Kirk Cousins pick 4.7

[warriorzpath]

Don't get me wrong, stats like any other kind of number can be used as guidelines. But the end-all to bad, good, or great... not for me.

[warriorzpath]

... going back to my point that stats alone can't determine sh*t. Potential, ability, or otherwise.

They can only be used as guidelines. And I don't know what you are saying with responsible usage. There's only different opinions and judgments. Like who was better- Elway or Marino? Brady or Manning? There's no absolute truth to any of these answers. Only opinions and judgments.

Has anyone heard that the Redskins picked Cousins, because the Broncos took Bolden? I

[CultBrennan59]

^ yes there is some truth to that.


Omar Bolden, the CB out of ASU was considered a late 1 early 2nd rounder but he got injured in practice before the season started, and never came back. The Skins worked him out and liked him at that first 4th rounder, but he was gone. Him being gone, and Cousins being that highly ranked made it an easier decision for shanahan.

I'm just glad that this Kirk Cousins talk is dying down.

All the so called experts that ripped the Skins for drafting Cousins don't know shit. Now a days and in the past you need 2 good QB's on your team, Grossnan isn't one of them. Cousins is insurance in case RGIII gets hurt.

Another new word for Ruh.

I concur. A lot of these NFL analysts don't know anything. If they were smart they would observe closely what the Redskins quarterback situation was and came to the conclusion that the Redskins not only desperately needed a quality starter to man the position, but equally a quality back up. Rex Grossman is only the back up because he knows the offense. The drafting of Kirk Cousins could prove to be one of the most valuable picks by the Redskins in years.

The overly defensive position some people take in regards to Cousins is silly.
Only time will tell if Cousins was the 'right' pick or a 'good' pick.
It will depend on how Cousins pans out compared to how the other players that were available pan out.

Can we talk about Cousins as a prospect and leave all the other....

Yeah, a friend of mine told me the next day that that is who they wanted. He was also under the opinion that if we could not get Griffin we would have drafted Cousins as early as the second round. When I realized that he was available, in the fourth that is the gut I hoped for. It was a great pick. I think we will get a minimum of third round compensatory pick for him when its all said and done.

Come on man....really?????

Robert Griffin and Kevin Kolb are separated by a gulf of physical talent.

i don't think he will be traded, but a 4th at best, if he is

Yeah, because only high first round draft picks end up being really good NFL quarterbacks. Best Cousins can expect is a long career as a backup. It's hopeless if you're not the first or second QB drafted. The experts always get it right.

kind of like how every backup that has been traded has had great success? it would have stung more if you said end up being traded for low round draft picks as opposed to being really good nfl quarterbacks

Some have and some haven't That's the point. Nobody knows for sure.
