Virtually everyone in Washington, and possibly in the universe, is now convinced that Robert Griffin III will be the Week 1 starter for the Redskins. Kirk Cousins, though, said he’s still preparing as if he will be the guy. “It’s a wait-and-see approach,†Cousins said during a recent radio appearance on WBBL’s The Huge Show. “Robert’s looking awfully good for only being whatever it is, six months into the injury. He’s moving around really well, and I have high expectations for him. I know he has even higher expectations for himself, and we’ll just play it as it goes. But my mindset has to be that I need to approach it like I’m gonna start Week 1. And really, I approached last season like I was gonna start Week 1, just for the simple fact that that’s the way I prepare best. So I’ve got to put the pressure on myself somehow, and I guess the best way to do that is to convince myself that I’m playing.†Source: Washington Post
I would too if I were him. RG3 is stubborn and foolish, so it's only a matter if time until he destroys his knee and they turn to Cousins again.
