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!

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Tale of two swings.  Swing 1: Slightly outside takeaway (hands move outside of target line) only to allow trail elbow over collapsing at P4. Doesn't take much to overdo it for the trail elbow collapse to only further exaggerate. That's death. Swing 2: Hands stay slight in at takeaway for a much better trail elbow condition at P4. This is a hard sell from an instinct perspective. More focus on un-weighting and re-weighting of lead foot to unlock a bit more mobility of hips and torso. A major flaw that creeps up often is me swinging flat footed and becoming overly armsy-collapsy as a result. Got reminded of this the hard way during my 2nd round match for club net championship. Was cruising along 2up until I made the turn. Then lost the swing for next five holes. Andy was playing good enough to capitalize. By the time I regained my swing on 16th, it was too late. Even Andy was like "That was a gift". Obviously that stings because have played well enough lately. Should have closed him out of the game comfortably with a few holes to spare. Shoulda woulda coulda. Tough lesson. Damn. P.S. I know the swings look very similar but trust me there is a difference.
