This is the only option. Unless they can trade for matt stafford or similar QB, they have to bring KC back and possibly draft a young QB.

I KNOW.......your joking

Lets look around the league and the upcoming college class of QB......not alot there.

Like someone said, McC isnt gonna press and feel rushed to overpay or overdraft a QB. The only real option is to be patient with Cousins and hope he can develop and at the same time hope someone emerges as a good college QB prospect that McC recognizes as draftable. In the mean time, let McC continue to build the team in other areas.

I agree with this. Also think SM knows that getting the right qb isn't an easy task, and imagine a competent GM (ie SM) would be looking at plans and options in order to find a few good options. I think one of those would be resigning KC to a mid tier contract something like Matt Flynn's in Seattle, and bringing in a college qb SM and his staff like.

I think he means the pick that Cousins either (1) failed to recognize the blitz; (2) failed to alter the protection after recognizing the blitz; or (3) lofted a blind pass into the flat that, even had the receiver not fallen down, still gave the defender a better play on the ball than the receiver.

24 seconds and we got in position to tie the game started from the 20..... your lucky to even HAVE hope like that as a redskin fan, be greatful pesents, and make sure..... that YOU LIKE THAT!

what would serve some of you is Cousins plays great from here out and he signs with another team and goes on to be a great NFL QB while we continue to look for that guy..could happen .in fact i would laugh about it if he went to Dallas and beat us every year..be careful what you wish for cousins may not be here next year..just saying.

[JoeRedskin]

I would love for Cousins to play great from here on out. Truly. If he does, given our cap room next year, we will resign him.

I will bet you real money, however, he does not play great. Instead, I fully expect that he will play consistent with what he has done in the past four years- couple good games, couple bad games, TD's and INT's at about the same rate.

Kirk is doing a live AMA on Reddit today at 4pm EST.

I think Kirk has earned the year no matter what, through his clutch play to win 2 games in the last minute, and come back to force OT in a 3rd (loss), plus one more win.
He has had a few stinkers too, NYJ, NYG
at his present pace Kirk is on track for:
418/610 att comp , 68%
3969 yards
20.52 td's
17.9 int's

While not all world, it is still pretty good for a first year full time starter.. you have to think he will improve on those #s going forward, as he gets more versed in the offense and the speed of the game and recognizing defensive looks.
I see some positives in Kirk, and hope that we may just have found our guy for the future.

He may never throw for 5k+ yards and 40+ td's like Rogers, but that guy is a once in a lifetime talent, so he's kind of an outlier.
I would be happy with a starting qb who averages 4500, 25-30 td's and 10-15 int's a year, and I think Kirk could be that guy in the future.

spot on Marty. I think Kirk just started his 16th game last week against the Bucs.

What he has done through the first 7 games with the injuries to key offensive weapons, no run game after week 2 and he had to do so against some of really good Defenses.

Jets (2), titans (5), bucs (6), rams (13), falcons (14), eagles (16) .. then the giants at 29. rank by yds/g.


its going to be fun watching to see what he and this team does for the remaining 9. Most projections have us as a 6.5 win team and ill take it.

If memory serves (which may be an issue) Joe T would have been on the field a few seasons earlier but he could not force Billy out. He threw to many Int's. And a few other things.......
But finally, he matured and made a great QB...take note KC

[Meks]

"Ohhhhh nooooo, he was baited and threw a pick to DARELLE REVIS...." lmfao as if they guy hasmt picked off almost every starting qb in the league smh, yall expect perfection from the kid when the organization and team as a whole is so far from perfect its not even funny.... smh

[JoeRedskin]

lol ... Wow. KC folks as rabid RGIII fans were.

Who knew?
