Graziano: Please stop trading Kirk Cousins

NC_Skins · 04-07-2013, 09:44 PM

Won't stop fans from spouting their insane Madden like trade offers we can get for Cousins. Ooooo.....we can get a 2nd and a 4th, and a late pick next year! /facepalm

If Matt Flynn, who's had more playing time than Cousins, didn't garner a single draft pick from Green Bay, chances are Cousins isn't going to garner anything at this point unless some team is desperate as hell. Disregard anything the Raiders do, they are the exception to most rules.

I think he will eventually be able to fetch a decent return provided he continues to improve. Unlike when Flynn hit free agency teams felt like they had plenty of options at QB between the draft and free agency. Now a year later it seems that many front offices are wondering if there will be any strong QB classes in the next year or two. Sure someone could emerge but right now there is a lot of uncertainty.

Yeah I mean it'd have to just a stupid offer. Like we'd basically have get back what we gave up for RGIII. Not gonna happen.

skinsfaninok · 04-07-2013, 11:14 PM

With this draft class of QBs, I'd be wanting cousins as my future as well. Geno isn't that great and I will.never trust a USC qb in the NFL

Kirk Cousins isn't going anywhere. I haven't heard much about Cousins being traded but the notion sounds absurd. Until Bruce Allen does make that deal, it shouldn't be news until then...

Kirk Cousins preparing for Redskins' read-option style - NFL.com

Kinda old article but it's good to see Cousins trying it out

Even if it's a first rounder it's just not worth it cause there's no telling how that pick will turn out. And RG3 has to prove that he's durable. Cousins has already shown that the NFL was not too big for him his rookie season and I see no reason why he won't improve. He's a leader, he's accurate, he gets the ball out quickly, he's smart and his mobility is very underrated. Right now, Cousins is one of the most valuable guys on this team.

GusFrerotte · 04-10-2013, 11:18 PM

WTF!!!!!! What if RGIII goes down, do you want to tank the season with Grossman? I repeat, you are not going to get anything of real value for Cousins based on his very short resume of taking over for Robert. He won, but his stats weren't terrific. I think after the Chiefs bit on Cassel, and the Cards on Kolb, the NFL front offices are a bit wiser in going all in for a backup. We need Cousins to stay with us for his entire contract, and if he does get some more shots at starting because of RG III going down or getting nicked up and performs very well, we keep him and resign him if the $$ is right.

If Cousins can make good decisions like RG3, the read option (limited) and play action stuff could work. I think one of his best plays in Cleveland last season was a Shanahan patented (tm) bootleg.

Listened to KC on Mike and Mike this morning. A couple notes I took.

1. The guy is ready for the big time, just his poise and his confidence. He reminds me of a young Aaron Rodgers.

2. He said he and his family were a bit shocked and dissapointed about the draft which is understandable, BUT he said he wouldn't change it one bit.

3. He said " I will get some more time on the field in Washington before my time is up here " meaning he is ready to showcase his talents to every team interested in him down the road.

Overall it was a pretty funny interview, and there is no doubt Kirk will be a big time QB in the NFL.

Are you saying you don't want to bring sexy back?

Wait two more years when he's a restricted free agent to either trade him or let someone else sign him to an offer sheet and we get a first round pick. It is way too soon to trade him now. His value isn't high enough to warrant a first round pick and we need him because he is our starter right now and Griffin hasn't exactly shown that he is good at staying healthy yet.

nephron22 · 04-13-2013, 05:52 PM

Everyone take a deep breath. We just had our first playoff appearance in years, our starting QB is coming off ACL surgery, and the thought of our third string QB being under center makes be nauseated.
Let's establish ourselves as a winning system before we get cute trading a bird in our hands.

ethat001 · 04-14-2013, 10:19 PM

KC has tons of reasons to stay here for one more year:
1) He's good. Or at least he's good enough to win.
2) He's our starter, and when RG3 comes back he's always one hit away.
3) He's cheap. About $480k, which (like Morris) doesn't even count against the cap right now.
4) He's a team player, locker room guy.
5) He's not good trade bait yet, too little film.

I'm hoping we continue to innovate, and use Pat White in new schemes behind KC as the QB. May see some experimentation in the preseason, which should be fun.
