Avoided him like the plague in my fantasy leagues. Him and Gruden are overrated.

One of the turnovers was his fault though. Saying he was awful is way too harsh but he was not as good as the stats indicate. He was holding on to the ball for far too long and took a beating as a result.

I do think the staff was trying to deter him from creating outside the pocket which really handicaps him



That's fair to say. IMO, he was a game manager today. He didn't play well enough to lead his team to victory but he didn't cause the team loss.

He is at fault for the fumble, although I don't think it is recorded as a fumble on his part in the stats?

Arguing that Cousins should be the starter though, as others have implied is ridiculous. Cousins has looked good in preseason but against 2/3rd string players. All one needs to do is look at his stats in career starts to see that he hasn't performed any better than RG3 in regular season games.

I'm not sure on the fumble as far as stats. I agree on the game manager part. Average is probably a good way to describe how he played. Arguing Cousins should start is ridiculous.

There were times when the Texans brought pressure and I expected RG3 to move outside the pocket and make something happen and he just stayed in there and kind of froze. I get they want to keep him healthy but taking away his athleticism is taking away one of his most dangerous assets.
