The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

[MTK]

The stat padding theory is weak at best and mostly classic hater talk. Right from one of the links above:

There are issues with what Smith is saying, not the least of which is that it doesn’t make any sense.

First, what’s good for Cousins is good for the Redskins. If the quarterback is posting big numbers, it stands to reason the offense is moving and, one would hope, putting points on the scoreboard. Second, if the plays are being called in concert with the offensive coordinator, Cousins isn’t really responsible for the plays at all.

If Smith’s point was that Cousins produces a lot because the Redskins frequently are trailing or are in garbage time, that might be another story. Smith probably should provide some evidence to back that up, though.

Yea. And again, that is most likely from Garcon and DJax talking about the 2016 season.
