[QUOTE=KI Skins Fan;1145187]The highlighted quote is truly the most ridiculous thing I can remember reading on this site.[/QUOTE]



Come on man , you never want your team going deep into the playoffs with your qb playing like a stud when you can get rid of him for a game manager and than win a super bowl. Jeez.

Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
 

Come on folks with this Cousins talk...I don't get it because its simply nothing to get. Cousins will be a Skins as long as he keeps on this path he has built since entering the league. Lets enjoy this run with a decent QB.

Well played Redskins!! They put Kirk's face on the Cleveland Browns game ticket. Way to burn RG3.

[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]

So ... here is the "1% chance" stuff about signing Cousins. It was from LaCanfora and was dealing with the chances of signing Cousins to a long-term deal after signing the franchise tender. It had/has nothing to do with signing him long-term next year:

[quote]La Canfora offered up his own projections earlier in the week in assessing [B]the odds of each team extending its franchise-tagged player before Friday’s 4 p.m. deadline. He put the Redskins’ chances of landing a deal with Kirk Cousins at one percent.[/B]
“I can remember the piece I wrote in November when they first met in Chicago and basically they told his camp, ‘You’re never going to hit the open market this offseason,'” he told Dukes.

“And even at the time, I reported then it was close to certain the Redskins would franchise this guy if they had to. And [Cousins] was already spinning it forward, knowing with his agents, once they do that, I’m going to sign it.

“And then once the thing’s signed, and the quarterback market explodes the way it did, then I think this has always been sort of the short-term endgame. And, you know, these guys haven’t had to pay big bucks to a quarterback, I mean, really ever, right?”

...

[B]“If he plays well, he’s not leaving,” La Canfora ironed out the bottom line. “They’ll have to overpay to keep him and maybe three years from now there’s some ramifications to it, but, again, I think given all that they’ve gone through at that position, I think you could sign them up for that.”[/B][/quote]

The concept that KC is a one-and-done player if he takes us deep into the play-offs is just beyond silly and not a point worth acknowledging much less debating. I only chime in on this b/c I saw this clip and remembered the reference to a "1% chance of resigning" with some vague allegations of who said it and when.

Said it before, will say it again: Kirk plays well, Kirk gets paid and Kirk stays. Kirk does not play well, Kirk does not get paid and Kirk goes. If he goes, it is back to the f'ing QB drawing board one more time - which would suck big giant goat testicles.

At least you have to give him credit. Of not holding out like a lot of players do.

[quote=SolidSnake84;1145171]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, [B]which the Skins flat out won't pay.[/B] 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[/quote]

Right, because that's just too large of a number, regardless of salary cap percentages, or other nuanced details that explain why average qb's today are making slightly less than that.

Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
 

I am enjoying a drama free training camp, but i am tired of the KC contract talk. Let's enjoy the season and worry about it next year.

I almost wish there was some drama to push the contract talk to the back.

Totally Agree!

Some fans didn't get the no drama memo apparently.

No offense Solid Snake. You are a little anxious all things considered, but ninny muggins is just funny!

Re: Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread
 

I love all you guys and aren't offended what so ever. I am a nervous nelly in pretty much all things, but especially when it comes to my beloved skins. Well played folks, well played :)
