HELL NO!! and don't want stafford either..I will tell you this if the Skins lose COUSINS and he goes to the right team..he just may end up as a top notch QB ..to the Cousin bashers ..be careful what you wish for..
There are also factors that are out of our hands.
Look at Rich Gannon pre-Raiders. He was a medicore journeyman. Then he goes to a superbowl caliber team and looks like an all pro.
If Cousins left the franchise and suddenly looked like an elite QB then yeah, our bad, and it would speak to further dysfunction at the top of the organization not being able to sniff out talent.
Who is old enough to remember Trent Green? He started to turn a corner in his final season here and we let him go. I was still pretty young at the time, maybe he wanted out....he was the quiet guy left over from the post Shuler/Frerotte era. If we had kept Trent Green and he had been our franchise QB for the next decade who knows what would have been. That was probably our the last time we had a legitimate elite QB on the roster that got away. He went on to have a hell of a career with the Chiefs until the concussions took their toll.
There are always exceptions to the rule, but usually elite QB's come into this league and do something impressive right off the bat. The national media takes notice for a reason. T he way our local media covers the team they so desperately want Cousins to turn into a great QB because of how sour things turned out with Robert post 2012. They basically look at Kirk as our only hope other than going back to the drawing board. They will take average to above average games by Kirk and grade him out like he was out there slinging the ball around all over a defense.
We here, we're just fans most of us including myself are just trying to guess based on what we see, but I also see younger QB's with less experience than Cousins doing things I don't see Cousins doing as a 27 year old 4th year QB (yes I know "4th year" is subjective).
Re: Trent Green from Wiki
He would not see NFL action until 1998, when he threw for 3,441 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
Green's breakout season came just in time, as he became an unrestricted free agent after the 1998 season. He rejected a 4-year, $12 million offer from the Redskins, and on February 15, 1999, he agreed to a 4-year $17.5 million contract with the St. Louis Rams which included a $4.5 million signing bonus.[
