| Cousins will lead the Redskins to NFC championship next season. In the AFC, Baltimore and Cleveland battle for the number one pick in the draft. |

Ah, but there is justice! I'll add that the poor Jets will be down with Baltimore and Cleveland. Maybe Dallas will join them? |

| I'm watching Matt Ryan drop back and occasionally run the bootleg play against Seattle and thinking Kirk coulda done that. |

Absolutely. I think he would have thrown an INT at some point vs Seattle's secondary, but I believe we'd have won with Kirk playing at the half. |

I'm very biased in this post...fair warning.
If I were Shanahan I wouldn't trade Counsins until we had an even better back up QB.
I hate the hype about this dude so its strange to write this, but look at Russel Wilson. He is a solid QB. He's better than Counsins in my opinion.
Now if we had RG3 and Wilson as our backup, I'd be a little angry in us holding this kid back. I don't believe he's quite as good as RG3, but he's close.
However, RG3 is a few steps above Cousins. Nothing against Cousins, he's a very capable QB and I'd be comfortable if he had to sub for RG3 for an extended period. Not ideal, but I still would feel more at ease.
Just don't see what's wrong with us keeping someone great as a backup. I think the issue would be if the backup was better or at least exactly as good at the starting QB.
Why the thinking that your depth should be sucky players? They're making more money than you or I ever will...so they're getting their apology for not being starters just yet. |

| No doubt in my mind that we could be going to San Fran this Sunday if Shanny would have put the Kirkster in at the half against Seattle. |

Bob the Third had a reconstructed knee in college. It was inevitable this would be an issue later in his career. It was and now it's going to be an even bigger issue in the future. One only needs to look at Michael Vick's career to see the other issue no one is talking about, but is also inevitable...broken ribs. Trade Cousins? Seriously? |

Cousins is the back-up QB - he's not going anywhere for now
we're lucky in a way that RG3 was able to get that right knee looked at and re-done as it were - it should now be a lot better than it would have been if not
actually in a way - having the operation most likely saved us from him having a lot of issues with the fact that ligament was not as strong as it will now be
Cousins is a good back up but RG3 will NOT be taking the punishment he did last season
we'll be fine with these 2 QBs for a while |

Responding to the original post I'd say I'd trade him for someone slightly older but equally good plus a draft pick - like Ryan Mallett and a 2nd. Of course, no one is going to give us anything near that. |

Um, I think Vick has had 1 rib injury in his career When we sandwiched him at the goal line a couple of seasons ago), and I don't think any were actually broken. His curgrgrent problem was concussions, but he was able to return before he did, they just kept him out to see what Foles could do. On a side note:
Mmmm ribs. grgrgrgrgrl |
