Thews40 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 In two SB's this week and it's a hotly debated topic. In your opinion, who do you bench to start Cousins, and who do you not bench to start Cousins? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddahj Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The two leagues I have him in...my QBs are a mess. I'm starting him over Tannehill in one & Flynn and Palmer in another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I had someone ask me if they should play Cousins over Brees. Cousins has a MUCH better matchup, but if I'm a Brees owner I have to live and die with him at QB. Not to mention, your QBs points likely won't matter anyway.

SpinalTapp Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 weather will be bad in DC tomorrow too (though not as bad as it will reportedly be in Carolina). That may have been the only reason to consider using Cousins IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolhandsean Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Cousins over Peyton....ummm what!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTapp Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 The guy I'm playing in the finals just picked up Cousins to start over Brees. I have the same decision...and am a lifelong - now long suffering - Redskins fan. Hard to pull the trigger on the move. Don't need any more reasons to hate on the home team.

Nabb Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I just posted a topic which had your topic in mind. I believe I am going to start Cousins over Brees but only due to the bad weather report in Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I think that if you start Brees and Cousins actually outperforms him, it wont be by much and it shouldn't torment you all offseason. However, if you bench Brees and he goes off, and it costs you the title, you might hurl yourself off of a bridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malta69 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Starting cousins over Romo. +1 Grabbed him with my last bidding buck on Wed night and hes been locked into my lineup since. Should also note that Im a Garcon owner going against a beastly team so Im hoping that the combo TD potential gives me a bit of an edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Cousins is starting in 63% of leagues this week according to MFL. Hard to believe since it is week 16 and so many teams were eliminated after week 14. It means a lot of good teams who made the playoffs didn't draft "stud" QB's early. I'm benching Carson Palmer and Mike Glennon for him. Not a difficult decision. Fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you bench Brees and he goes off, and it costs you the title, you might hurl yourself off of a bridge. I agree. However, I'd want to throw myself over the bridge either way if I lost. A loss is a loss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faceplant Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Given the weather scenario in Washington right now, is anyone reversing their decision to start Cousins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTapp Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Given the weather scenario in Washington right now, is anyone reversing their decision to start Cousins? it will be raining with possible thunderstorms.....but wind is not predicted to get above 10mph. Clearly less than ideal...but wind does not appear to be a determining factor in DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDude Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I've decided to now go with Cutler over Cousins and Romo due to weather concerns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I've decided to now go with Cutler over Cousins and Romo due to weather concerns IMO, Cutler should've been started over Cousins and Romo to begin with. I have flip-flopped between Cousins and Romo all week and currently have Cousins in. Rain/T-storms, even though not ideal, are not nearly as difficult to play in compared to high winds.

Oooh Nellie Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Cousins over Tannehill for me. I dropped Carson Palmer to pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I have Cousins going in 2 championships but only have Romo otherwise in the same game. Raining now in DC and supposed to be raining during game. I don't have a choice outside that game unfortunately but it is a concern for me. Hard rain expected. temperature is very nice at 70 and wind not that bad. Just lotta rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 If I lose to the championship to the guy who started Cousins over Brees, I might throw myself off of a bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
