I also sort of get the feeling ( based by Jay's and Jon's comments) that Gruden prefers a guy that is more pro ready, a more traditional type of QB to run his offense. It will be interesting to see how it plays out the remainder of the year, and next year.

I'm pretty sure the ship has sailed on this one. Cousins has shown, repeatedly, who he is. Yes he's decisive. Yes the ball comes out quickly. Yes he anticipates where to throw the ball. And yes, he gives the ball away at a highly unacceptable rate because of all of those factors as well. He's slightly above being just a guy because he can accumulate yards and stats but he doesn't put the team in the position to win games because of his negatives. Just like some people were convinced that being turnover prone could be 'coached out' of Rex, it's the same thing here, just a younger version. It's who he was in college and so far, who he is as a pro. Unless we have a top 3 defense who can offset the turnovers, you can't win with a QB like Cousins.

Once Griffin is healthy, he will be the unquestioned starter, growing pains and all because he gives the team the best chance to win.
