It's not like Cousins is some scrub - the kid led the Skins to victory on more than one occasion this season. There was still the opportunity to win with him in.

Everyone in that stadium except Shanahan could see Griffin was done in the 3rd quarter. I would've switched to Cousins after halftime, but Griffin was barely able to run to the sidelines in the 3rd. They were still up 14-13 by then and Cousins could've milked the clock. He won 2 games for them this season.
