Robert Griffin III struggled in joint practices this week against the New England Patriots. Some members of the Patriots' organization believe that Kirk Cousins is the best quarterback on the Redskins' roster.

Cousins' edge is in "running the offense, fine-tuned mechanics and how decisively the ball came out of his hand."

There is now quarterback controversy, however, with who will start for the Redskins this season.

"He'll do some things, I know, on game day," Jay Gruden said. "He'll jump around, make six guys miss, throw a bomb for a touchdown, and I'm sure I'll high-five him. But if he does it again and it's a 12-yard sack-fumble, then what do you do? You gotta take the good with the bad, but we're trying to eliminate the absolute negative plays, the sack plays, and play situational football a little bit better."
