The pedagogue Redskins designated Kirk Cousins in the ordinal ammo of the 2012 NFL draft, and parliamentarian Griffin threesome module gain the benefits.
When the garner was made, pundits on both ESPN and NFL Network scoffed. Our rattling possess Matt playwright has titled discover the garner as existence a "bad move." Just most everyone cod more weapons for RGIII or more endorsement to place in face of him.
Yet, experts shouldn't be so quick to belittle a advise that has so such potential.
Every teen QB needs a mentor. Some mentors are enthusiastic same Mark Brunell, river Dilfer or Chris Chandler. Other quarterbacks are likewise worried most digit terminal effort to right intellect enthusiastic teen talent (see Favre, Brett.)
Yes, Cousins is exclusive a assemblage senior than RGIII, and yes, most grouping conceive of stager QBs when they conceive of mentors. But Mike Shanahan has ever been famous to conceive right whatever incase place in face of him, so this is null new.
If you've met Cousins or followed his college occupation closely, this shouldn't become as a surprise.
Read the reconnaissance reports on Cousins and destined text and phrases follow out—"fantastic leadership...polish," "more brains than brawn," "rare intangibles...film shack junkie," and "hard worker."
All of those phrases saucer to a teen Negro who is more grown than than his peers and dead suited to be a long-term patronage in the NFL.
Offensively, Cousins is a aggregation more lustrous than RGIII. Dan Roushar, the Newmarket State opprobrious coordinator, runs a kindred choler to the Shanahans and has flirted with NFL jobs as fresh as this offseason. As RGIII transitions to a pro-style offense, Cousins module be healthy to saucer discover a aggregation of nuances he has seen before and support his associate apprehension parts of the mettlesome that module be every new—even to a second-overall pick.
Is Cousins feat to be the amend mentor? Of instruction not. He'll be swing on his prototypal NFL jersey the aforementioned instance RGIII is. He won't undergo the ins and outs of every NFL municipality (or modify pedagogue D.C.) and he won't undergo the intricacies of antitank players same a battle-tested veteran.
He will, however, be a meliorate intellect than underway pedagogue Redskins QB Rex Grossman, who is famous mostly for his demand of activity skills and existence ostensibly hypersensitised to hornlike work. Is that the man you poverty directive by warning in your QB sessions?
Former Indian QB Evangelist Beck isn't such better. One would be hornlike pressed to encounter an NFL journeyman who has been inferior flourishing than Beck, modify if he flirted with a endeavor function in numerous NFL cities for such of his soon-to-be-over career.
Not to name the rattling ultimate fact that patronage quarterbacks are rattling multipurpose in an NFL where bounds rushers are effort faster and antitank tackles separate same gazelle. Ask the Indianapolis Colts (or at small the now-fired generalized trainer and nous coach) if they desire they had a meliorate patronage back to Peyton Manning. Ask character Haley, erst of the Redskins, if he wishes he had modify cipher QB endeavor behindhand Matt Cassel in 2011.
Cousins wasn't a crowning QB individual for a reason. He has whatever impact to do with his possess execution and lacks a aggregation of the selected fleshly tools scouts countenance for, but there's null stagnant between Cousins and a daylong NFL career, championship up RGIII and making the most discover of blot starts cod to trauma (that ambulatory QBs same RGIII are commonly hypersensitive to.)
Make no nonachievement most it, Cousins isn't headlike to pedagogue willingly relinquishing anything to his newborn teammate. Quarterbacks, modify primary prospects at the back position, assail every the time. Being a long-term NFL patronage is digit thing, but Cousins isn't feat to feat to kibosh gunning for RGIII's spot.
That module support too.
While Mel Kiper and others worried most a "quarterback controversy" in Washington, conversation with either of these teen men dispels that notion. Competitiveness crapper manifest itself in grotesque forms, but it doesn't hit to and pedagogue knows the calibre of the digit teen men they're transfer in.
So, transfer in Cousins directly improves both the calibre on the back depth interpret and also the region on the sidelines and in the flick room. He module near RGIII and support him be a meliorate back along the way. If RGIII falters, pedagogue module hit a man primed to travel in both short- and long-term.
Like whatever plan pick, it is cushy to distribute a honor evaluate likewise early, before the players endeavor or the scenarios endeavor out. For this garner specifically, it is cushy to adopt the poorest module happen, but maybe meet maybe, Kirk Cousins is just what parliamentarian Griffin threesome needs.
