In hindsight - Did he go diva? Sure. Was he a solid QB? Yup. Did BA f*** by not locking him up long term two years ago? Yup. Did that screw-up cost us a good young player in Fuller? Yup. Is Alex Smith a better QB? IMHO, Yup.

I am just glad the drama is over and we can get move forward. Cousins is gone and there is lots of blame to go around.

Right now, the Skins are making good moves (and non-moves) in the off-season and have a QB who wants to be here and who fits the scheme in place.

Just. Move. On.

I agree with everything except the tidbit about Alex being better. Less mistakes? Definitely. Less total td's? Also yeah, unless you think he's going to keep improving over last year as he advances in his 30's. I don't expect Smith to take us deep in the playoffs, I'm just hoping he's a solid bridge qb until we get our next young developer.

Barring injury QBs should be able to play at a high level into late 30s. Especially smart QBs.

I accept your argument. Please support your thesis with multiple examples, i.e. don't point to Brady (aka the GOAT) and use him as the sole example of modern trends supporting your argument.

Drew Brees is 39. Favre was beat to hell and played till how old? Philip rivers, and Eli are 36 or 37 and will go a few more years.
Same with big Ben.

I qualified it "IMHO." Some may agree. Some may disagree. Comparable QB's in my mind. One older and cheaper. One younger and wanted out.

Moving on.
