I think he's an above average qb throughout the course of a whole season and a mediocre qb in big games. Really good qbs don't throw that pass either. Like honestly what the fuck was he thinking on that throw? And it's not a rare thing. He's done it regularly. See: 1st Dallas game.

I am not saying there is an easy solution to our qb position rite now. There is not. However I do not want to throw millions of dollars away like he did our season today. Ill tell you that much.
This team is full of holes on the field, and the sidelines. However nobody else is standing to get paid like KC. If it were such an easy decision to pay him they would have done it already. They franchised him for a reason.

Last year it wasn't an easy decision, this year it is.

To franchise him or let him go?

I'm not sure if anyone on here realizes this, or perhaps no one wants to admit it, but the Giants are a pretty good team. Their offense leaves a lot to be desired, but they have a SB winning QB and some playmakers. Their defense is for real. They are the only team to beat the Cowboys. Pretty sure they are top 5 in points allowed. Skins barely beat them the first go-round. If not for a fake punt and a couple timely INTs, it would have likely been a loss. I'm glad the Giants didn't rest anyone, and played to win. That is the way it should be. The Skins lost the game, and in turn don't deserve to be in the playoffs. I mean if they can't win a 'win and your in' game at home against a team that really has nothing to play for, other than getting the bad taste out of their mouths after losing to Philly, they have no business being in the playoffs. Period.

And the INT by Cousins at the end of the game was a pass that should not have been thrown, but this team didn't miss the playoffs because of Cousins. This team is probably 4-12 without Cousins. All this talk about him going somewhere else is just the crack talking. Straight garbage... No way in hell he goes anywhere, and the team didn't gain any "leverage" (as was stated earlier in the thread) because of this game, the Panthers game or any other game. He will basically write his own check. Hopefully there's enough $ left to make the defense better.

Great qbs step up with the game on the line, not throw interceptions. Let's not minimize that interception. The interception that ended the game, also ended the Redskins opportunity to get into the playoffs. I think his mind was more on getting respect and his big contract than actually winning games this season.

Is he going to get paid like a great qb? ...Yes, but does he deserve it? No

This. You cannot minimize that throw. Any halfway decent quarterback is aware of the situation- field position-down and distance- etc. and throws that shit away or takes a sack.
I will say I do not think that his mind was on getting respect or anything. I just think he panics.
I do not want to pay for panic.

So you think they will franchise him? How much does he get for the second tag?

Really, great QBs don't throw interceptions with the game on the line? Is today your first day watching football?

I suppose there is an outside chance they use the tag again, but my bet is he gets a contract - a big one.

Letting a top 10 QB walk out of the building with no plan B is not gonna happen.

Yes but lets distinguish between being almost in fg range and it is first and ten down by 3 vs you need to air it out to have any chance of winning.
Great ones throw that particular pass away. Hell mediocre ones throw that away.
Truly puzzled by it. Truly troubled as a Skins fan by his performance today.

Bingo. Once you stop and actually think about it, the answer isn't that hard.

Cousins will be back next year folks. Moving on...

Redskins blow golden chance The Redskins lost four of their last six games including the last two at home to miss the postseason. They controlled their fate multiple times but kept messing it up.

I would think twice about taking the side of a Cowboys fan in an argument about the Redskins.
