[quote=SolidSnake84;1145114]Can't find the link right now but I was listening to Redskins on the radio, and I BELIEVE that it was Cooley who said he thinks there is a less than 1% chance Cousins gets re-signed based on what he has seen and heard around Redskins park. I always felt like Cooley was a pretty sensible guy, ie - not saying crazy stuff generally..[/quote]

Relax, man. Everything is fine. Cousins isn't going anywhere. SM is in control and he is the real deal as GM. Cooley is so full of shit his eyes are brown.

Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
 

lol the Skins would have to be retarded to keep a guy for $20M if they had no interest in him as the long term answer. They could have went with McCoy and signed a couple more free agents with that money.

Was that to a long term deal this year or at the end of the year?

Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
 

If Cooley said anything like that, hard to believe someone like Florio wouldn't be all over it.

Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
 

Cooley also said Freeney was coming in this week.

That's right you heard it hear first. Dilfer is coming out of retirement so he can be the weak link on a championship Redskins squad, all because Dan Snyder feels like being cheap towards Kirk Cousins.

[quote=MTK;1145085]Sudfeld is a project, hard to imagine him developing too quickly, if he does at all.[/quote]

Sudfeld is a beat up, rusted old classic car right now. He's a project car. They're going to keep him in the garage for 1-3 years, invest very little in him and then make a decision, which will be:

A. QB is a hole (sorry Kirk), they've seen enough out of Sudfeld to make him a starter and give him the beaucoup bucks.

B. Hopefully raised his trade value enough that we flip him for a solid pick.

C. Cut him loose because he's a still a rusted old piece of shit not worth investing in anymore.

Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
 

Kirk will get a long deal, CC just wants to be relevant again.

Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
 

Sudfield will be gone in a couple of years. He won't be worth much.

So someone of importance thinks that if Cousins goes out this year and is a top ten QB, and leads us to infinity and beyond that the Redskins do not care because they are already sure he is not coming back????
Wow.
I hope that said person is let go before Cousins. Its hard to even have this conversation because we have been in QB hell for two decades. Now we have what appears to be a potential star in the making - very early on in his career- and brass is letting Cooley know that there is almost no chance he comes back? All this before he even plays a pre season game in his first true year going into the season as the starter?

I'm not 100% sure that it was Cooley, but it was a semi-relevant Redskin. I'm trying to go back and find the link so i can post it for you guys to give your thoughts on the piece. Numerous articles on Scott M - defending his thinking, and believing that they can find a "budget" QB that will be able to be "Just as good" as Cousins, while costing far less. Moneyball at the QB position, if you will.

IMO, Cousins' best chance for a big payday is that he plays well enough this year that someone wants to give him the long term deal with the security that he has been after. If he plays lights out and the skins go deep in the playoffs, that is really the worst case for the skins because he at that point would be in the neighborhood range of 22 - 24 million, which the Skins flat out won't pay. But somebody will. Ever since this whole story has been going on, here are the teams that I think have the best chance to get Cousins in 2017, and make sense.

Miami
Denver
San Francisco
New York Jets

If the Skins get deep in the playoffs, and KC is at all part of the solution, he will sign a contract here for at least 6 year, 150 million, 70 million guaranteed. Feel free to bookmark this if you need to.

Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
 

Once again, why bother giving KC $20m this year if there's little chance of him being here long term? If SM wanted to play money ball, $20m could have shored up a few other positions. And if you're ok win paying him $20m this year, why wouldn't you be ok with paying him $24m next year as long as he earns it?

The highlighted quote is truly the most ridiculous thing I can remember reading on this site.

Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
 

There isn't a coach or GM in the league that would prefer a game manager over a stud QB.
