How bout them skins?

Benching him is retarded. He needs MORE playing time, not less.
Unless he is somehow at higher risk of injury, and I havent seen anything to make me believe that.

That's my concern, that he's risking another injury. If it's just rust, then yeah he just needs to keep playing. But, he came back in 8 months when even AP took 9 months and AP only tore one ligament, and it was AP's first reconstruction. When AP came back, he wasn't wearing a knee brace. All of those things together (and his gameplay) make me think the injury is not fully healed.

If the injury is not fully healed, he risks damaging it again. If he damages it again, it could be a career ender.

So let's say you take the risk, what do the Skins get out of it? Would the Skins have a reasonable chance of a superbowl run, especially given how bad the defense looks? Would they even make the playoffs? If the answer to question 1 is a definite "no", and the answer to question 2, is a probable "no", what's the point of risking your franchise quarterback? This is a guy that is supposed to be the cornerstone to your franchise for hopefully 7 to 10 years. A career ending or hampering injury would be a disaster.

The point of putting Cousins in would be to make sure RG3 is fully healed. That is a tough decision to make in any sport, but professional sports is littered with broken careers of guys who came back too early and never got back to where they were before. Franchises that win consistently, are the ones that can make the tough decisions.

It looks like the Skins are gonna keep playing RG3, I just sincerely hope he doesn't get hurt again. I honestly don't care about the outcome of the games at this point, I just hope his health comes out intact.
