Cousins with no line and horrendous special teams against the hapless falcons (at Atlanta). Upside: Could have a big day if their special teams/D crap the bed again and he has to throw. Appears to be a decent pocket passer and might have better success than Griffin considering he was only named the starter a day ago. Downside: The whole teams is in disarray. Entirely possible he could be murdered or turn the ball over a ton. Impossible to know.
Campbell. The Bears who just got their franchise QB back are coming to town. Weather won't be a factor - both teams are used to it. The Bears are fighting for a playoff spot and have a lot to lose. They'll spend most of their efforts shutting down josh gordon and giving up stuff underneath to Cameron if I had to guess. The bears pass defense has been suspect and they've been pretty ok at stopping the run. Campbell is slow as **** so expect them to blitz him a lot. Weather and matchup favors a big rushing game but who knows what happens in the redzone.
Matt Flynn. Don't get me wrong, the cowboys are bad but good god the packers suck hard without Rogers. I wouldn't touch Flynn on principle. Lacy will probably go nuts since the cowboys have one of the worst rushing D's in the league and Flynn can't reliably move the ball around.
Verdict: Coinflip between Campbell and Cousins. I'd probably take Cousins if I had a gun to my head but make no mistake, all of these are terrible QB options.
