Kirk Cousins 365 thread

[TheMalcolmConnection]

It also could be his agent (AND the Redskins) are waiting to see how the QB FA market shakes out. If someone signs another Osweiler-like deal this year, Cousins will probably ask a bit more.

It is called contract negotiating and the typical "sabre rattling". It puts the onus on the other side to cough up his demands or hints at him leaving. I wouldn't be worried, but to be honest, I still am not sure if he is worth $25 million a year. Yeah his stat line was great, but he folds under pressure and is behind one of the better offensive lines in football. Is he really top ten because of this? IF we made the playoffs and just lost to the Seahawks again, this banter about Kirk would be moot, as that would have meant he shined all the way through, but he flopped during the back stretch somewhat, while the D let everyone down. I think they just need to give him a real long term deal with the cap per year at say $24-$25 million and be done with it. Let the chips fall where they may be. I don't see very many quality qbs coming out of college anymore and if you snag one, keep him. Kirk is a quality QB, but I do understand what some folks are thinking about second guessing the slam dunk resign position. I guess the question is, does he still have room to improve? In that I mean can he grow some poise to handle pressure when it comes his way?

Good Link.

Kirk did face the toughest defenses overall compared to any OTHER QB in the NFL this year.

He did that and still performed BETTER this year then he did last year.

Pay the Man. His celing is unknown and he continues to improve. You have to sign this rising star at this point.

I was about to post about this, listening to friday Cooley and Kevin show (without Cooley), there's a segment where Kevin was joined by Al Galdi, they talk about the stats mentioned in your link.

Best in the league in air yards (total yards minus yards after the catch), 3rd in the league in yards per pass attempt...

Cooley said the other day the reason why the Redskins are reluctant to pay KC big money for a long term deal is none of the decision-makers were part of a team with high priced QB before...

If this is true they need to wake the F up to the reality of this league and realize the odds of finding a better QB than KC in the draft or in FA are like at best 1 out of 15, imo.

Ok he had a bad game against the giants... but so did the whole offense! Trent Williams may have had his worst game ever that week, should we tag and trade him too?

By the way, did you look at KC in the pro bowl skill challenge? In the best hands drill he looked like the best QB out there, precisely on point on every throw.

At some point this has to come to some kind of resolution. You can not put your starting on another one year deal.

I normally don't watch the Pro Bowl, but I was intrigued to see how Kirk Cousins would fair, and he balled out. Cousins definitely took it seriously, and darn near brought the NFC back to tie. Ol' Graham should have caught that pass in the end zone!

I believe part of it was him wanting to show he's a Pro Bowler and deserves to get paid. If he has another great year next year, Cousins might become a permanent fixture in the Pro Bowl.

I'm with the crowd that says pay the man. Hopefully this is the last week to speculate and that we'll hear something by next week.

Awesome play by Kirk

[SCRedskinsFan]

Great play by Kirk, saw the clip, not the whole game.

Watching all that, it did occur to me how Clinton Portis screwed up his shoulder and lost a season in a play just like this some years ago. So I'm not so sure that this was a really good reaction or decision for Kirk personally or the team in a meaningless game. I'm sure his agent and some of the Skins brass held their breath for a minute there.

But yeah, great hustle and intensity and wheels, Kirk. Lets get him signed already. No question he needs to be signed, sooner rather than later.

Let's hope he is right:

"When I look at Kirk Cousins, I think he's probably their best player," ESPN analyst Jon Gruden said during the Pro Bowl broadcast, via the Washington Post. "He's a guy you can win with. I think he's going nowhere."

Given that Jon is the brother of Redskins coach Jay Gruden, those words should be taken as more than a guesstimation of a clueless analyst.

With access to the results, great play by Kirk and I loved it. But I saw that play live (yes I stayed up for the Pro Bowl) and when I saw Alexander make the pick Cousins was off the screen, and I was repeating over and over "Cousins get down, Cousins get down...".

Then he streaks into the screen to catch Talib from behind and my heart was in my throat.

He popped up just fine, thank God. Gutsy play and it embodies everything we love about Kirk. But MAN was that F'ing STUPID!

[KI Skins Fan]

Many years ago, Sonny Jurgensen tackled a player who had just intercepted one of his passes in an exhibition game. Sonny hurt his shoulder on the play and missed some time. He was asked by a reporter why he risked injury by making that tackle in a meaningless game. His answer: "I'm a football player". To me, that said it all. The same goes for Kirk.

[Schneed10]

And how much did Sonny make in his career?

[Chief X_Phackter]

He's a straight up competitor. That was all reaction, and want-to...

That's who I want as my QB.
