He obviously would be a huge upgrade over Mannion, but we will never bring in a legit backup as long as Cousins is here.
I think it's an affordability thing at this point. It would be great to bring someone else in but I don't think they can.
@"JR44" said: He obviously would be a huge upgrade over Mannion, but we will never bring in a legit backup as long as Cousins is here.The bigger issue is that he’d have to agree to be paid in cold stadium hot dogs and stale bubs as we don’t have any money to sign him. But yeah. Its probably cousins fault.

In the most Letter Kenny voice possible.....To beeee fair....The only game Cousins has missed that I can remember was due to Covid. I'm looking at his box score and it looks like he missed a game in 2019 but I honestly don't remember why. Even back into his redskin days it doesn't look like he missed time due to injury, just RG3
So do we really need to spend anything over the vet minimum? We have a 3rd rounder from last year that our coaching staff must feel "ok" with? Otherwise we would have drafted one of the QBs that fell like rocks this weekend.
Mond, James Mond...
Year 2/3rd rounder; I will be disappointed if he isnt #2 on depth chart this season.

I'm disappointed that Mannion is on the roster. Hopefully Mond is number 2.

Why? We’ll have 3-4 QBs on the roster until camp cuts. Why not have a cheap veteran? Now when preseason is over…

You saw him play against Green Bay right? That should have been enough to get him off the roster.
@"JR44" said: He obviously would be a huge upgrade over Mannion, but we will never bring in a legit backup as long as Cousins is here.Cousins has been on the NFL injury report ONCE since 2014. He has missed TWO games in his college and Pro Careers as a starter dating back to 2008. Backup QB is the absolute least pressing concern this team has had since Cousins signed.

I was always suspicious of the golden-brown hair, big pearly smile and family image :)

I did and it really didn’t matter to me at that point. If I’m coming in as a new coaching staff, I’m keeping the backup QB until I can see the other QBs practice.
@"bigbone62" said:Kind of like insurance, doesn't seem like a pressing need until you need it, Cousins has been amazing in terms of durability, but it only takes one fluke injury and the season is over without a decent backup. Actually, it cost us the most important game of the season last year, in which we could not even bee competitive.@"JR44" said: He obviously would be a huge upgrade over Mannion, but we will never bring in a legit backup as long as Cousins is here.

@"JR44" said:The only time this team adequately and competently addressed the backup QB position under Spielman it paid huge dividends in Case Keenum. Since them we've been relegated to the likes of Mannion and we've seen that result. I'm still floored that the new front office elected to extend that tradition@"bigbone62" said:Kind of like insurance, doesn't seem like a pressing need until you need it, Cousins has been amazing in terms of durability, but it only takes one fluke injury and the season is over without a decent backup.

If there's anyone that's had a horseshoe, its Nick Foles. His horseshoe got him a ring....Keenum's got him a NFCC game. And for both after that moment in time? Yep.

So did Belichick. That was a bizarre year. That Eagles roster had no business even being in the playoffs. Just one of those moments that seems to be happening a lot in the NFL lately. Really good coaching meeting a team that got hot at the right time.
Commodes should sign him and go for the superbowl.
