The only Redskins QB to light up the scoreboard and hit DeSean deep this year is Cousins... I believe that Colt is starting because Jay HATES, I mean strongly HATES turnovers by his QB... and Colt will be a game manager who won't lose the game... but Cousins moves this offense and puts more points up than any other QB we have

Also... I think it's Colt over Cousins right now because Jay thinks Colt gives us the best chance to win right at this moment... and he feels like he NEEDS the wins. Us fans don't mind losing from here on to get that great high draft pick (that we will just waste... ha)...

but Jay is in his first Head Coaching job in the NFL, trying to live up to his brother's legacy, and sitting at 3-8... so I guess I understand why Colt... but man, I still say Cousins is the best move for the next 5 games to get clear gauge on the future... let's say it's yours from here out... no pressure... and see how he plays...

i agree with all that you said. I think given the choice - cousins long ball alone compared to colt should make him the starter and i couldnt figure out why colt was getting the nod until you said what i bolded ...

i think you are spot on .. its all about the turnovers. with this team, our margin for victory is nominal .. in jay's pressers lately he has been harping on turning around our horrendous turnover ratio ... i think cousins could benefit from playing here now but jay HATES turnovers so he goes with colt .. .
