Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
Okay so after 3 years of the Grud, 2 years of SM and 2 Years of KC, hear is where I am in the whole Cousins deal:
I am fine if we keep Cousins and he is paid long term (I prefer this, in fact). I am also OK if Cousins gets traded for a couple of high picks and/or legit players. I was surprised when I came to this realization in the week after the giants game. I am Gruden fan, SM fan and a KC fan. But I am not a KC fan at the expense of the entire team. KC can win SBs here if the rest of the team is stout. He can also be Dan Fouts and Dan Marino tons of offense that can't win championships. I would rather see more championships than fantasy wasta. To reiterate: I want to see long term deal where KC stays and wins a ton. But I am strangely OK with letting him walk if we get a good price. I love the direction the team is headed and firmly believe all we need is a couple more years to compete consistently. side note, to those being hyper critical of living through a rebuild: I mean FFS - this is the first year we were in every game but 1 against a division champs schedule since...since....I don't know when..91 probably, and we won more than lost! Why cant we simply enjoy the progress....httr |

the way I see QB play in DC is as follows: We havent had 3 consistent years of good QB play here since I have started watching in 81. Seriously - the only good QB we have drafted I think is Sammy Baugh. Two of our SB QBs were retreads, Ryp was not good except for the year he got sacked 9 times and our defense didnt allow a point at home until game 4 at home - not hard to play QB on a team like that. Even Sonny and Billy were not drafted here. so yeas I want KC here for 10+ years but I would rather have Lombardis #4,5,6 and three more average QBs..... |

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
We can pay KC 21-24 million a year and still build a good team around him. How much is Matt Ryan making? Probably somewhere in the low 20's with the current salary cap. The cap goes up the next few years. To me this isn't the issue. The issue comes down to whether Snyder/front office thinks he's worth that kind of money. My guess is they don't.
I would guess that KC will be here next year, maybe w/out a long term deal. But in 2018 he may not be. Especially if Kyle and Boy Wonder are going to be looking for a starter. |

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
Yes there should be room to pay him and have improved team - that is my hope and wish. However what will piss me off is if Cousins gets a good solid offer and makes us tag him again because he wants top 3 ish money - read is more worried about "respect" than winning championships. If cousins goes that route then tag him and get what we can.

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
I'm going a bit mad over this contract/signing/non-signing crap.
Can Cousins take us to a championship? I think most people would say its definitely possible. So then you pay him whatever the going rate is. The going rate keeps going up but fortunately the salary cap does too. He's got enough endorsements from fans/coaches. Just sign him and draft a freakin pass rush.............

Preferably we'll hitch our wagon to him for three years and continue to take shots at QBs in the draft if we think we've got a Russell Wilson. BPA rule applies to the QB position too.

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
For everyone who is OK with watching KC leave, I ask you to consider (I think I have everyone since we won a Superbowl):
RGIII Rex Grossman John Beck Jason Campbell Mark Brunell (the old one) Donovan McNabb (same) Todd Collins Patrick Ramsey Tim Hasselbeck Shane Matthews Danny Wuerffel Tony Banks Jeff George Brad Johnson (well, that might have worked out) Trent Green (same) Gus Frerotte Jeff Hostetler Heath Shuler John Friesz So we have a QB that has broken most franchise records, led us to consecutive winning seasons in I-can't-remember-how-long, was top 5 in most statistical categories in the league this year, is by all accounts a super teammate and all around good guy. . . and folks would let him go for a few picks? Honestly, I do not get this. Unless you have a once-in-a-few decades defense, no team has won it all without a franchise QB.

I agree. When you have a guy that can play, and play very well, you don't let him walk. The cap isn't an issue, I don't know how many more times it needs to be said but we can afford to sign him and still make plenty of improvements.

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
You have to ask yourself if KC even wants to be here. Judging from Rich Cambell's tweets, you can sense this exact thing. It's not hard to read between the lines. (especially with the shot in the back reference)
