Kirk Cousins vs RG3 Comparison

The Washington Redskins have made it to the playoffs in the 2015-2016 season with a 9-7 record to top the division.

Although, this time it was without Robert Griffin lll.

And instead, this year, Kirk Cousins has brought this Washington team to the playoffs. This was a Skins team that was 4-12 the year before and 3-13 two years ago.

I am going to be comparing Kirk Cousins from the 2015-2016 season, and RG3, from his rookie year.

One thing Kirk Cousins has done this year is break the franchise record for passing yards with 4,166 passing yards along with 29 passing touchdowns. RG3 did not do that. RG3 threw for 3,200 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Although the difference between Cousins and RG3 was that RG3 actually ran the ball consistently. RG3 ran for 815 yards along with 7 rushing touchdowns but also 9 fumbles.

But what about the passer rating.

 Cousins posted a 101.6 passer rating while Griffin posted a 102.4 passer rating.

And what about interceptions.

RG3 had just 5 interceptions while Kirk Cousins had 11. I guess you could argue about that since RG3 had missed a game due to an injury and also left  game early. Cousins started all games.

They both lost in the wild card round, so there is nothing to compare there.

But if you add up all of their total yards, Kirk Cousins is the winner in that match.

So I guess both of the QBs were pretty equal, and only time will tell which one of the two is a better QB.
