I know this isn't exactly Rams related, but I wanted get some thoughts on this. I just read an article on NFL.com stating the the Redskins organization believes that "if" he were to be benched over Cousins, RG3 would accept his role as a backup. After reading a few articles and hearing this and that on various sports radio networks about RG3 and his ego or his twitter comments, I do not believe that he would accept his role at all. I could see him making comments to the media about the organization as well as comments on twitter about his own team not believing in him ultimately ending in a trade. To where, for what? I do not know. Let me know what you think.

I prefer my backup QB to be healthy at all times. Just in case....well, you know.

Well, obviously he has no say in the matter, but I get what you're asking. Will he be a douche about it, or play the PC game and be a team player? I think he'd probably be pretty coy about it, but he'd get his shots in somehow. Either in a radio interview or to a reporter, he'll say something.

RGme would be a huge pain in everyone's ass if that occurred. I hope it happens, simply so the last bunch of sportswriters will quit pretending to be on the fence about who got the better of the trade.

More Cousin gets exposed easier it will be for him to get his job back.
No at this point he won't want to be a backup, but it's not up to him.

NO WAY but I don't think he'll have to, Cousins will come back to earth.

Cousins is going full Romo here. I wouldnt really want RGIII to back up Sam B. Rather draft a guy to do it.

Yeah Philly is like 30th against the pass, Austin Davis or Hill could have career days against them

Philly seems to suck in the 1st half so far this year. We need to jump out to a big lead like last week and hold onto it, unlike last week.

He might have under different circumstances. But the way he's been treated in Washington, like he's some sort of God, there is no way he would accept it. He would pout until he's cut or traded.
