Breaking: Kirk Cousins Will Start Tomorrow.

It's up to you now, dude.

OK, so after my earlier multi-paragraph rant about how we, the fans, want RG3 in the game because we want to fucking win, I've now gotten word that Kirk Cousins is starting tomorrow. I'm staying calm for the moment, because I have decided for the sake of my own sanity to believe that this is happening due to RG3 not being healthy enough to play. To consider the alternatives just might break my fragile mind, so we're not going there. Instead, I'm trying to keep a positive attitude. A friend of mine is a huge Wisconsin Badgers fan and he says Kirk Cousins gave him fits when he was quarterbacking for Michigan State. I haven't felt like Cousins showed RG3-level talent on the field in his appearances thus far this year, but he's pulled off some good plays and over the course of an entire game he just might develop a solid rhythm that will get us through the game tomorrow.

But really, this entire situation boils everything down to the other members of the team proving whether or not we really can hang. If we'd lost the games to the Giants or the Ravens with RG3 on the field, and got knocked out of the playoff race that way, I could accept that as a sign that this is just a young squad that doesn't have it together all the way. However, if we lose to the Browns, even if we do so with Kirk Cousins in his first career start, I see it as a sign that the pieces are not all in place, and that Bruce Allen and the Shanahans still have work to do before we truly have a playoff-caliber team. Which, duh, is OBVIOUSLY THE CASE, so maybe we deserve to lose tomorrow. And yet, as I said earlier today, "Deserve's got nothing to do with it." So fuck the bullshit. Fuck worrying about who our starting quarterback is. I believe in my heart that we can win this game. No more panicking, no more naysaying, no more goddamn Redskins Disease. Let's do it.
