    Cousins to start for Skins week 1
    ESPN's Dianna Marie Russini reports the Redskins plan to start Kirk Cousins in Week 1 against the Dolphins.
    Russini made her bones as a D.C. reporter, so she is as plugged into the team as any national reporter. ESPN's Ed Werder reported GM Scot McCloughan is "determined to change team culture" and could decide to move on from Robert Griffin III. The mystifying situation surrounding Griffin's concussion may have given McCloughan a prime opportunity to cut ties. Cousins is the owner of a career 59-percent completion rate and has an 18:19 TD-to-INT ratio across 14 NFL appearances.

    good its about damn time...Cousins hasn't been given the ample opportunities that RG3 has and squandered...Cousins has outperformed and outplayed RG3 since his tenure here...Cousins has shown the ability to run Jay Gruden's offense and move the ball down the field and put points on the board...this is his time to grab the bull by the horns and entrench himself as this teams leader and QB...if he fails, then we draft another QB next year...

        Will make no difference. Cousins isn't good. He can't read defenses.

          yes..these so called "running" QB's do not make it in the NFL. Just bring up all the SB winning QB's and you will see all pocket passers. Russell Wilson and or Steve Young would be the only two that would be close but I still would not consider them "running"

            If I mentioned a 1-7 record as starter, negative td-int ratio and a 34 qbr...most would think I was talking about the equally awful Griffin. This team needs an overhaul at the position, but I didnt think there were still people who think Cousins hasnt been given a fair shot. But then again, there are still people who feel RG hasnt either, lol.

                    At what point is management going to realize that jay gruden is the worse coach in the nfl? Keep blaming RG3 for everything when theres alot more wrong with this team then that.

                      Best thing that ever happened to the Washington organization. RGIII blowing another tire. Guy absolutely sucks. Should of stayed in college. FOREVER.

                        the record is deceptive...a few of those games we should have won but the defense let us down...like two years ago against Dallas, 4th and goal from the 11 yd line and we give up a TD?!!...was that Cousins fault?!...stop them, and we win the game...the Atlanta game, Cousins leads us back from a 21 pt deficit and we tie the game late in the 4th quarter but because we are eliminated from playoff contention, Shanahan decides to go for the 2pt conversion and win instead of kicking the extra point which would have sent the game into overtime...the Philly game from last year, Cousins throws for 427 yds and 3 TD's and 531 yds of total offense and 34 pts but our shitty D gave up 37!...was that Cousins fault?!...no more excuses, now...this is Cousins opportunity to shine...time to shit or get off the pot as they say...if he fails or falters, then we draft another QB next year!...

                            we don't know yet what kind of coach jay gruden is because dan snyder was forcing him to play RG3!...just like Snyder did with Mike Shanahan....neither coach liked RG3 because he holds on to the ball too long, can't read defenses, takes unnecessary hits, is injury proned, and has absolutely no pocket presence whatsoever....simply put, he's not an NFL QB!...

                              Kirk Cousins 20 out of 27 for 190 yds, 1TD, and 1INT in the first half against a damn good Ravens defense.......and more importantly no sacks!...funny how well the O-line plays when you have a competent QB!.......oh, and three drops by the WR's!...

                                Cousins is not setting the world on fire either. Neither RGKnee nor Cousins are franchise qb's. Both have proven they can lead college teams to great heights and a nfl team to the cellar.

                                      Jay gruden is dumb dont let the spin of oh he had to play rg3 and thats why hes a shi.tty coach. He will be fired by the end of next year at the latest. He wont have anything else to hide behind. 3-4 wins for this team tops no matter who is at qb.

                                          it's not spin, its fact...RG3 is absolute dogshit...Mike Shanahan knew it...Jay Gruden knows it....RG3 is Snyders boy toy and was forcing RG3 on us...not anymore...we are free at last...If Kirk Cousins starts all 16 games, we will be above .500 (9- 7 or better)...Hell, even Colt McCoy is light years ahead of RGtheturd....HAIL!...

                                                    People forget that Cousins hit a wall and had a 4 INT game last year.

                                                    The media jizzed all over RGIII coming out of college remember, so very few were calling him a bust, and he did have a really good rookie year. Too much crap floating around his head right now in regards to the DC media, his injuries, Coach Gruden, etc. He needs a change of scenery. He won't work in Washington.

                                                    Gotta give Cousins the shot now. RGIII is damaged goods.

                                                      theres zero chance of 9-7. 4 wins tops without RG or with him

                                                        would you care to wager on that?...put your money where your mouth is?...If Cousins is our starter, we will win more than 4 games...how much?!!...I'm talking real money not measly bet points...we'll exchange PM's with addresses when it comes time to pay up...Just let me know something!...

                                                          Watch and root for Sparty myself so like Capt Kirk quite a bit and seen him many games in college only a couple in Nfl though. Was actually hoping my Raiders could work a deal and snag him instead of going with Flynn sorry ass that off-season. Hope he does well for Skins though definitely a upgrade over RGme in my opinion. Bol!

                                                            thanks RP......I think Dan Snyder, Scot McCloughin, Jay Gruden, and others in upper management have finally decided they've had enough of RGme and the drama...hell, forget the drama part, he can't play QB in this league...period...funny all of these idiots on this forum who say he will be a great fit in philly!......RG3 has made it perfectly clear that he doesn't want to run the read option!..that's a big part of the problem itself...I think everyone also realizes that both Cousins and McCoy are more than capable of running Grudens offense to near perfection...I have no problem cutting ties with RG3 and having Cousins as the starter and McCoy as the number 2!...HAIL!...

                                                              Cousins isn't good. Neither is bob. Tough situation. Appears yet another long season in store in Washington
