Tell you what, we’ll keep Cousins warm so that you guys can trade for him in 3 years. After all, you guys are playing a 29 years old rookie QB whose physical and mental capability have already fully matured and reached the ceiling.

Now for those people who said that the ‘Skins won’t trade Cousins away, think again. Maybe that won’t happen this year but in 2014 or 2015? You can bank on a trade if Cousins continues to develop and learn. They certainly won’t just let him play out his rookie contract and end up with nothing in return.

The fact is, QB starved teams have been very willing use their assets to acquire backup QBs that have shown starter potential. The Cards parted with a second rounder and Rodgers-Cromartie for Kolb. KC trade their high second round pick for Cassel. The Texans used two second rounders to get Schuab. Hell, even Flynn managed to land himself a 26 million starters contract after just two good starts. Remember that Cousins is a 4th round pick so if the ‘Skins can get something higher than that in return, it will be a solid return of investment and they won’t hesitate to pull the trigger.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Cards, Jags, Jets, or Chiefs all start knocking on the ‘Skins door regarding Cousins as soon as this upcoming off-season.

Forcing Weeden to throw picks is how you beat Cleveland. If they try to win off the legs of RGIII or the arm of Cousins either one or both are out for the season and the Browns will be able to win off the leg of their kicker.

…Cousins won’t be traded this offseason, but he should be next year or year after if Skins can get a decent return. Need to recoup picks. Grossman is actually the perfect backup for this team. Kyle and he are very comfortable with each other. Look how well he moved the ball last year. With the vastly improved recievers, running game, and O-line play we’ve seen this year, he would be even better and should cut down on the TOs. Will come cheap since no other teams seem to want him. He’s not great, but he’s underrated in this system.

I really loved Cousins in the draft. I wish the Pats could have taken him but they needed all defense. I think he could be the perfect successor to TB. Heck he even looks a little like a blond TB. He’s BB’s kind of QB. Smart, team player, great leader, etc.

As effective as Cousins looked in his cameo last week, he will be making his first NFL start, on the road, in inclement conditions, on natural grass.

wow if RG3 is out for another week and Cousins plays well, could be a blessing in disguise. give the kid a full start before you trade him in the offseason.

Cousins will not be traded this year. The Redskins only trade Cousins this off season if they have someone else who can be their backup QB. And if you have seen the other RG play, you know that do not have someone else who can be their backup QB.

Why would you trade Cousins? You know RG3 most likely won’t make it through an entire season year in and year out. It’s not just RG3, look at most QB’s in this league (concussions, neck injuries, etc), they typically miss a game or two. So, why not keep Cousins? Even though he’s only played a handful of snaps, he seems like a smart and talented QB. He could help this team compete in the event RG3 goes down again. Would you rather have Jason Campbell or Rex Grossman? If you go with a mediocre (or less) as your #2 QB…you better have a stud defense.
