Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

[warriorzpath]

There are some issues to this, but it's better than not having a good qb. The main one would be- he'll hamstring the Redskins' salary cap, especially early on.

Because I think everyone can agree that he's currently not elite, but he'll be paid like one. Salary cap percentage and inflation be damned.

[warriorzpath]

So now I can separate 1) the decision with what to do with Cousins versus with what I think 2) how he's handling his contract and how he's played.

[warriorzpath]

He's played poorly in key games when he needed to step up. And he's played scared. Probably because of his contract. I liked him much more towards the end of last year when he played with swagger and a sense of fearlessness. I thought he was going to build on that but instead when you thought he was going to take off- he'd regress.

[warriorzpath]

He'd have games and glimpses but then he'd have a disappointing series and disappointing games.

We know that. So what's your verdict, sign him or cut him?

And folks on here wonder why I'm upset and post things a gigalion times. Here's my post, just a scroll up the page:

My solution's the best in my opinion- Dan Snyder, Bruce Allen and whoever currently has something against Cousins- need to check their ego and just pay the man to a long term deal.

It's what's best for the Redskins. And in the meantime, if you want you can actively pursue a replacement. Companies in other industries do this all the time. It's smart business.

... and that's why I was so upset when he was openly talking about his contract so soon after the last game of the season.

It's not the dollar number we need to be concerned with, it's the percentage-of-the-salary-cap number that matters. As long as it doesn't screw with our ability to build the rest of the team it will be fine, whether that # is 22 mil, 24 mil, etc.

[warriorzpath]

I never really felt like he addressed what happened with the Giants game and didn't feel like it was important to him because he didn't really address it. It was on to HIS future and HIS contract. No real reflection of the Redskins team or season.

[warriorzpath]

This is the first time that I heard of negotiating off of salary cap percentage. My bet is Cousin's agent made that up.

I really do not think Kirk is the greedy d-bag that some think he is. Let's just see how this pans out before we decide what the truth is.

Let's face it - a majority of people are greedy. And not just the NFL. At this point, I don't fault him for this.

But as a Redskins fan first, I take offense to the way he's discussed his contract and seemingly openness to leaving. And the lack of positivity expressed for the Redskins team, including teammates and coaches, and also for the Redskins' future.

We get that. Very much.
What makes your "solution" so brilliant? Thats all I was asking. Im done now. Sorry Chico. You were right and I was wrong. I swear to God.

Signing KC to a long term deal, and than if it doesn't pan out find a replacement and trade Cousins?
How is this a beautiful solution? Lol. Replacements are hard to find. It just took us about 33 years.
What about the other holes we have to fill? Don't they come into the discussion? If it were as easy as you say it would have been done a year ago. It just is not that simple.

I hope you get that you have Cousins still if you don't find a replacement, right?

I just wanted to make sure that everyone is following what I'm saying.
