Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

Whatever it is, it isn't the same thing as melding your own passion with external pressure to produce an elevated result. How people perform in situations like Sunday's is revealing, unless you're a pure stat-hound.

I did a poor job of conveying this message,. I never meant to imply that Kirk didn't have any passion.

Kirk Cousins on contract talks: 'I'm not trying to suck out every dollar possible' | CSN Mid-Atlantic

here is the interview

[mredskins]

We are just getting silly now about KC. The guy is not the problem of this team. The only question in regards to KC is do we have to pay him so much that we can't put anyone else around him to help him win. That is the million dollar question in regards to KC.

[Evilgrin]

I think you have to resign him, just worried he is Tony Romo 2.0. We've all seen Romo puke all over himself in big games. Kirk's emotions make him worse in big situations not better. He had 2 of his worst games of the year in the last 3 must win games. He isn't Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady, but he is about to get PAID like he is. So we have every right to hold him to those expectations.

I think KC saw how the games were affecting his negotiations and that caused the problem. I believe once the contract situation is behind hiim he will relax into a multi year probowl talent. Remember the first 2 games there was a LOT of focus on KCs contract and then again after his 2nd Cowboys game. I say give him 6yrs 24m per year avg value an let him put football first.

Great post. If he had a complete team around him I think he would relax and not feel like he has to win the game on every throw. He had next to no defense this year, no run game, and a field goal kicker that couldn't be counted on. Amazing that He / We had as much success as we did.

Cousins - just stop whining on the radio and STFU already.

[warriorzpath]

Why in the hell do we get these qbs that are freaking head cases? Oh you don't feel love because the Redskins wanted RGIII to succeed over you. Boohoo. The Redskins gave you the opportunity to be able to make all this money and helped develop you as a player. My god, stop acting like a bitch and instead of being upset at the Redskins - just use this crap to motivate you to work hard at your craft. Couldn't wait to get on the radio and talk about your contract after a poor performance that helped kill the playoffs opportunity. Where's your priority? Your contract or freaking winning games?

[warriorzpath]

I swear I've never heard a player bitch so much about making $20 million a year... And talk about showing him some love. Where's the freaking perspective? He went from being a backup qb to $20 million plus qb. And you don't feel no love and you're feeling you're being unfairly treated- For all of the people that weren't born with silver spoons in their mouths, I want to say f ck you!

[warriorzpath]

If I was Cousins, even with the bad game against the Giants, I would be happy and be feeling good about myself. Because I'm a good NFL qb- which is no small feat- and feel I'm only getting better. And I'm about to get paid a lot of money.

Cousins is acting like... I can't think of a better description... he's acting like a bitch. Stop with this petty sh t and get over it. You have a bright future- act like it!

[warriorzpath]

Before this, we had a qb in RGIII, that thought his sh t don't stink. And now, a qb, that wants you to not only smell his sh t but tell him that it doesn't stink. And preferably, he wants you say it smells like roses.

[Meks]

Comparing that diva rg3 act while he was here to cousins is laughable. You're reaching big time and letting your frustration of our season ending fuel all this shit about cousins. He's the best qb we've had in a while and the best option we have right now and surely it looks that way for next year as well. No sense in crying over spilt milk dude

[SolidSnake84]

Cousins should have never been placed in the position of "I have to score 30 points every game" just to have a chance at winning. He had no defense, no run game, and the NFL's worst field goal kicker. Hopkins singularly cost us at least 3 games because he can't make kicks. If not for all of the above, we'd still be bitching about the giants loss, but we would still have been in the playoffs.
