Flacco and Eli had awful years last year. I can't believe you would even cite that.
Dude you said what 3 weeks ago you preferred Cousins over him? Obviously your confidence isn't sky high in him. Not sure why you are running this charade.
Just because your backup plays terrible doesn't validate you as a player. If you wanted another player to start over him, how confident were you in him in the first place?

What's your point? RG3 had a bad year also. And he was playing after knee surgery unlike flacco and eli. Just stating that his numbers weren't as bad as you are making them unless you are trying to compare him to Manning or Rodgers. Otherwise, his numbers perfectly reflected a starting qb in the NFL. All with an injury riddled receiving core and no O'line and an absolutely atrocious defense. You are crazy.
And I've said RG3 was better than cousins about 100 times the past 3 years. Just once I said after the Philly game that Cousins "could" be better than RG3 for this team. Most of which was because his lack of being able to stay healthy and hope that we had a chance this year. I was 100% right for 99% of Cousins career, and 100% wrong for that one lapse of judgement.
Glad that's all you focus on, lol. RG3 is an elite NFL QB when healthy. There is no questions about that.
Now he had a bad year last year, 5 posts up his year wasn't that bad. If Mike Glennon is outperforming your #s, they aren't refecting anything productive or that a team would consistently want.
I dunno, I can't really pretend to care much more about the Redskins QB. Maybe he'll go on to have a long career in which he sustains excellence rather than get hurt every 8 games like we've seen so far
Lastly, when the team says there were "no plans" to bench RG3 for Cousins, what else do you expect them to say?
"Well this guy gets hurt every few games and if this other guy is productive then yeah we're gonna moveon from him but if this other guy sucks then yeah we gotta go back to him by default"

You're just playing word games now. He had a bad season compared to his ROY season and had a bad season compared to some of the elite qbs in the NFL. But in terms of being a starter on one of 32 teams, not even close, he definitely did not put up that bad of numbers for such a terrible team last year. You're not even making sense. Numbers don't lie, only Patriots fans do.
So why don't you just say last year was a fluke and his rookie year is how he is going to play going forward rather than pretend he wasn't awful last year? If he plays like he did last year, he won't be the future of the franchise for very long. Do you atleast understand that?
Playing at a mediocre NFL starter level gets you recycled usually.
For an "elite starter" his job was definitely up for grabs over the last 4 weeks, if you don't think that then you're just being a fan.
Last year wasn't a fluke. He was coming off a horrible knee injury which completely changed how the shanihans played him. He was much less mobile with the knee brace on. This year, he was fully healthy and the redskins were 100% committed to him. He gets another horrible injury and that's when questions came up about whether Cousins could take over instead of relying on RG3 to get healthy again. And yes if he can't stay on the field he will not be a franchise qb very long, but that wasn't the argument. He is clearly a capable NFL starter and after Cousins downfall, the clear #1 for the Redskins. When he's healthy they won't even hesitate to get him back on the field. He's a great qb and had probably the best RC qb season in history. And that was 2 years ago, lol.
"Well, we want to beat Indianapolis," was Gruden's response when asked how long RGIII will be allowed to settle in. "We want to win every game. And I have to put the people in there who (are) gonna help us win those games."
lol don't think I've ever seen a coach just shit on his QB over and over like Gruden does to RG
