My starter is Philip Rivers. Romo has not looked good at all and Cousins has looked far better than RGIII has since preseason and seems to be grasping the offense quite well. Should I remain patient and keep Romo on the bench or pick up Cousins?

I would see if you can trade Romo for a second or third RB or WR.

I would rather have Cousins on my team as a backup because you're not going to play Romo over Rivers anyway. Cousins has more upside and I think if he blows up, better trade value later in the season.

Romo normally bounces back after first few games... Cousins might been a one game wonder (even though Gruden likes his style more). Toss up at this point. Romo has more consistent targets. Could wait and see how this week pans out.

My only QB is Romo. I'm debating the same issue. Can't trade Romo, because (1) no one will trade in this stupid league and (2) I don't have anyone else to drop for him.

All signs point to Cousins doing well and taking over the starting job even if RG3 returns. Gruden supposedly refused to plan around RG3, Cousins is his style, etc.

If Romo was my backup, I'd definitely do it. I'd do it anyway. I just talked myself into doing it.
