That's not what Stephen is saying. He's calling out Skip because Skip was hyping RG3 for long while and thinks it's a bad move to get Cousins to put pressure on RG3. Stephen wasn't saying that RG3 was better than Cousins. He's saying if Skip thinks RG3 is THAT good, then there's no reason to worry about a fourth round pick. He was basically challenging Skips false outrage. But in hindsight, who knows what would of happened if RGIII never got injured. Or if Shanny did the right thing and pulled him out of the game early on. Maybe RGIII would of flourished? Who knows. But RGIII has never been the same after that injury nor will he ever be the same. So glad we have Alex Smith. HTTR!
Agree. Who would’ve though back then that Cousins would’ve outlasted both RG3 & Andrew Luck? I still remember the Broncos trading for Elway after drafting Gary Kubiak in the 8th round. They became close while playing & of course Kubiak came back & coached the Broncos to a SB victory.
Looking back on this from a 2017 aspect Shanahan did the right thing by drafting Cousins. Coach was absolutely correct because RG3 did get hurt and regressed after he couldn't use his legs anymore but thank goodness they had Kirk Cousins there! I absolutely loved the 2012 season RG3 had and he was my favorite player that year but athletic quarterbacks can be figured out. example is Cam Newton. Pocket passers and play calls are different tho. RG3 is and will always be a great athlete and gave us a NFC east title but without his legs he's an average at best passer.
Skip has a love affair with rg3 he swore he was gonna be second coming of Jesus especially after thanksgiving 2012 cus they beat his cowboys ....hidden message he new Kirk could possibly be a sleeper
How did that Kirk Cousins pick work for the redskins this year against, the Giants with the playoffs on the line? That is the only question that matters this year. The KC pick has created a divided mind and that is why they went through undermining their own 1st round pick. Had they have had a coach like the panthers or Harbaugh, RG3 and the skins would be winning today!! They would have known what to do with a spread trained QB. Instead you have a choke artist who can run the table between the 20's with safe, short scripted passes in front of the first down marker against soft defenses. That is why Cousins can't win the games against the better teams and never has.
+C Pope Hey we had to take what we were given!!! RGknee, Kirk Cousins, or Colt Fucking McCoy. Its not like we could just trade for Alex Smith or Drew Brees. Kirk ain't perfect. We all know that. He's far from it. But we now have 2 consecutive winning seasons. and considering where we were, I am very hopeful with what is to come.
Andrew luck and rg3 had so much potential and greatness so sad injuries ended there careers about 5 to 6 years later. Both would’ve been future hall of famers if injuries never happened to them unfortunately… 💯
Luck yes, RG3, no way in hell lmao, stop it. He was phenomenal scrambling, but he was exploited at the end of his rookie year. He looked amazing with the read-option, because it was still a new-ish concept in the league. It’s not like he only played 1 year, he showed for several years he couldn’t get it done throwing the ball without the threat of the run. He had a huge arm, but not very accurate and not exactly the smartest QB. All that being said, he was my idol as a kid who played QB lol
@@NeverSober8008yes he still was/is… you can’t take away what Russell Wilson has done over the last decade after a bad year. His resume is written and will be a HOF when it’s all done
Mike shanahan fucked up because he admitted Russell Wilson was his guy. Instead he drafted josh llerebeus 4 picks before Wilson and went for kirk in the 4th.
You guys are not getting it. What Skip is absolutely correct about is the atmosphere that was set because of what we now know was the underlying reason for drafting Kirk. There is no way possible RG III was going to be successful in that dynamic. Kirk was not drafted to be the back-up. He was always being groomed to take the job. The open praise of Mike S and Jay G of Kirk, and the public shaming of RG III by the same two individuals proves this to be true.
If the colts drafted someone skip would say I hope luck is made of the right stuff etc. .. but because it was RGME skip says F all.why? Because he loves RgME
It is a style of play that is preferred by some coaches. They hired the wrong coach for RG3 and hired the right coach for Kirk. However, you cannot hide a QB who is horrible under pressure defenses and who has questionable decision making with throws. aka Kirk Cousins.
Skip was absolutely right!!!!!! What does a double minded person get? confused and nothing. Diffusion. The problem is they play different style of play, just as Skip said. Kirk will look better initially, but the upside is sooooo limited. Fools gold, I say. The redskins made a critical mistake. Had they had continued with the development, as was done with Cam Newton, this story would have ended differently I am certain.
C Pope he said Kirk cousins was more NFL ready and he was correct lol hahahahahahashha you're an rg3 fan I new it your mad cus he ran your boy out the league so if you think cousins sucks rg3 never belonged in the NFL no team has gave Him a shot I wonder why.....rg3 lover you hahahahahahahahahaha that explains everything
cousins ended up playing a career at the vikings. A waste of a draft pick for my team, but a historical draft in the grand scheme of things. Cousins sucks, hes never gonna be great.. hes another stafford but will NEVER win a ring... the people up north seem to LOVE their quarterbacks, and LET them play FOREVER.... packers, gjants, patriots, etc and 1/10 times it WORKS......... i get it... but lets be real. The people up north have just comitted to the math of 1/10 isn't that bad in the grand scale of shit and keeps us relevant forever.
if Curt cousins was do good why doesn't any team fear him I'm telling you he isn't going to be even close to anyone of the Vikings quarterbacks not Bridgewater 11&5 doesn't have the arm of Bradford who has no legs at all & if Kennan got a chance he wud beat cousins out. the Vikings are a defenseive team that Arron Rodgers destroys. remember that he's coming back with a vengeance to destroy the Vikings cusions will have to put up 51 points caz green bay will put up 50 on their asses gaureenteed.
spiff typical Vikings fan response since McCarthy has been coaching the packers are 16 -6-1 vs the Vikings. the stats that u say Zimmer has against Rodgers are pathetic the PACKERS once they have a playoff spot ease off & let the Vikings win the division so they won't have to face jaurgnautes like the Seahawks in the first round of the playoffs & can't score a touchdown like the Vikings do. if u think a winning record doesn't include who goes further in the playoffs picture ur as usual a insane Vikings fan those worthless regular season stats are meaningless its getting to the playoffs & it's win or go home as the eagles demonstrated when the desomated the Vikings sorry asses with a back up quarterback. who cares what your regular season record is when your always sitting at home watching the pack in the second round as long as Rodgers is healthy. Zimmer has a defenseive team thats it & no quarterback puts up better numbers on the Vikings than Rodgers period. he came back with half a shoulder & threw two touchdowns on you in the first half before they took him out. well give u the worthless NFC north championship & beat u every single time in the playoffs dude or laugh at u when ur sitting at home nursing your NFC championship trophy hateful screaming for what ever team the PACKERS are playing against in the second round to beat them. the Vikings are not a championship team cousins has never been past the first round in the playoffs he's no better than the three QBs u already had. instead of admitting the truth Vikings fans always come up with some pitiful worthless stat. give it up dude ,. if Zimmer wasn't so fucking racist he & speillman would have had 4 & 5 reciver sets in the eagles game but noooooooo they are both determined on making theland ,& Rudolph stars instead of winning! Michael Floyd & wright & the kid who they never give a chance sat the entire game. this infact hurt theiland & Rudolph's overall production in big games. face it Rodgers is back prepare to lose big time the packers always rebound after a bad season with Rodgers & McCarthy. Don't expect to have another 13& 3 season cusions will be good but not great gaureenteed if u win it's because of your defense not your quarterback oh I forgot your still crying about the saints when the put a fair & square whoopn on yah the refs callwd the game fair but noooooooo u were cheated right?! because u had the game in the bag and farve threw it away like he had been doing in green bay the whole time every playoffs except for one when the defense & Desmond Howard's heroics won the only Superbowl he ever won. even Rodgers can't win the big games without Charles Woodson back their making spectacular plays it's facts that packer fans use not stats. caz if we do ull get angry right! all those championships 13 then I'll say oh Superbowls which you don't got one not a one stfu dude when u do get one then u can look like the bears who's one Superbowl championship over rides any Vikings stat period.
mikemill32 look dude I'm not in love with any Viking believe me facts are facts you are a defenseive team period you have been since ponder went to the playoffs on Adrian Petersons and the defenses back Bridgewater also was pitiful but he didn't throw interceptions you can have cousins instead of Keenan who cares the eagles back up had one good season & kicked your ass period facts not stats it's a team sport no one player wins a game or do I have to remind u how Peterson ran damn near 200 yards on the pack twice & u lost both games. the Vikings can't stick with a quarterback more than two years because they are always shooting in the dark hoping for a lucky miracle play every year it's a fact Kennan won twelve games with 3 recivers & one was a tight end. he played good when put into a offensive that worked best to his skill type. Rember your a Vikings fan u don't know anything about football Rember Randy moss went to losangeles &scored a pitiful 3 touchdowns be cause the offensive scene didn't fit his skill set yet he went to the patriots &broke his old all time record cusions had elite recivers & a great defense yet Kennan went to the second round cusions didn't facts not stats
Curt cousins aint shit, he has no real accomplishments he's never even been to the second round in the playoffs. hes coming to the NFC north and it ain't gonna be no cake walk he's basically a dink & dunk passer he's not a elite arm he was surrounded with extremely good recivers. when he comes to the NFC north the pitiful specimen he is will be shown he's nothing but Jay cutler. in the NFC north with a weaker arm.
well it's a fuckin insult to rg3, they also drafted kirk cousins as an insurance policy if rg3 fuck up and don't play good in the first 4 or 5 games of the red skins then cousins will get the quarter back position by mid-season, it's bullshit,
