Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

Kirk was a little more PC I thought, Alex seems a little more forthcoming. Could also be the difference of being with a team that truly wants you.

Absolutely! Kirk wasn't bad. Just came off more like a politician and occasional douche bag. And I'm a kirk fan.

The "Ewwwwwiiiieeeeee!" Post game reaction was cringe worthy. Maybe not being a douche but it sounded contrived. The "you like that" was definitely spontaneous.

A great example was Smith being honest about getting together with the receivers in the off-season. He said it looked good on Instagram but didn't really matter all that much for the team.

I cannot imagine Kirk saying something like that.

ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

I’m still left wondering what if. What if Snyder had picked Shannahan staying instead of RG3, and the Shannahans, along with Sean McVay would have built a system around Cousins. Wonder where we’d be today.

We learned, as time passed on, Shannahan wasn’t the problem, RG3 was. Cousins being who he is today proved Shannahan was right all along.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

Alex Smith looks the part, and he said it best himself, it's not what he says, they have to go do it. Right.

I do like that he seems genuine. He and Gruden have both said things about being excited to work on the offense together, sounds like Jay is gonna take advantage of a smart veteran QB and have him involved.

He wants to win a championship, he thinks jays offense looked fun, everybody wants everybody to be here. Let's see what they can do.

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

ALex wants to win a SB, he is hungry for it. I like that in my QB.

He has said a few times "The ultimate goal is win a SB" "I know that is what my legacy will be based on" He knows hes 33, time is ticking

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

I was thinking today this might be a new golden age for Redskins QBs, we’re pretty lucky to go from Cousins to Smith.

We’re probably looking at a good 6-7 year stretch of highly productive QB play, just need to start making it count in the win column.

If you count RG3 we have had 4 great QB seasons in the past 6 years. now with AS we should have 3 for sure at a high level. Need to draft a QB in 2020

Oh God. If there is one former quarterback who should never be mentioned by name again it is him. I don’t think he ever completed a pass for over 4 yards. Actually I don’t think he ever attempted a pass for over four yards. That was probably the most trying time to be a Skins fan.

I remember screen shots of the D when playing against him. All eleven guys were within 10 - 12 yard of the LOS - maybe a safety less than 20 yards back. It was laughable.

Which was 2 seasons after I became a Skins fan... talk about testing your love early in a relationship! Can only go up from there!

Re: ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

I know everyone is having a Smith lovefest. Really hope it all works out with him. But had the Redskins been patient, or had some vision they could have possibly signed one of the top FA QB's, kept Fuller and the pick, plus maybe saved money on the cap. W/ Smith as our starter, we're probably not better than Philly and possibly Dallas. We're worse at corner and down a 3rd rounder. How does that make us better?

I see your point of view although, I fail to see which FA QB (beside Cousins) will be adequate replacement like Smith is? Bradford is probably closest as best QB available but with his injury history, he is not reliable.
