You've seen Kirk Cousins operate smoothly behind the Redskin line after watching Griffin get drubbed in 2013, 2014 and 2015 when he got seriously hurt again. The excuse Griffin fans use to make to explain Cousins being able to run the offense quickly was Kirk was playing against the second string, ignoring the fact that his decision making skills was independent of playing with the first or second string. Cousins is SMART enough to read the field, understand the offense and pull the trigger. Robert doesn't process the spatial information on the field with the playbook in his head fast enough. Griffin just couldn't figure it out even when two coaching regimes invested all the starter reps trying to turn from a sows ear into a silk purse. Cousins has the ability that Griffin clearly lacks. Cousins is far more gifted.
Will Cousins continue to grow and develop into a 10 year starter? I don't know but All good Redskin fans should hope so and the high draft choices are invested in lineman and playmakers not squandered on another quarterback lottery. Think of the team we would be watching today if the Skins had spent those 3 first round and 1 second round picks on good lineman instead wasting them on Griffin who is an epic bust.[/quote]
Until last game, Kirk Cousins has had a lower passer rating than Griffin even if you took out his 2012 ROY campaign. Cousins does not look smoother with his picks and noodle arm throws. No one in the league throws picks like Kirk does consistently for multiple seasons. Griffin was given 7 starts with Gruden compared with 11 for Kirk...and a majority of Kirk's starts are with a much better team than RG3 ever had.
Your "clearly" and "obviously" are not rooted in anything but Gruden pressers and misinformed sentiment in your own mind.
Look at Kirks pick percentage, his passing chart that shows he cannot pass accurately past 10 years and his QB rating. These things can be easily googled. None of those things suggest you are correct in your opinion. Why you are ready to write off a 25 year old OROY QB who was one of two QBs to lead the Redskins to a postseason in 20 years? Its because you got suckered by egomianiacal coaches like Shanny and Gruden who are my-way-or-the-highway types. Even Ryan Clark- a former Redskin player and now analyst says as much about Gruden. What about London Fletcher? All guys who played with RG3 and/or Gruden.
You have a right to your opinion but back up your statements with other than weak stuff like" its obvious Kirk is smoother" especially when you are calling people clueless. It makes you look clueless and a bit homerish-which I don't think actually. Kirk engineered a come from behind win at home against the worst team in the league. It's only a big deal because he is a backup QB.
Captain Clutch it is - now we have 2 weeks to get ready to take down the Patriots
