Kirk Cousins 365 thread

I liked Cousins too, and understand that as a player he's going to want to get the most money out of a deal. That's the NFL business and I expected for him to be tagged and for negotiations to go all the way to the July deadline.

But I don't understand the strong desire to leave the team to a worst situation, or why people think the team has done something wrong to him. Over the past two years the team has done nothing but put resources towards the offense, including:

- Drafting Brandon Scherff
- Drafting Matt Jones (yeah this didn't work out, but still)
- Hiring Callahan to improve the offensive line
- Extending Jordan Reed
- Drafting Josh Doctson
- Giving Gruden a 2-year extension

Honestly, I can understand. He likes Kyle Shanahan and he's familiar with the system. He's going to have a familiar face at wide receiver. He probably feels he can come in and win, at least, 8 games. At the same time, he's trading one terrible ownership for another. The only difference is that York has tasted a Super Bowl appearance in recent years.

Please explain to me what horrible things have the team done to Cousins, other than not make him the highest paid QB in the league, which IMO he doesn't deserve.

I agree, I'm a huge Kirk guy but fuck him. He's crying his way out of wash like a little bitch.

If someone is willing to pay you 24 million dollars then there should be no disrespect. KC should run over to Redskin Park, sign that tender ASAP and thank the Redskins. That's a lot of god damn money for someone that's not an elite QB.

Especially after collecting 20M the year before.

It's been said a thousand times. The NFL is a business. Paying someone 44M over 2 years, and having them say eff you. Gotta think the person saying eff you bears some of the responsibility.

If I understand the antiDS sentiment, it's something like, your guy RG3 didn't work out, get over it.

But wouldn't that same statement work against KC too. DS didn't say he loves you after the cleveland game get over it.

KC is not going somewhere else and throwing for 5000 yds, I don't believe it. He had talent(DJax/PG), then a second layer of talent(Reed/Crowder), and then even a 3rd row deep in Maurice Harris/Vernon Davis. His line did good at protecting him. His coaches loved throwing so he could put numbers up.

I want him here, but in this case I'm not get mImdub's truck revved back up. I think the team made fair NFL business choices. Did they all say Oh KC we love you. No, but most contracts in the NFL aren't signed on a Valentines Wedding.

Back to back winning seasons. I'm not done yet lol... But it's getting close man.

Only Dan Snyder goes from 2012 to this. Ok so Griff got hurt and did not pan out. It is ok though the football Gods threw us a bone with KC. So tragedy averted. We wind up with a world beater offense and seemingly just a few defensive pieces away from fielding a legit team. Sign the man. Draft defense and sign a couple key pieces thru free agency. Simple. Everywhere except here and Cleveland. What a shit show. And I agree 10000 % with Chico. Danny boy is the constant through this entire exercise in futility. He is not going anywhere either. I absolutely cannot stand myself for picking a Skins jacket off the coat rack at Bambergers department store when i was 5 years old. It was probably sandwiched right between a Patriots jacket and a Steelers jacket too. Smfh.

Don't you know that Patriots jackets only have been sold in the past few years.

I'm still waiting to hear what horrible things have the Redskins done to Kirk Cousins.

Also, Houston gave Osweiller a ton of money last semester, and they are now in the Tony Romo sweepstakes. Other NFL team have problems you know.

I did not say that Kirk was 100% without blame. But he has clearly not been here for 20 years.
My point is simply that after we lost to Green Bay in the playoffs we seemed to simply be a few defensive pieces away from fielding a legit contender. Somehow we are going backwards though. After 20 years or longer of no quarterback sign the fucking guy long term. Than fix the defense. And i don't really give a crap about other teams. But if u want to go there than there aren't many who have been as bad and as dysfunctional as we have for the better part of two decades. But if it makes u feel better that the browns and lions are terrible have at it. Lol

How do you expect to fix the defense, if Cousins wants to be the highest paid QB in the league and tie up a lot of money. We can't all be the Patriots, who get an elite QB at a super discounted price.

I'm not saying lowball the guy, but I'm not giving him Russell Wilson/Andrew Luck money.

Cousins + a few upgrades on D > shitbag at quarterback + several upgrades on defense.

Draft 2-3 studs and coach up a few guys. We do have some guys that are already on the roster that need to step in and play better, Spaight and Fuller to name a few.

I'd add one or two free agents on the line. That's it.
