Every year there are debates about starting QB's.  We sit in our chairs and coach trying to make changes from our living rooms... but the real coaches don't listen!!!  I'll start the conversation with RG III since I'm a Skins fan (or the team to be named later lol)...

Let's look at the numbers. Please keep in mind this is just to bring some perspective back since it seems like the majority of people say that Cousins should be the starter. (I think Cousins is a good QB and should have started last year)... But let's really look at Cousins vs. RG III...

Cousins:
56% completion percentage... 8 TD, 10 INT (4 TD, 7 INT last year) Passer Rating of 68.6 - Average offense per game just over 165 yards per game...

Griffin III:
62.6 % Completion percentage.... 36 TD, 17 Pics (43 total TD, 17 Int, 23 total turnovers including fumbles) (16 TD's, 12 Int's last year) Passer Rating of 91.5 - Average offense per game 275 yards per game...

Keep in mind the Skins had the WORST starting field position in the NFL last year, and one of the worst defenses which means we played from behind the whole season... (Russell Wilson & Andrew Luck would have struggled under those circumstances last year)

No he isn't the same, but don't crucify the kid yet.. Set NFL rookie records for passer rating 102, and lowest percentage of passes intercepted 1.23%. Led skins to first division title since 99' (as a rookie).....

No he doesn't look like the same QB- but I don't think we can judge him so harshly based on last year and a preseason...  That said, JJ Watt, Clowney, Cushing- this weekend are scary for any QB!

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
