Cousins is better than RG3 and should start in Washington!

[godkiller]

Cousins is a better QB than RG3 in Gruden's system and should start unless RG3 improves dramatically (one more seasons to go imho). Gruden runs a traditional, drop-back passing system wherein QBs are expected to make quick decisions with the football. QBs are expected to anticipate receivers and throw before clear separation. QBs are expected to read the defence and see patterns. While Cosuins doesn't have the same overall potential, he does have superior anticipation and vision to RG3. I daresay Cousins is more accura then RG3 too. His medium and deep accuracy is as good or better than RG3's in Gruden's system. Pending he cuts down on interceptions, Cousins can be a good starter in this league. Meanwhile RG3 still has much to learn. In summary, Cousins should start if and when wheels come off the RG3 train. One more year/offseason.

I believe Cousins is a better QB than RG3 in Gruden's system. Gruden runs a traditional, drop-back passing system wherein QBs are expected to make quick decisions with the football. While Cosuins doesn't have the same overall potential, he does have superior anticipation, footwork and vision to RG3. His deep accuracy is as good or better than RG3's in Gruden's system. If or when the RG3 experiment fails, which should be next season, Cousins should start.

You should re-read my OP because I added some detail but Cousins is better than RG3 in most everything except mobility and arm strength. Cousins' arm is underrated too. His arm is stronger than McCoy's and strong enough to start imho. Cousins' has a lightning quick release time in Gruden's system as good or better than Andy Dalton's. If Dalton can start, why not Cousins'?

You're just "saying" he has superior anticipation and vision. But facts, end results and our eyes say different.

Dude...he threw 4 ints in one quarter

Flacco and Eli Manning has similar lapses. Yet they too have better anticipation and vision than RG3. While I concede that RG3 has more potential, Cousins is better.

No...they don't. Cousins made NFL history doing that.

Your Just talking fluff for the sake of talking.

Cousins has won one game as a starter, is a turnover machine, and folds under pressure. Hell no. He had his chance and blew it. McCoy >>> Cousins.

This. One of RG3's positives is that he doesn't throw a bunch of INTs. Cousins makes a lot of dumb passes.
