It may be a dumb stat, but it is a fact. If you have the choice of KC or any other qb for a meaningful Monday night game and you choose KC you would be considered foolish.

His defense gave him 3 starts in Packers territory early. And on his dagger interception he had a 5 yard clean pocket.

If you don't like the stat, fine, but as a teammate, I wouldn't count on him in those situations.

Cousins is who he is and will never be the kind of guy that can carry a franchise. He will play great at times, even for long stretches. But when you absolutely need him to step up, when the pressure is at it's highest he won't come through. We agree on that.

My point is the 0-9 stat on Mon is just stupid. I gave one example a few weeks ago. What about when he was here and we played the Chiefs? He put the team in position to win but because we have a mentally weak defensive coordinator the game was lost. Is that on Kirk? No , he did is part but the talking heads will spin the 0 fer Mon Night narrative like it's no one business.

If Cousins was making Derek Carr money, very few would criticize him.

But he isn't, and he isn't because he held our team and others hostage based on self valuation. So if he gets criticized for failing in clutch moments the criticism is merited.

Agreed. And that's what Cousins' apologists will never understand.

I think there is plenty of blame to go around on both sides with Kirk Cousins.

The only blame the Skins have is not cutting him loose and drafting his successor earlier. And that is on the whole FO for holding onto players way past when they should be off the team.

+1

We settled for a 3rd rounder when we probably could've had a first rounder when we first knew he wasn't going to sign here.

How can you hold anybody hostage in a FA contract negotiation?

Nobody has to make an offer, nobody has to accept an offer.

Holding hostage might not be the best term, but he put himself on a pedestal wanting a fully guaranteed short term contract with elite money. And yes, the teams were foolish to acquiesce.

I'm not picking at you, but I never heard or read about his negotiations going public.

He asked for a lot of money structured a certain way. I don't know how that's putting himself on a pedestal.

At the end of his contract, he'll be ready to negotiate another big money contract because of his age.

He bet on himself. He got paid. Nobody held a gun to any NFL team's head and made them offer him anything.
