Well done.

And if Cousins starts the first half of the season and goes 6-2. RGIII will still be the starter, but then, the Skins will be able to trade Cousins for a first or a two.

And since Griffin (china doll) is not capable of winning games with his arm, he has limited longevity as a runner.

I also loathe China Doll for his conduct in the NFC playoff game – he was selfish and put himself above the team. It would be one thing to do so when there is a quarterback who has never played before, but Cousins has shown he is more than capable given enough time in a game to get his legs under him.

I actually hope that the China Doll is one and done with his career. Any hope of him ever earning my respect left that playoff game. His teammates should turn their backs on him and let him earn his respect back just like the drug duo of Davis and Williams did through exemplary play.

He’s already walking perfectly fine, and without crutches, not saying he will be back, just saying dont doubt this guy. But I would feel very comfortable with Cousins playing also, he looked like a very good qb against the Ravens and the Browns, in what were must wins. I can garuntee one thing though, RG3 will be getting down or out of bounds every time he runs now, he won’t try to get more then what’s there. HTTR, next year is going to be an even better season then this past year, hater will hate.

Really? If you think Jim Harbaugh replacing Alex Smith with Colin Kaepernick made sense, then putting RG III back in is a complete no-brainer. Simply put, your best quarterback (by far!) is your starter.

Cousins could have won it for them. I could see some interesting stuff going down in Washington in the next couple of years after WAY overpaying for RG3.

We’ll trade you Ponder straight up for Cousins.

I hate being a Vikings fan and dealing with these idiots. Even when I’m trying to read a story that has nothing to do with the Vikings, these morons go out of their way to bash their 24 year old QB that had the 2nd highest QBR the last 4 games of the season and got them into the playoffs. You don’t have to be a fan, man. Just go root for the Patriots. They are what you want. Or should I say Tom Brady is what you want. Please don’t judge all Vikings fans on the half that hate their team at all costs, yet don’t actually watch the games on Sunday.

For the Skins to try and bring RG3 back before that is ridiculous. They gave up a lot for RG3 and to rush him back from a SECOND ACL would not be worth.

My question is, what happens if Cousins is 6-2 as a starter and the offense is rolling. What do the Skins do then?

I agree with freepretzels that Kirk should have came in that playoff game too. Maybe as early as the next possession once the Redskins went up by two TDs. From what I have seen from him, I am pretty certain he could have maintained a lead after being spotted 14 points from Griff.

RG3 needs to be careful in rehab and do it on his own pace like leafeaterx said, he is a franchise QB and even if he has to give Kirk a few starts to heal… DO IT.

That means it was only a couple weeks after his surgery that he stopped using them. Never say never, doubters.

Griffin should just heal on his own timeline, we need him for the next 10+ years.

1) The QB class is so weak that Kirk would have inflated trade value going into the draft
2) Kirk’s development will be stunted yet again when RGIII is ready to take 1st team snaps.
