Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

I think his value is inching up slightly as time goes by and McVay and Kyle Shanahan interview for coaching opportunities. Both are Cousins guy and I dare say if Shanahan gets hired as a HC somewhere he will reach out and try and get Kirk.

If he ends up in Denver that wont happen

Do you mean the Dallas game where he couldn't get the ball to the wr's downfield? Did you also forget about the other games he played in that year? Then he got hurt. Bottom line is if McCoy was better than KC he'd be on the field. The coaches.. Gruden, McVay, Cavanaugh see them up close everyday. They know more than we do. If McCoy was a starting caliber QB another team would have signed him. He's a great backup QB, not a 16 game starter.

And what he did in college doesn't mean anything at this point.

Did you read my other post about Mccoy? I knew someone would jump in and twist this,I never said McCoy should be the starter,read the other post before commenting please

Time to watch Nate Sudfeld highlights and get amped up and psyched out.

I'm secretly hoping Cousins has a Panthers/Norman type situation and SM let's him go. Why? Because he is going to get way more than he's worth from us or some other team. I rather have it be another team. And no, I don't have the answer for who starts, but I don't want to over pay out of fear. We can find someone.

Sure, we only waited 20 years to find this one, finding another one should be pretty easy right?

What is the goal here, anyway? I thought it was to build a team that can win a Super Bowl. No team can win a Super Bowl these days with a run-of-the-mill QB. In fact, it has rarely been done before now.

Where are you going to get this cheap QB who can lead us to the Super Bowl?

- There are 22 NFL QB's who are being paid an average of $17M or more per season under their current contracts.

- There are 15 NFL QB's who are guaranteed $65M or more under their current contracts.

- The Franchise Tag for QB's in 2017 will be $24M. That's the baseline for Kirk Cousins, one year at $24M fully guaranteed. As of today, there are 19 NFL QB's who are each contractually guaranteed more than $24M.

In the NFL, you need a good QB to win. We have a good QB. Good QB's are hard to find and they are paid extremely well, as shown above; therefore, in order to win we must pay our good QB extremely well. It's so simple that some of us think there must be more to it than that. There isn't.

The alternative? Hope for a lightning strike on FedEx Field with a good and cheap QB emerging from the smoking turf.

No one in this thread can provide an alternative to Cousins.
Not one that can take us to the playoffs.

Did the Cowboys have a valid alternative to Tony Romo this year that could lead them to the playoffs? And somehow they're 13-3. There are always going to be more qbs that come along. We got Cousins in the 4th round. Everyone acts like Cousins is the last good qb that will ever be found in nfl history and we have to keep him forever no matter the cost or how bad he has continuously choked in big games to this point.

Sure, we only waited 20 years to find this one, finding another one should be pretty easy right?

Yea, he has good stats, but what exactly have we waited 20 years for, a qb that can get us to 8-7-1? I know there are other factors to that record like our sieve defense, but it's not exactly like he is dominating the nfl. I just don't think he's worth more than 20 million a year and it sounds like he's gonna want a lot more than that. No thanks. That's just my opinion though. I know people will disagree and there are a lot of good points to be made from your side. If he gets 25 million a year and takes the next leap, I'll gladly eat crow at that time.
