No I didn't. Not even close to what I said.

Well. Then Griffin is relegated to backup duty

As a response to the idea that if Cousins leads the team to the playoffs he'll get the starting job over Griffin.

Which is true. There's 11 guys on the field at a time, with 3 different units playing at different times. In general, the total quality of the team is rarely tied exclusively to one player.

It's completely possible the redskins win 10, 11, 12 games this year with Cousins being a game manager and the rest of the team playing really well. In my opinion that wouldn't mean he deserves to start over Griffin.

He goes out there and leads the team, plays really well, makes big and smart plays, then yeah... He'll earn the job in my opinion.
