Cousins to start 2015 Season

[JoeRedskin]

Griffin being off the team helps the on field product in any number of ways:
1) Team need not worry, or develop contingency plans of a $16M cap hit for an injured unavailable player.
2) It removes the off the field drama/distraction that swirls around RGIII endlessly and allows the other 52 players to focus on their on the field product without being questioned about RGIII after every practice or game.
3) It opens a roster spot for someone who may actually play rather than sit on the bench for 16 games out of fear that he may be injured.
4) It moves on from a QB that has shown an inability to play in the current system and whose past injuries have removed what made him special in any other, non-drop back, system.

Lots and lots of ways RGIII makes the on field product better by being off the team.

How does his being on the team make the current or potential future roster better?
