The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

Later Kirk. Kind of a sad way for you to go out of town. I guess in the end neither side really wanted each other.

Kirk never wanted to be a Redskin, if he did he would have said that last year and signed a deal, it's not just about the $, he doesn't care for BA, who blatantly called the guy "Kurt" on TV.. It's a joke and I'm glad its over

KC may have soured on the Skins, but it's all on Snyder and Allen, who failed to properly cultivate him from day one, or more likely ignored him as a Shanahan project of no importance.

We seem to have normalized this idea that Cousins didn't really want to be here. He was drafted by us and turned out to be one of our best picks ever given the RG3 bust. It's a debacle that we f'd up the RG pick and a bigger debacle that we f'd up the backup plan. Good teams develop talent and sign them, people like Cousins and Fuller.

It's fine to praise the Smith signing under the circumstances, but the circumstances are that we Skins fans are huddled together under the derailed train doing triage, searching for scraps of food, and hoping that the same engineer who crashed the train gets us back on track and drives us to our destination.

So hooray for Alex Smith. The deal only makes us a tad worse than we were this past season. But in bizzarro Redskins World, really we're much better because Kirk was going to leave anyway and Colt McCoy was going to be our QB. We've not only drunk the koolaid, we're addicted to it.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are in the Super Bowl. Think about that while we debate Alex Smith's cup size.

The Eagles are in the Superbowl with Alex Smith's backup. Pretty sure that Andy Reid would have kept Nick Foles if he was better than Alex Smith.

Andy Reid kept AS for 5 years, and was 1st or 2nd in the AFC West each year. Obviously it's a team sport, but AS can clearly lead a winning team. And in 3 years his cap hit of around 23 million will look great versus the cap, if it continues as it has been going.
