[quote=SolidSnake84;1187538]Well said. Maybe Alex Smith will be our version of Tom Brady and still is playing very well by the time he hits 40. We can use the picks in that span to improve the team at our various needs...[/quote]

I'm seeing all these stats and descriptions of how great Smith is. Yet he didn't look that good when I've seen him, and the Chiefs and their fans are perfectly fine trading him. What gives?

If he was that great, the Chiefs would have kept him.

Chiefs have a good young QB waiting in the wings. The Chiefs knew they could get a good deal on Smith .The Redskins knew KC didn't want to stay and sure is not worth 34 million a season so this seems like a good deal for all involved.

Did u see him on MNF against us this yr? The last drive says it all, when they NEEDED a play AS rolled away from pressure and threw a laser to #12 forget his name but I can see that play in my head as I type this. Also he killed us scrambling. Sometimes it's not always about the 300 yards passing games and 3 tds.. He makes plays when it counts

[quote=HTTR;1187533]KC may have soured on the Skins, but it's all on Snyder and Allen, who failed to properly cultivate him from day one, or more likely ignored him as a Shanahan project of no importance.

We seem to have normalized this idea that Cousins didn't really want to be here. He was drafted by us and turned out to be one of our best picks ever given the RG3 bust. It's a debacle that we f'd up the RG pick and a bigger debacle that we f'd up the backup plan. Good teams develop talent and sign them, people like Cousins and Fuller.

It's fine to praise the Smith signing under the circumstances, but the circumstances are that we Skins fans are huddled together under the derailed train doing triage, searching for scraps of food, and hoping that the same engineer who crashed the train gets us back on track and drives us to our destination.

So hooray for Alex Smith. The deal only makes us a tad worse than we were this past season. But in bizzarro Redskins World, really we're much better because Kirk was going to leave anyway and Colt McCoy was going to be our QB. We've not only drunk the koolaid, we're addicted to it.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are in the Super Bowl. Think about that while we debate Alex Smith's cup size.[/quote]

The Eagles are in the Superbowl with Alex Smith's backup. Pretty sure that Andy Reid would have kept Nick Foles if he was better than Alex Smith.

Andy Reid kept AS for 5 years, and was 1st or 2nd in the AFC West each year. Obviously it's a team sport, but AS can clearly lead a winning team. And in 3 years his cap hit of around 23 million will look great versus the cap, if it continues as it has been going.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0
 

They're in the Super Bowl mainly because of Carson Wentz.

I have no problem with AS as our QB. I have a problem with the Skins FO who could have signed Cousins for much less than Cousins on tags + AS's new contract.

The net result of how we handled Cousins is that we have a QB with a much shorter shelf life, less cap space, and no Kendall Fuller.

And all we need this FO to do now is upgrade the defense, find a running game, and bring in some wide receivers.

This is spinning our wheels, or as Bruce Allen calls it, winning off the field.

That's more hindsight tho. We should have never franchised him in the 1st place and drafted a qb 3 years ago based on how it played out. But, you just move on. So glad its over with. Our QB of the future will be picked next year and learn from vet that all his former players and Vernon Davis love for a year or 2. I think this trade sets us up well for the future.

Yeah but three years ago and three months ago are two entirely different things. They had to know leading up to the deadline that he was gonna be gone one way or another. We dropped the ball on this one ... no doubt.

I think Schneed said it best, he didn't want to be here, and he played the game perfectly for himself. NFL is a tough business and players don't owe owners or fans anything so good for him for himself. But as a Skins fan, if a player bitches over not being loved enough despite being drafted by the team when he got passed over a 100+ times, and made 44 million the last 2 years, I can all him a pansy ass bitch.

He never committed to our team or said I want to be here 100%, so fuck em man. Never made a counter offer either. Is Jay a great HC? No, I don't think so. Can he make dudes like Dalton and Kirk 2nd Cousins have great stats? Sure can, been doing it for like 8 straight years or something.

Kirk is a cry baby who constantly needs pats on the back in an industry where feelings don't matter.

He's an under .500 QB who pretends like he's just as good as Aaron Rodgers. Hey Kirk, you're not. Get over it bro.

I'm glad we got Alex locked in with more room to bring in or resign some Hogs. HTTR!

For me, i think what it comes down to is, that Kirk thinks he's better than he actually is and needs everyone to confirm it for him.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0
 

Cousins got a lot of credit for being some amazing person, when in actuality, he just beat Smithers in chess. The person I hate the most on this site, i still believe 100%, could beat BA in any game/match. I actually like everyone here, but you get my drift.

One of the things I am excited about, when Cousins finally signs with his new team, he is going to do one of those interviews where everything is exposed, and he's going to tell you what it was really like being here. But Kirk will do it in a classy way, he will be political about it all, while telling the truth and not going out of his way to overly badmouth the team. I would like to hear his side.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0
 

I don’t see Kirk dishing any dirt. He’s not that guy. He’ll just say he’s happy to be wherever he signs and he’s ready to get to work.

I just don't understand how Skins fans dog a QB that in 3 years performed better than all most any QB in the league. this year was probably his best year when you factor in injuries, lack of WR support, lack of a running game and a HORRIBLE Defense. Go back to last year and the games the D lost in the 4th quarter. if our D was half as good as it actually was we win 10-11 games and aren't having this discussion. I have been a skins fan for a LONG time and I can never remember having a guy under center that legitimately gives us a chance to win every game. As an organization - you want to win. Bruce and Dan just seem to crap in the face of the fans and the overall betterment of the team. Bruce gets rid of not 1, but 2 1000 yard receivers!! And to me, was done to undermine kirk to try and prove he wasn't worth the franchise money. Egos shouldn't get in the way of doing what is best for the organization and it continuously does with these idiots.

I think KC is a qb who's stats look better than his results. He had a knack for a terribly timed interception that was on nobody but him and it seemed like sometimes in the redzone his brain would just Fritz. Maybe that will change at his new team, but thatis why I am not shedding a tear for a guy who took the franchise for every dollar he could.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0
 

I agree with CRed somewhat. I think KC is good, don't get me wrong. But his stats look like top 5 in the NFL because of the Gruden system. We have to give credit where it's due - the guy knows how to scheme in such a way to leverage his talent.

In 2016 he had Pierre, DeSean, and Reed mostly healthy and playing. We played Jackson deep and Reed and Garcon in the seams and underneath, it worked well. Now in 2017 Gruden realizes he's not as stacked at WR so he uses the athleticism of Trent, Scherff and Chris Thompson to crank up the screen game.

Andy Reid does this well, too. So I still conclude that Smith will basically duplicate Cousins's production, maybe with fewer turnovers. But I think it means that Cousins better be careful where he lands, because the scheme here was pretty QB friendly. He needs to make his way to something similar or he could end up disappointing his new fans.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0
 

Kirk had quite a few games where he had "garbage yards" if you will, when the D was in prevent and he was able to sling it around.. His best overall performance was The GB game and the Dallas T-GIving game, both of those he proved he can be a top tier passer.

Who knows, I was good with letting them go too, even tho Garcon was my favorite player. Overpaying older players or overrated qbs is not good for winning.

The time has come I guess to pick him apart and justify why we feel ok with moving on.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0
 

I have no further interest in KC's past or future in the NFL. It's not a negative thing. It's just that he's no longer part of my favorite team and I'm a straight homer.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0
 

I don't read KC's quotes as whining or complaining -- it seems pretty matter-of-fact to me. And let's be honest, it's pretty shitty that he (and Fuller) found out about all of this not from the team, but through social media.

I wish we had a classier and better managed organization than one which would do that sort of thing. But we don't. KC has done nothing but work hard and do what is asked of him -- it's pretty shabby treatment to not even give him the courtesy of a "hey, fella, we've decided we're going in a different direction" call. Even if KC said he was not going to sign anything until FA began, so what? Bruce Allen -- is your ego so fragile that you can't take it? (I am speaking rhetorically here.) Seriously, this seems like the kind of crap that makes players have second thoughts about whether this is a team that they'd want to be on.

Yes, you're definitely in the anger phase.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0
 

I don't begrudge anybody for going for what they want. He wanted to play for an organization with a more winning pedigree. Fine.

That said, he really shouldn't be surprised the Redskins made a move. I mean they made several overtures and he said he wanted to go to free agency. You can't blame them. The last thing they could afford to do is go into free agency, try to bid for Kirk, and ultimately have him decide to go somewhere else. By then they would have missed out on Alex Smith and who knows how many other options.

You didn't want to be a Redskin. That's OK, it's your right. But as soon as the team realized you weren't interested, it's their responsibility to figure out another plan. Smith is a good option.

I'll always have a soft spot for Kirk but yeah, you can't help but feel spurned by the obvious desire to leave juxtaposed against all the sweet talking he did about Washington. Just stop, and move on with your career.

I have no major beef either and will always pull for him.

That said, it was painfully obvious he wanted to leave, and so all the sweet talking he does about wanting to still be a Redskin is pretty disingenuous.

But I guess he had to say all the right things in case we ended up being the place he ultimately chose to come back to.

Can't be mad at him. Also, can't blame Bruce Allen for making an aggressive move. You can blame him for not signing Cousins in 2015, but you can't blame him for trading for Smith now.

Time for everybody to pull up their big boy pants and tie their big boy shoes and move on with life. Let's sign some mother f'n free agents! I'm ready for the next episode.

You'd think the Redskins might want to pick up the phone and tell Fuller and Cousins what's going on, before they hear it on social media or a text message. But this is what I expect from the Redskins. They do business in a shitty way.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0
 

I think this the players finding out on Twitter shit is way overblown.

Someone leaked this story earlier than planned and it happened in KC.

It's a non story. It's impossible for teams to control this kind of thing with the speed of information these days. These guys all know they are in a field where they can be traded, released, etc. It's not like one of us being traded or fired and hearing about it 2nd hand.

Also, you don't usually tell the guy you're trading or replacing until a deal is done. So don't tell me a good organization would give them a heads up.
