If Cousins gets injured... the NBA and NHL seasons starts for me. ( i jest) If it did happen I think I would rather see Sloter out there getting experience (because how else are they supposed to get it, right?) than see a 1 and done guy in Simien fart around and likely net the same overall result. At least with Sloter I would have optimism. I can find something worthwhile in watching a baby calf take its first steps on wobbly legs.... watching an old drunk stumble around is just embarrassing.@"JimmyinSD" said:
the only upside I see to keeping Sloter as the #3 is he will get all the scout team O reps in practice, while the #2 only gets a minimum number of reps and with Cousins and Flipper being new to each other and the offense as a whole, I am hoping that Cousins is taking a very large part of those starting O reps. I've thought of this as well recently, and I guess if it's more beneficial to Sloter to be the #3 and get more reps, I'm all for that. It would only come back to bite us if Cousins goes down and Siemian has to go in, but we would probably be pretty screwed no matter what at that point. I don't see another Keenum-type performance coming out of either backup QB this year (at least not yet for Sloter).
