The Redskins just can't get it right. They fucked up w/ McNabb, RG3, Cousins, the salary cap, Scot and now this. It's a combination of fuck ups that I just can't take anymore. Bruce Allen has naked pics of Snyder w/ a cheerleader.

You're being ridiculous. Alex Smith has been a starting in the league for how long? Compared to Colt McCoy? If McCoy was all that there wouldn't have been the contract issue with Cousins in the first place, he would've been a free agent a year ago.

How many times has Smith topped 20 td passes in his career? How do you go an entire season and not throw ONE TD to a WR??? HOW????? This is now 2 TEAMS that have replaced him. WHY? I'll tell you why, it's because he's limited. He's not taking you anywhere. Look at the Titans game? He couldn't make any plays in the 2nd half of that game. KC couldn't wait for a sucker and they called us first.

I'm NOT saying Colt is better. What I'm saying is the organization would be better off w/ him as a stop gap, keep Fuller, bring in a vet free agent, keep your 3rd rounder and draft someone.

Kirk Cousins has never won a playoff game. He's never gotten a team to 10 wins.

This is the bottom line folks, KC is 26-30 as a starter, meaning at best he's a .500 for his career if the ball bounces right, I bet he won't shine with the Jets who I believe he will sign with.

Cousins is gonna make a killing in free agency now.


My guess is highest paid player in the NFL at a 27 million per year clip. That's insane

Wow. I don’t know. I guess it comes down to which would have pissed me off more, 27-29 mil per with cousins or last night circus.

So you’re hammering the FO for signing someone else, who, by all fair accounts should perform as well as KC for a lot less $$$, at least for the next 2-3 years. I know, i like Fuller too, but he’s just not worth the same as a good starting QB.

The die was cast 2 years ago when we told KC to “prove it.” And not many here were clamoring that we should give KC a long term deal at that point, perhaps you were. After that, the FO had zero options, assuming you wanted KC to Continue to play for us. There was absolutely no point at which KC was agreeing to a long term offer. None.

So stop hammering the FO and the Redskins about this and give Kirk credit for playing things just right in a way no one had done before. And Kirk got lucky that we protected him well for both those seasons. Had he gotten hurt this story would have ended differently.
