Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

[MTK]

People need to read the Jones link a little more carefully. He's offering up his opinion. Take from it what you will.

Wow, it's almost like this story is making the rounds like he has a source inside the organization saying they don't like Cousins as a long term solution!

You mean like part of the article?

"For right now, Kirk has not done enough to show what you need to see to give that guy $50 million guaranteed," he said. "He's playing like an $18 million quarterback right now."

"Is that your opinion, or have you talked to people in the organization?" Jason Bishop asked.

"That's my educated opinion," Jones responded

Talking with SS though, he believes they are still unsure of paying him.


Let's throw some more fuel on this fire...lol

Some key points I agree on:

And all of this means . . . what? The numbers look heavy, but for half a season, they have felt flimsy. Washington is just a middle-of-the-pack scoring team. Cousins still makes too many mistakes and squanders too many opportunities.

I also think this is a valid point. Not necessarily that scoring is all on Cousins, but he's left little to desire in red zone efficiency this year.

This is how you build the case that Cousins is an empty stat collector. This is how you figure he is the creation of Gruden and an offensive staff that runs one of the most clever systems in the NFL. This is how you look at Washington’s poor red-zone performance this season and conclude that the quarterback doesn’t do enough when the passing windows are tighter and daring decision-making and moxie factor into performance.

Cousins has not looked flimsy for half the year. That is just false.
It is 90% play calling that is killing us in the red zone.

I don't think they said that Cousins looked flimsy for half the year. Here is the actual quote

In other words, we have a lot of yardage, but they don't equate to points.

Yup. Our entire issue on offense is rz. I say that is way more on coaches than any player.

Check yourself, they are going to complete a fade with a dude who hasn't practiced all summer before the end of the year!!!!!!!!

In all seriousness, I think McVay outsmarts himself sometimes.

Other times, like the read option against Detroit, the dude is brilliant.

The never ending fade attempt reminds me of the toss sweep from a few years back. I want to say it was Zorn? There was the one season where we just never gave up on the toss sweep in short yardage situations, and never got the first down either. Teams would just blow it up for a loss.
