    This would be more relevant if the masses were calling for Gurgles Lindquist or Kijana Carter-Samuels.

    It was only a little over a month ago that people thought Kirk Cousins was better than RG3.

    Cousins biggest problem is that he turns the ball over too much - you can work at fixing that.

    He's completing close to 62% of his passes, averaging almost 8.4 yards per attempt, and has a rating of over 86 - which while isn't great isn't just ridiculously terrible either. It's a better rating than Nick Foles for example who many think is a great QB.

    Cousins is terrible. He was terrible before this season and he's terrible this season.

    He got benched for Colt Fucking McCoy for a reason.

    He'll never start another NFL game.

    But Williams is a better runner, more athletic, and has a stronger arm than Miles so how is the statuesque Cousins a good example?

    I think the Nunes / Hogan comparison is more apt...Nunes was highly recruited yet clearly wasn't the answer when they lost to us up here in 2012 so they went with RS-Frosh Kevin Hogan who has won a bunch with them.

    I'd rather have Williams throwing 2 picks a game, which coaches could eventually correct vs Miles being afraid to take any chances, which the coaches can't correct.

    You can find examples of both cases. We'll know the case when/if Williams gets extended playing time in a real game.
