For Redskins: Kirk Cousins could have been great

No doubt, Gruden repeated the same mistake he made last year.  Thinking how things look in practice translate to the field.  Last time, he found out the Redskins were not a tough, physical team when game time came.

This time, he sees that Kirk Cousins does not have the mental toughness and patience to play the game.

Maybe Kirk could have been great by overcoming his mental weaknesses.  Perhaps Gruden’s decision last year to hang Cousins out to dry against the Giants crushed him for life.  We’ll probably never find out.
