Not drafting a QB a mistake?

Still the decision makers of the next QB is more important than the position itself. imo

We need a strong Defensive HC with a young stud OC who can select the qb in the draft. People who shouldn't be involved in the decision:
Dan Snyder
Bruce Allen
Jay Gruden
Matt Cavanaugh

the jury is still out on Doug Williams, but probably not him either.

If the plan was to give Cousins a long term contract then not so much a big deal.

Again this is all on Bruce Allen and the front office. They botched the Cousins deal from day 1

I think it's on DS/KC. They both acted like little spoiled brats instead of professionals with a job to do.

KC overrated himself, DS overrated RG3. I think the Skins thought in the first two years that the first FT was a reasonable and normal part of the longterm dance. Once they realized KC was being a whiny bot they should have traded him for value and brought in drafted qb's, but KC put up real good numbers, and DS was too much of an aggrieved whiny bot to shut up and trade him to KShanahan

I can assure you a QB will be drafted at some point in the early rounds this yr. Or else we are screwed again. That's why I want to lose out but knowing our luck we will finish 8-8 some freaking how

People in this forum refused to even discuss the possibility that not drafting a QB since 2015 was mistake, in fact many vehemently said it wasn't a mistake.

How many QBs has this franchise passed on?

Look how much money has been spent between Cousins and Alex Smith compared to draft picks?

The past 3 years have been a case study in lack of foresight at the most important position in the NFL.

The money spent is a really good point...Alex Smith money turned out to be a terrible idea...Bruce did not need to extend immediately. Could have traded and said, lets see how this works out first.

Its really funny...Bruce low balled Cousins and then poison pilled Alex Smith. Complete mismanagement, this is why nobody takes this team seriously

So you would have had another year of QB uncertainty, after going through two years of that hell with Cousins?

Cousins low-balled himself when he was demanding money that should only be paid to an elite QB that can carry a team. See how well that's working out in Minnesota.

Allen's biggest mistake was not trading Cousins once they should have realized he wasn't going to play here no matter what.

Cousins countered with 19.5 million per year that is on par with Ryan Tannehill. You can blame Cousins all you want but the FO screwed that up big time. KC is definitely not elite but he is definitely worth the 17th highest QB contract in the NFL.

The haters are going to see what they want to see. It is no use. Lol

No one could have imagined losing QB1 and QB2 in the same season due to broken legs. Sure it would have been nice to have someone on the practice squad, they tried that in 2016 with Sudfeld and the Eagles signed him away.

‘Just stay with Sanchez for a year’.
Let that register......really?
How did we get to this place called Bruce Allenville.
It is time for a change.

Alex Smith's future is in doubt...and there are a lot of great QBs coming out....Tyree Jackson, Will Grier, Dwayne Haskins, and Brett Rypien(Mark's nephew)...they can get a franchise passer in the 2nd or 3rd rounds....

Well according to the analyst next year(2020) is the year for QB's.

Heard the same thing here too. 2019 draft is really thin at QB.

Some QB starved team will over reach for a guy that would have been graded in lower rounds any other year.

The top 3 guys are all pretty good but after that it gets bad.
