Kirk Cousins has looked awful tonight actually playing a good defense (slightly biased statement there). Let's see how he does the next few weeks

There was an article on NFL.com that was very true. Fans and teams get excited when a backup performs well, thinking he'll be the next big thing. Then in most cases he becomes a bust as a full-time starter. Recent examples are Kevin Kolb and Matt Flynn. Flynn is a pretty good backup in Green Bay, but he just didn't seem to fit elsewhere. And Kolb just never clicked anywhere than as a backup in Philly. Some guys just aren't meant to be starters.

@acishere I just noticed your avatar. I'm currently sitting in traffic (not driving) in NY, leaving Jeter's last game at Yankee Stadium. I hope you were watching, you couldn't script a better ending!
I can't really picture the team without him. He joined right around the same time my friend's family had an extra ticket to a Yankee game and gave me my first big game experience. So I may have been fighting back tears at the end there...

Tonight was a great night for me! A Giants win and Derek Jeter walking off his final game at Yankee Stadium. I started Jennings in fantasy and got only 5 points but I started the Giants defense on my fantasy and shockingly, got 15 points! A lot more than I expected!

Josh McCown with his Tampa struggles can add him to that. and Matt Cassell as well, although that one may be a bit of a stretch since he did have a great season with New England and it wasn't just one game

Anyone who started Eli or Donnell had a great Thursday night.

There was a lot of talk about whether Argiethree would still be the starter when he came back, based on a couple good games by Cousins against not so good defenses. I like Cousins, and Argiethree was way overhyped. But you can't just assume Cousins will be healthy and play well all year long.
