Reason I say this is I view RGIII as a very risky option at QB long term. While a great player the fact that he runs quite a bit exposes him to hits and he will get hurt and will miss time. It is a game of Russian roulette every time he runs. There are not many teams that can make a run for the playoffs with their backups playing a significant amount of time. Cousins has shown he may be a bit more than that and I think the Skins would be foolish to deal him if they want to compete for the Super Bowl for the next few years. They certainly are a team on the upswing and dealing him would add a bit of risk to the equation.

i'm not saying i want him dealt...i'm just sure there will be interest. and griffin running is scary-but i know they've talked to him about the importance of sliding and getting out of bounds. he doesn't want to miss time any more than the rest of the team does, so hopefully he will be a savvier runner.
