SO

Cousins throws 4 INTs and it's "he tried to make plays"

EJ throws 0 INTs against SD and it's "He sucks and will never be any good"

hmmm.....

- ImThatGuy

It's pretty weird some fans rationale. Cousins has "potential" regardless of his record or how he's looked his first 6 or 7 games. People are convinced he's a starter. Yet EJ has peaked at 13 NFL games and will never improve.

There is a third option: "We need better than both guys in order to be a championship contender".

Agreed. EJ needs to play better no question. But I would rather have a QB who doesn't turn the ball over.

EJ IMO will be better than Cutler or Cousins. He's being developed properly. He's coachable, has a strong enough arm and is a leader. You win with guys like him.

I expect to see a jump from him by seasons end. If I'm wrong, I'll gladly want a new QB.

Maybe . If just to see a better team than theirs play.

I feel really dirty for saying this, but I hope that's not the case. We need them to be better than us.

We can end up last even if we sweep the Leafs this season
Wouldn't that be great for their morale.

My dream scenario: Toronto loses to Buffalo 5 times...and finishes 10th in the conference.

That would be fantastic. It would definitely make the year more enjoyable for us.

"Opinions vary"

Cutlers first 21 NFL games he had a whopping 29 Td's with 19 picks. Roughly what EJ would project out to. He also had a franchise receiver in Marshall from just about day 1, along with a prolific run game that always accompanies a Mike Shanahan team.

Cutler still makes pretty dumb throws and really has never been considered a great QB

Cutler is incredibly inconsistent. He kind of reminds me of Tyler Myers. His highs are absolutely fantastic. His lows are a borderline disaster.

Yes he's inconsistent, but it also took until year 3 for him to become a pretty good NFL starter.

I understand that Manuel in his current state is not a Super Bowl QB, but what I want is to make this team competitive so that we can attract a coach in a few years or better UFA's. So far Manuel for the most part has been good enough to keep the games close and allow us the chance to win.

Pretty soon he will absolutely have to do more on his own, but people act like the good QB's did that from the day they were drafted, that's not always the case

Most Rookie quaterbacks should be holding a clipboard . It is selfish and uneducated of fans to think they can step right in.
