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

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

You know up until today I figured it was a no brainer.
His performance today was atrocious. Even a bunch of his completions were bad throws, but our primo wr corp bailed his butt out.
It is really a tough position for Scot. I mean we should know more than anyone how hard it is to find a decent qb. However you throw that kind of money at him and he continues to make bonehead mistakes in big spots well shit - we can just start a 2025 draft thread now. Lol. That shit would set us back a tad.
It is just so strange that he can be soooooo deadly for most of a season and come up sooooo short in a few key spots. Today - first Dallas game - it doesn't even add up really.

Weirdly enough, Cousins strikes me as someone who might try TOO hard when facing adversity (contract). It was like he kind of settled down once our backs weren't against the wall. Not saying that's a great quality in a QB, but I wonder if paying him would settle him down some. He seems like a genuinely likable guy who works his ass off. I just worry he's trying to do too much. I imagine if we had any semblance of a running game he'd be amazing.

That reminds me, is our offensive line good or adequate? I see a lot of rankings that puts them in the top ten in the league. Just is shocking considering how shitty our run game is. Scheme or talent?

I still think it's a no brainer. He made his share of mistakes, but he has shown enough.

I think if they can improve the defense and get the running game going, he won't feel like he has to do so much and those bonehead mistakes in big spots will go away.

Yeah this sounds pretty much like me up until today. Lol.
He had a defense today to be fair though. When that int happened the run games ineffectiveness was really not even important anymore. We were five yards from fg range and it was first and ten. Plenty of time. Two timeouts. It takes inexcusable to a whole other level. I cant shake it man. Lol.
Like someone else said, we are probably 4-12 without KC. I have said that myself -recently.
He can be an absolute assassin. He can also be an absolute ass.
Oh well. I guess ill start planning my draft day party.

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

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.

Close but no cigar. One or two plays can win or lose a game. One or two games can be the difference between making it or not making it into the playoffs.

And both (game/playoffs) were lost with Cousins' last interception.

I am more thinking of the future. You are right he will probably be back next year. Tag or huge contract though?
If its a tag than we are just buying time. Lets say he throws for 5k again but than throws the season away? Than what?
