Stafford’s Back Issue

[dieterbrock]

Stafford has a scheduled workout Saturday, so folks will just have to relax until then

I dont think you can put Stafford out there with a backup LT, whereas the backup QB are fodder.

Agreed. And this is in combination what makes the current situation so alarming.

I mean, even if Cousins was a tad better than Garappolo…Jimmy has been here with the playbook for a year and is here in camp getting a ton of reps with starters.

It would be very one step forward two steps back to move off of that at this point.

Only way Cousins would make sense is if Atlanta were to move him to us for a late rounder, and if they were to absorb a considerable portion of his salary. This is because the Rams have an equivalent QB in Jimmy, which is to say that low end type starter.

Also I think there's a good chance that if Bennett plays the way he did in the first preseason game the rest of the way, the dropoff from Cousins (both are limited arm/ball distributors) to him would be negligible. Because QBs with iffy arms don't usually age well. And Bennett moves better than Cousins not to mention has had the entirety of camp learning the full install of this year's offense.

So if it's me I'd stand pat with Jimmy > Bennett. And whatever happens happens.

I bet Sean prefers Jimmy......

Agreed, any sane person would.

Banks was much better then Rypien.

I suppose. But by degree Banks scourge of incompetence lasted longer, and caused more embarrassment. Rypien was like a brief bout of diarrhea

Agreed. I just don't get this Cousins talk. Why do we even have Garapolo (at a bargain cap hit, and healthy) if we are going to consider the leftover husk Cough*SamBradford2.0*cough that used to be Kirk "You like that" Cousins??

This reminds me of the guys that see some veteran wide receiver is let go and always speculate if we should take a flyer on them.

NO! Just No

Yeah! It's not nice to pick on the less fortunate among us
