.”

If Shanahan is ready to move on from Griffin, then he clearly missed when he decided to draft him.

Cooley also went on to say that he believes Shanahan doesn’t think he’ll be able to grow with Griffin as his quarterback and that they’re on completely different pages
