Who is Kirk Cousins?

If Cousins turns out to have a very good career, we'll all look back on Shanahan much differently.

Ill look back the same way plus he got lucky once.
Which begs the question, who was Mike Shanahan?

Well not really. All he had to do was draft KC since he had him rated behind ( I believe) Luck and Griffin. Instead he and the rest of the organization threw away 4 high draft picks. That might go down as one of the worst trades ever. Can't let him ( Allen and Snyder) off the hook for such a poor trade.

Oh. We are still using the word consistency on this page? Thought that was 17 pages ago?

So glad Kirk doesn't have to prove anything to the fans about his "consistency "

I got a good feeling about Cousins being the future long term QB..he might never be a superstar but with the right players around him he could be very very good for a long time. I just hope if he has a bad game folks don't start in again about him not being the answer..all QB's have those games.

There are many QBs that can suceed with the right players (and playcalling) aroud him

For many, like myself, Kirk still has questions to answer before we can feel optimistic about his ability to lead the team going forward.

One of those question is consistency. The quality of Kirk's play going forward matters. So a bad game or two or three would rightfully call into question whether Kirk has the consistency to merit being the long term QB.

Right now we don't know if Kirk is Matt Flynn or Matt Hasselbeck or Ryan Fitzpatrick or McKownn

Only game reps and times will anwer Kirk's remaining questions.

I agree with you completely.

The last coach to get us in the playoffs..and back to back superbowls with Denver.Redskins could have done a lot worse than Shanny..in fact he said he thought Cousins was going to be a very good QB.

He also said John Beck was going to be a very good QB, and in between his playoff runs had some pretty miserable seasons. He was a mastermind at finding rb's and building run games for sure. Ive always given him credit for winning with Elway who was way past his prime. His zbs run scheme was genius when he had the rite pieces. He was terrible at assembling or coaching the rest of his teams and a stubborn bitch who rubbed alot of staff n players the wrong way though. Anyway i was kidding and cannot believe im back on the shanahan talk. Lol. Plus Goat n G-tripp arent around to back me up anymore!

He was 24-40 with the Redskins. Couldnt have done that much worse.

^ "Oh, ye of little faith..."

If those who put so much stock in the various QB ratings would just study them closely for all of the QB's, they would see that only the elite QB's don't have the kinds of ups and downs that Kirk has. Yet Kirk is trending up, if you want to use such a small statistical sample.

I believe in the "eyeball test" and what his HC keeps telling us, i.e., he is improving at a steady rate. Yes, he has had and he will have some poor games. So what? Except for the few elite QB's, they all do.

Here's a question for you: Are we better off or worse off at the QB position now than you thought we would be in the preseason?

KC passed the eyeball test for me in 2012.
