Wouldn't it be great though if we could trade cousins for a first rounder in 2014, and the team that trades for Kirk ends up having the worst record, which leads to us getting the first overall pick and we get clowney. Oh the possibilities that could be.

Then Griffin goes down, we have no backup, and we have a top 5 pick the next year. yes, the possibilities are endless.

of course neither of these scenarios are probable.

But St Louis gets that pick anyway so that is a useless pick, and Cousins goes to the playoffs and we get a pick between 20-32. Yay..

I am not only in no hurry to trade Cousins, I wouldn't mind if he stayed a Redskin long term. Not going to happen, but there is value in having a solid back up who could otherwise be considered a starter.

Cousins is a damn nice insurance policy.
We need to forget hes even on the roster.
No one should be so stupid as to trade away their insurance.

What is this Cousins talk? We need a young capable backup, and for the med to long term as well. RGIII is all that, but he is also one massive hit to the knee from maybe calling it a career or just being injury prone. Also, with the my aforementioned post about Kolb and Cassell being overrated busts, that were made hot for just a few games of work, might have teams cool on Cousins. Cousins didn't even get a full 2 games in.

Skins fans hate having two good players in one position.

Fans can dream all they want, fact is Cousins isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

but is he bonafide?

VegasSkinsFan · 03-31-2013, 09:09 PM

It's not that I want to see cousins traded as much as I see a young quality backup QB as an asset. If we didn't have holes in the secondary I would think twice. That and I don't want to have to pay him once he's off his rookie contract. I would rather trade him sooner and fill a hole instead of keeping him and watching him leave for nothing.

Also, I know I'll get killed for this. But I don't mind grossman as a backup for the next two years. I know we won't set the world on fire with him, but he's capable.

MTK · 03-31-2013, 09:25 PM

Grossman over Cousins? Yeah you are gonna get killed and probably rightfully so.

Lotus · 03-31-2013, 09:44 PM

You gotta keep Cousins. We get more mileage out of him while we build his trade value.

But what about if he doesn't play well when comes in to pinch hit next year?? He's not going to be building his trade value then. He has built it because he has played limited games and looked good, a la Kevin Kolb & Matt Flynn. But if that success doesn't continue in limited action, they that value can go right back down.

Not that I think it will, just sayin'....

Not so much grossman over cousins as much as grossman and picks over cousins.
