Thank You Kirk Cousins Thread

[mooby]

I'm seeing a lot of bitterness in this thread, but I guess that's the way ugly divorces go.

For me, 24-0 Bucs will be one of my favorite highlights of watching the Redskins, and we have Kirk to thank for that. Did he bring us back to dominance? No, but he's the first Redskins quarterback in 25 years to bring us back to respectability. If you want to give Gruden/Allen the credit for that, do it. As much as Kirk owes his "success" (air-quotes because half of you act like Kirk was an overrated bum) to Gruden/McVay/etc., they owe equal credit to him, for having some success on the field. Team sport gents.

True. All I think we are saying though is there are a good 15 QBs in the league they could have done the same or better with.

I mean look at what McVay did with Goff.

Kirk was good. But I’m not sure we’re any worse today, and after free agency I think we’ll be better.

That's my stance. I would've been happy if the 'skins were able to sign Cousins to a long term deal. I loved Kirk Cousins. I loved what he brought to the team. But, he's not the elite quarterback the sports world is trying to make him out to be. I'm hearing things like, "Kirk Cousins will take a last place team and turn them into a first place team. Kirk Cousins will take a mediocre team and turn them into a Super Bowl team." There's been absolutely no evidence of that. Kirk has made the 'skins a better team, but he's not turned them into a playoff contending team nor a Super Bowl team. He requires a stacked team, he's not Tom Brady.
