"Let's stop beating around the bush," Theismann said during the broadcast, according to The Washington Post. "Kirk Cousins has played much better at the quarterback position than Robert Griffin III has. Now, Robert is learning to work out of a pocket. He doesn't look as smooth or as comfortable throwing the football. I mean, your eyes will tell you everything you need to know.

"It's going to be a decision that Jay Gruden is going to have to make. Right now, Robert Griffin III is his quarterback. Now, if there was a quarterback competition, it wouldn't be a competition. Kirk Cousins would be the man I believe he would have to go to, because of the efficiency with which he has run [the offense]. Now Kirk, like I said, is basically a dropback quarterback. I see Andy Dalton in Cincinnati, I see Kirk Cousins that way."

"I think there's going to be a lot of conversation after this football game regarding the quarterback position," Theismann said on the broadcast.

"You can't avoid it. Your eyes don't lie to you. Robert has struggled in the limited opportunities that he has had. And Kirk Cousins has seized the opportunities that he has had when it comes to playing the position and understanding the offense."

"Kirk Cousins did a very good job tonight getting the ball out of his hands," Theismann said. "Decisive with the ball, very accurate when it came to throwing it, and his decisions were very good as well. So it was a very complete second half for him. And you can say it's against the second team, you can say he's with the second team. It doesn't matter. He did a heckuva job tonight."

Honestly I'm not gonna judge RG3 till after the 15-16 season. Give him some time to learn the new system and let Gruden get some some fukking Olinemen. Every team with a pass rush or good DT will eat us alive this year. Week 1 is gonna be :sadcam:

As for cousins....let's hope they can talk up cousins enough to trade for a 2nd rounder or a RT

I wish we could up the RG3 vs. Luck thread, man. I said from the jump that after watching a bunch of tape on RG3, I wasn't sold on his ability to stay in the pocket and beat you as a passer. Dudes were pointing out his high completion pct and td/int ratio, without watching his tape. He threw bubble screens to Kendall Wright all day, or went deep off play action and his receiver was usually open.

The game was simplified for him tremendously at Baylor, and even his first year in the league. But if you give NFL D-coordinators a year of tape to study and prepare for you, best believe they're gonna focus the game plan on your weaknesses and make you beat them that way. RG3 hasn't shown the ability to do so yet, and he's too fragile to play the reckless style that he excels at.
