He is on pace for 16 tds and 24 ints (6 tds - 8 ints through 6 games). Not to good, no

The projections are not good but the idea is for him to get better by playing and turn his numbers around.

In a perfect world, I think he would need to play more before we would come to any conclusions about him as a starter. Unfortunately, since contract decisions loom for both Kirk and RGIII, Kirk's time to prove himself may be shortened. He probably needs to step it up starting with today's game. If Kirk plays poorly today and we lose to Tampa Bay going into our bye week, I wouldn't be shocked if Jay Gruden reinstates RGIII as the starting QB.

I feel like he'd go to McCoy before RG3. I'd be interested in seeing RG3 again just from a "totally curious devil's advocate" sick and twisted kind of way. But all this rigmarole is pretty moot since at least 2 out of 3, if not all 3 are gone in the off-season. I feel like you're pretty much shooting yourself in the foot no matter who you choose.

RG3: Athletic, but not a pocket passer, can't read progressions, deer in headlights
McCoy: Athletic, but weak arm is weak as shit
Cousins: Pocket passer, but a turnover machine, makes bad decisions

Pick your poison.

I would also say that the expectation was for the running game to be the strength and have Kirk be a game manager a la early Roethlisberger and Flacco, but since the running game has been part of a Houdini act they've relied on KC more than desired. I would assume Jay and Sean McVay were hoping KC would be around 3,000 yd pace instead of 4,000.

On the plus side he has been the best two minute QB I've seen on the Skins in a long time.

Amazing with the game on the line. Starting to expect him to come through.

Fired up after a big win, nothing more than that although I'm sure some will want to make a big deal about it. Good for Kirk, he balled out.
