LOSER: Kirk Cousins, Washington

After a week where he was heralded as THE FUTURE AT QUARTERBACK IN WASHINGTON Kirk Cousins fell to earth like a flaming meteor.

It’s hard work to look as bad as Cousins looked as he stared his receivers down, seemed to have little to no sense of time in the pocket and generally looked like the backup he is.

Maybe Cousins bounces back but the shine is definitely off his stock. Certainly at the very least there is doubt that he will replace Robert Griffin III long term.

Cousins looks like a good quarterback for filling in when the starter is hurt. But he may not be the sneaky quarterback pick everyone seemed to think he was just a week ago.
