Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

[sdskinsfan2001]

Time to watch Nate Sudfeld highlights and get amped up and psyched out.

I'm secretly hoping Cousins has a Panthers/Norman type situation and SM let's him go. Why? Because he is going to get way more than he's worth from us or some other team. I rather have it be another team. And no, I don't have the answer for who starts, but I don't want to over pay out of fear. We can find someone.

Sure, we only waited 20 years to find this one, finding another one should be pretty easy right?

Yea, he has good stats, but what exactly have we waited 20 years for, a qb that can get us to 8-7-1? I know there are other factors to that record like our sieve defense, but it's not exactly like he is dominating the nfl. I just don't think he's worth more than 20 million a year and it sounds like he's gonna want a lot more than that. No thanks. That's just my opinion though. I know people will disagree and there are a lot of good points to be made from your side. If he gets 25 million a year and takes the next leap, I'll gladly eat crow at that time.

What is the goal here, anyway? I thought it was to build a team that can win a Super Bowl. No team can win a Super Bowl these days with a run-of-the-mill QB. In fact, it has rarely been done before now.

Where are you going to get this cheap QB who can lead us to the Super Bowl?

- There are 22 NFL QB's who are being paid an average of $17M or more per season under their current contracts.

- There are 15 NFL QB's who are guaranteed $65M or more under their current contracts.

- The Franchise Tag for QB's in 2017 will be $24M. That's the baseline for Kirk Cousins, one year at $24M fully guaranteed. As of today, there are 19 NFL QB's who are each contractually guaranteed more than $24M.

In the NFL, you need a good QB to win. We have a good QB. Good QB's are hard to find and they are paid extremely well, as shown above; therefore, in order to win we must pay our good QB extremely well. It's so simple that some of us think there must be more to it than that. There isn't.

The alternative? Hope for a lightning strike on FedEx Field with a good and cheap QB emerging from the smoking turf.
