The Jets aren't the only screwups in town.
 
Kirk Cousins says that if the Redskins name RG3 starting QB, he would like to be traded.
 
 
It’s easy to understand why Cousins would want to have a chance to compete for a starting job. Every NFL player wants to be able to compete. And it’s not like Griffin (or Colt McCoy) has done enough to be viewed as an incumbent starter who deserves to have the job handed to him.
 
But it’s also hard to picture much of a trade market emerging for Cousins. Although there’s been talk that the Browns might have some interest, given Cousins’s connection to Cleveland offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan from their time together in Washington, the reality is Cousins hasn’t played well when given the opportunity. Cousins has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns in his career, and of Cousins’s eight starts in the last two seasons, the only game Washington won was the game in which Cousins was benched and McCoy led the team to a comeback win.

Always a strong career move to position yourself as a malcontent backup when you don't have starter talent.

Seriously.

He was seen as some second string saviour. I never saw it myself and he got his chance and was exposed.
Shut up. It's good money for a great role to be a backup. Anyone thinking cousins can be their qb starter long term is crazy pants.

He's better than Sanchez. :)
