Re: Cousins Open to Trade.
 

[quote=skinsfan69;1060460]I do. He has a stronger arm, better mobility, throws a better deep ball and has a little bit better mobility. He just needs to play and get experience/reps.[/quote]

Let's agree to disagree. Either way he needs to be given his opportunity. I think the best situation for Kirk would be Canada, just to prove himself. He has not wowed anyone as of yet. If he truly has confidence in his skills Canada could do wonders for him, if he is truly good.

You want him as far away from the starting job here, as possible. Don't you? Would enjoy seeing you freak out if we brought in someone (or if Kirk catches fire) who actually competes against RG3.

If history's any indicator, Cousins will get playing time this season. And if we're doing well, hopefully help the team like he did in 2012.

You can't even be taken serious with these silly ass comments. You dislike Cousins on a personal level, for whatever reason. This thread needs to be put out of it's misery.

I was thinking more stupid but your word works.

Re: Cousins Open to Trade.
 

We could fill Fletcher's spot by trading Cousins to:

Arizona for Daryl Washington or Jasper Brinkley (Dansby is a FA but is old and perhaps expensive)
or
Oakland for Nick Roach
or
Jacksonville for Paul Posluszny

Re: Cousins Open to Trade.
 

[quote=skinsfan69;1060458]I think someone from the front office needs to give his agent a call and tell him to stop talking. Nothing wrong with wanting to play, but I do believe that he needs to stop doing all these interviews and just be quiet. At this point in time, he's a backup and needs to act like it. Be seen and not heard. Let your play in spring practices do your talking for you.[/quote]

Right now there's nothing going on so I say let him talk if he wants, once things start rolling again I'm pretty sure he'll let the issue die down.

I'd love to get Puz but we'd have a new hole to fill.

Keeping Cousins seems to make the most sense.


Are these almost daily reports of Cousins wanting a trade coming from Kirk himself, or just the media trying to stir up another fake controversy for us? I know he originally said it, but is he harping on it as much as the media? I'm doubting it.


Of course he wants to start. I wouldn't want a player on the roster who isn't striving to be the best at his position. If he really does become a problem, trade him to a horrible team like Jax and let him get what he wanted.

I would be a little surprised if the FO didn't encourage him to get his name out. If he was able to raise his value to a 2nd by looking energized and ready to go then good for him. It's kinda the same philosophy as letting a FA know you want him, but if he wants to test the market, go ahead, we have a deal for you here if you don't find better.

Re: Cousins Open to Trade.
 

I get that wanting to get your name out is good. But NFL general managers aren't going to judge him by listening to interviews, they're going to look at the film, look at his work ethic and so on. I can't remember a back-up doing this much media. I can see doing one, but he keeps talking it seems every week.
