Cousins

[Kanyewest]

Cousins picked it up last week. I thought the offensive line wasn't great and Morris didn't have his best game - with only 29 yards on 12 carries. Seattle is the better team. Even then, Cousins has to prove more - otherwise Griffin will should get another chance IMO.

[Knighthonor]

The starting QB is Cousins' job. Even if RG3 heals in the next 10-12 weeks.

I said that about Kirk Cousins 2 years ago. That he's proving to be a somewhat competent starting NFL QB is giving my original thought credence.

When the Redskins win some games and get to about 5-7, and Kirk is balling, be forewarned that I plan to clown on you, Knighthonor. You serve me up and I return service.

This thread is more than likely moot anyway.

Cousins will be traded during the offseason according to certain "Skins insiders" whose opinions I value.

Why do you think Colt McCoy was signed during the offseason? It sure wasn't to be the #3 QB.

The Skins had a deal done to send Cousins to Cleveland (Kyle Shanahan connection) but their owner stepped in and nixed it.

He's the one who wanted Johnny Manziel.

The Skins envision McCoy as the long term backup to Griffin.


Now obviously this could change depending on Griffin's long term health but right now I'd be shocked if Cousins is a Skin next season.

CCJ, I might have to start an entirely separate thread based on that YouTube video. I don't know if it was the lighting or the colors of the clothes but I think that video you posted nearly triggered a college flashback trip. Though this video is still fairly epic it doesn't compare to yours visually though I think it's their best song:

*Cousins--they aren't dumb enough to bank on RG3 if he's no longer fast are they (don't answer that). It does seem to ring true that Colt wouldn't have agreed to come here as a 3rd stringer w/o assurances one guy would be moved but I don't think Gruden was expecting to like Cousins this much & it's obvious that he does.


Edit--holy cr*p this stuff is pure gold. The CCJ video is still the best but this is a much watch as well--he's totally serious:

Man

I have come to expect Cousins to throw those interceptions.

Its like he get brain lock or something.

Who knows if its something he can fix or not. He still is a young QB so it is possible. But for right now. He is killing them with those INTs.

It's a good thing that was tweeted. Not sure if I could deal with the loss but now I feel better because of this worthless tweet.

It's just the losses stacking up. Sorry for sounding so negative. At least I have the Wizards in 2014/15.

Don't worry about it man.

I'm all about the high draft pick at this point.

[Knighthonor]

He a good back up. The hype of him replacing RG3 was purely white supremacy and most of us know it. Move on from that bull crap, and let him relax and be what he was meant to be, which is a great back up to RG3.

It has zero to do with him being white. Sorry dude that is whacked dump statement.

So I guess those same white supremacy people criticizing KIrk now means what exactly ?

What I suspect is that you are the racist since you are the one thinking race plays a roll in this.

There were plenty of reasons to be positive on what Cousins brings. But with games you get to learn more. He runs some plays really well. But teams are adjusting to him. The O Line sucks. They can't run the ball and Kirk isn't good at making it up on the fly. When that happens, he is an INT machine an kills the team.

Kirk was a huge part of the lose today but lets be clear, there is lots of blame to go around. No turnovers by the defense. Young corners. A bad O Line. No big players from special teams.

After years of sanctions, the team is still short of talent.

I still wouldn't give up on him because he has so little live game experience. Just like I wouldn't give up on RG3 who also has holes in his game that aren't getting help by this offensive line.

None of this has anything to do with race though.

nice deflection.... You act as if racism doesn't exist. Post racial America, yay!!!!
Race played a big factor in the criticism. White supremacy code words were used on RG3 just like Cam, and every other black QB. Stop deflecting from that by trying to play the reverse racism card. I don't fall for that deflection.

Yes the team has many holes, but where was that argument last season when the defense and ST and Oline was crappy? Nope RG3 the knucklehead was to blame. He was a Diva remember?

Smh so come correct with your narrative please.

Loving the back and forth on race between hands and Knighthonor!

I agree with both of you. It's not about race. However, Kirk was being called by some "The Great White Hope," before the last few games.

I don't have a dog in this fight...

With that expression mind, had Brett Favre been the QB with buddies who bred Pit Bulls to fight that would have played differently in the media.

Race plays a role IMO, but ultimately it comes down to plays on the field. As far as Kirk Cousins is concerned, he just needs to stop throwing pick sixes at crucial times. He is playing hot and cold football. RG III is of a different race but he also plays the same way in one respect. Hot and cold.

RG3 was a diva. Are you saying he wasn't ?
There have been white QBs criticized for there personalities. Hell, I used to bust on Joe T all the time. That dude was a diva also.

And plenty of people talked about the O line and why RG3 had to run the read option so A Morris could run because the O line was weak.

Yes .. America has racism. And its both way and not just black and white.

But I fail to see how this has anything to do with RG3 and Cousins in this situation. Specially on this board. You calling out white supremacy was lame. Specially in the NFL. If anything, there is reverse bios against white players at this point.

[Ruzious]

People overrating Cousins has a lot more to do with people just not knowing a football from a basketball rather than being racist.

Isn't that a nice way of me defending them?

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

Ruzious, I am curious about Cousins' bad throws.

Categories of bad decisions, bad throws, pressure-related miss throws, unforced bad reads, jitters, etc can reveal errors that might be correctable.

To me, Kirk is young and has potential. Too early to say overrated is my guess. He's a lot of interceptions away from having a monstrous good QBR.

I think people were just hopeful of Cousins because he showed well as a pocket passer and did some good things in spot duty last year. Plus they were tired on the RG3 drama.

If anything it just goes to highlight how hard it is to be a legit NFL QB. If you have just one glaring kink in your game it can be exploited.

Listening to B Mitch and the gang post game, they were saying Cousins plays great when he sticks to the script. When he tries to make plays, that's when it falls apart.

Doesn't sound like that is a new problem for inexperienced QBs. The NFL game is a ton more complied then college. Players are so much faster. What looks open .. really isn't. Its really just a trap.

Inexperienced QBs often throw a lot of INTs and get overwhelmed. What they need it time on the field to learn and see if they can adjust and learn. 5 starts isn't enough to tell if he can.

He did well last week for no INTs and did pretty well for 3 or 4 quarters this week with no INTs.

Problem with Cousins is once he throws one, there seems to be 2-3 more in his back pocket.

If not for the INT melt downs against NY and ARI, he would have some pretty impressive numbers.

But that last one last night was just horrible. How did he not see that defender sitting there. Thats a huge concern. I can kind of understand the other two. One was over thrown. One was bad timing on a quick one step timing quick hit slant. But that third one WOW.

Kirk Cousins is a career backup.

The end.
