Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

[OmahaRedskins]

He had 8 4th quarter drives to put us ahead or win the game. How many more does he need to have that killer instinct?

[sdskinsfan2001]

As of now, Cousins is a Sunday at 10:00 a.m. player.

Move him into primetime, big games, and, for the most part, he lays an egg. That was a huge t-rex dinosaur egg he laid on that interception yesterday.

Who did these games come against? I know last year, he had 2 versus 2 non-playoff teams, the Bucs and Eagles. What were the other 6?

It was discussed on Cooley and Kevin today.

To me, that's just another good stat, he has lots of those. But he's also laid lots of eggs in the big games and those matter the most. As of now, he does not play nearly good enough in big games to have any confidence in him in those situations. I still can't get over that interception. So stupid.

Just one or two when the season's on the line.

It's almost not even debating with most of this fanbase. In the NFL staying the course and not over reacting is what the smart organizations do. We'll see where we're at as an organization this off season.

KC didn't get it done yesterday. But his overall body of work speaks for itself. He's the best Qb we've had here in a long while. Let's not forget that.

Skins fans are so used to blowing things up every couple of years this is just par for the course.

I find it odd that some can't see the progress. From 2004 - 2014 we finished last 8 of those years. 8 times. So far with McCloughan we have a winning record, a division title, and were competing for the playoffs right down until the final game this year.

But yeah let's let Cousins walk, hand the ball to McCoy, and fire the coordinators. Sounds like a recipe for a Super Bowl title next year doesn't it?

Lol. Comical. Blow it up guys, we're not on the path to be a dynasty.

Dallas fans wanted Tony gone too and look what happened last yr... They all started loving him after they saw how good he really is.. They got lucky with Dak and it wont last, he's not a good enough passer to keep up the success. I am disappointed in how many fans are already calling for Kirk and Jay to be let go...

I think this is not only true in big games, but also in within games, meaning when we get into the red zone. Pressure makes some players (and all the great players) better. Kirk tightens up under pressure. So you can aggregate all his stats and decide to be impressed, but success in this league means succeeding in increasingly more high-pressure situations leading into and through the playoffs.

I love watching our team now on 3rd and 6 in the 2nd quarter of a game in the middle of the season against an average team. Kirk looks scary good completing a 20 yard pass to Crowder or Reed. But I am rapidly losing confidence in his ability to do that when we have to win against a Dallas or NYG. He doesn't have the killer instinct. He doesn't improvise under pressure. He crumbles.

Maybe he needs some killer-instinct guys around him to help rev up the energy level of the team. But seeing how badly he plays in must-win games is deeply troubling.

Very sad, but very true.

LOL I am calm,I'm not one of the ones screaming dont resign him.And to say no chance Colt plays better is purely speculation on your part,just as it was on mine.I think everyone agrees Kirk did not play well yesterday.2 bad picks and no es-capability out of the pocket.To say Colt couldnt have come in and and did better than throwing 2 costly picks and only putting 10 points on the board is not unrealistic on my part.
But again,let me reiterate,I am not calling on Colt to be the starter.I do think Colt can handle the pressure of a big game better and to think he could have not done better yesterday is not unrealistic.

Best QB play in 20 years here except one year out of RG3. A few things one must look at the Redskin running game is erratic and has a habit of being non existent from time to time. We all know about how unreliable the defense is. Those are things that put extra pressure on a QB and gives an advantage to the opponent's defense knowing the Redskins have to throw, even in the red zone. You have a QB who threw for just short of 5,000 yards and a 97 rating.
Combine that with a weak college QB class and Colin Kaepernick being one of the better NFL free agent QBs (he will opt out of his contract)and one must think anyone thinking of letting Kirk walk is completely insane.

If they still don't trust Kirk franchise him for $24 mil and pick up a QB next year as a few of this year's underclassmen might be worth a 2nd-3rd round shot next year.

the biggest disappointment I have with KC is two fold.....

1) he gets rattled & can't seem to shake it for the whole game
2) he threw that last INT off his back foot- the same silly shit he did last year

So, if it those things haven't gotten better, why give him a long term raise?

It will be interesting to see where the coaches weigh in...is Kirk successful because of his talents or is he successful because they've set him up to be?

Colt McCoy & Sudfeld can miss the playoffs for us for a whole lot less than paying choke-boy a king's ransom.
