Trades ever. I like Alex Smith and he won’t win anything us, couldn’t do it with the chiefs.

Do you think we will win more or less playoff games over the next three years than we did with Kirk the last three years?

I think the FO gave KC a chance to take a mediocre team and lift them to contender. He couldn't do it. I do not think AS is an improvement just different skill sets. I do know that if he is going to lift the skins above mediocrity that he will need better skill players around him. I like CT and hope he returns to old form b/c that will be a great weapon. I am done with the hopes of Jordan Reed being a weapon. He has played fewer games every season for the last three season and fewer snap percentage every season for the last three. At this juncture that is a trend. The FO has some work to do, I hope they do it.

Jay will have to formulate game plans for a far more conservative QB than KC. I hope he can do that but have reservations.

I will wait to make a prediction on playoff wins until I see the team being built. As it stands now I would say we won't win more but we can't win less than we did with KC.

A more conservative quarterback? We replaced a quarterback who often seemed reluctant to throw past the line of scrimmage with a quarterback who led the league in downfield passing.

I do agree we can't win less than we did with KC.

Every analyst I have listened to has said that he has the tendency to hold the ball and take a sack instead of forcing a throw that might lead to a turnover and that Gruden will have to adjust to a more conservative QB. Last year was a career year for AS are you going to base who is on that one year or his entire body of work? If we get last years AS great.

Even if that analysis is correct, it just makes him Kirk Cousins.
