no, not what i was thinking, just give him some more regular season experience.

it may actually hurt his trade value if he slings it around like he did last week. very early in his career/not enough playing time to speculate on that, though.

Anyway, he was fine in practice today so he'll probably play on Sunday. I'm actually more interested in seeing if they make Rex the #2 QB this weekend. Though I suspect they'll stick with Cousins

I was going to ask who was getting more snaps this week Cousins or Rex - being up hear in Jersey it aint exactly front page news. Im hoping for Rex, just in case RG3 doesnt play. Did I just say that?

edit: if the season were over I would want Cousins on the field, but I believe rite now Rex would give us the better chance to win. Obviously knows the offense better than Cousins and has the experience.

I got concussed reading this thread i started about the game. Doctors have cleared me to post after this one immediately. Although the Warpath has me out 3-4 weeks.

I think some of the people here handled Deon Sanders turf toe, and Landrys ankle.

You actually started it about the game and hoping RG-3 would play this weekend with a link to the article about his concussion. Did you think that was not going to lead to talk about his concussion?

Yeah, I didn't realize we had so many professional doctors before I made the thread, and it made more sense to start the game thread with information about the upcoming game then make a thread about RG3 and if he will play.

I think I'm suffering from a concussion watching this thread. Just now, Matty asked me which page we were on and I couldn't tell him.

[punch it in]

I did. I know. Im embarassed.

[los panda]

all i can say is that if griff sits out, it better be because he's having adamantium bonded to his bones

No need going backwards. Cousins backs up RGIII or starts.

Im not sure that i would consider putting the more experienced qb who knows the offense better going backwards. If the season was out of reach than yes lets see what cousins has got. Not now.

I realize we drafted him to ultimately back up RG3. Dont think anyone was thinking week six though. Im more concerned with our immediate season than i am with kirk cousins development or future Rite now id rather go with what i know we have in Grossman and the possibility of good rex than someone who is still wet behind the ears.

Well i would rather give Cousins the experience now, and he be ready to fill shoes sooner then later right? What's he got to learn as the 3rd string? He needs to be ready now, and to be honest.. He looked just as good Rex did all last season against the Falcons.
