Saying that another QB had worse stats but ended up doing fine doesn't mean he hasn't been bad.

I think that it is relevant to say that Kirk Cousins has been better through his first 9 starts than Peyton Manning was through his first 9 starts. I mean, he's the greatest QB of all-time stats wise.

My comment was that it is short-sighted to ditch a QB like Kirk Cousins based off a few bad games but to continue to let RG3 have try after try. Kirk Cousins has shown the flashes of what it takes to be a good NFL QB. The mistakes he's made are because of lack of playing time.

I don't think he's a future All-Pro QB or anything. But, he could improve enough to become an every day starter if given time to grow. NFL teams throw QBs away far too fast.
