Who is this "everybody" who thinks Cousins is better than RG3? The guy has 4 career starts!
Yeah, I agree with you on this. Kirk Cousins has 236 career passing attempts and 10 INTs on it. Extrapolated out to the average # attempts the Washington NFL team has attempted over that last 3 years, that'd be 28-29 INTs a year.
RG3 hasn't looked great last year or this one, but he hasn't been 29 INTs bad. I don't know where this "Kirk Cousins is worth a first round pick/is a starting-level QB" junk is coming from. Based on what? Preseason games, spot duty, and terrorizing Jacksonville?

It's the DC "Off with his head!" mentality when it comes to our sports teams.
RG3 padded his stats last year due to playing from behind, but him 100% vs KC1 100% is still not a competition. One guy won a Heisman trophy and had the most prolific rookie season the NFL has ever seen…. the other was backing him up.
I'll still support KC1, but I wasn't clammoring for him to start. Everyone who wanted him to start were scremaing for Todd fucking Colins to start.

So did Tim Tebow.
And Troy Smith.
And Jason White and Eric Crouch and Gino Toretta.

huh? RGIII sucked all last year and in the first game of this year…. he is not a pocket passer .. .if he can't run anymore because he is so fragile what is the point?
I think it took Jay Gruden 1 game to realize that and opened the 2nd game with Read Option. I think not at least teasing the dual threat limits him as a threat. I was hopeful they would figure it out but now it looks like it won't be this season.

Archie Griffin won the Heisman as well. Any relation?

He won two Heismans, so he is clearly twice as good of a quarterback as RG3, despite being a running back. It's just simple math.
