Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?

So I find it interesting the running game has improved as Cousins has gotten better.

Could it be that the fact Cousins is playing well enough to open up the running game?!?!

What more do we want from a QB. He has been pretty damn good this season with little to no running game, I believe his play is driving the running production we have been getting lately. How is that not a carry? He is the best young QB we have had since Trent Green.

/sarcasm on

The fact Cousins is having one of the best QB seasons in the history for the redskins, throwing 2TDs for every INT, running for a TD every 3 games, playing great at home, playing great in the redzone, playing great in the 4th quarter and (most importantly) earned the respect, trust and confidence of the locker room hasn't really sold me on Kirk..........................

/sarcasm off

Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?

Big Question on my mind is do the redskins give Kirk a new contract? Does it pay him starter money? I haven't followed the "news" or other rumors, and unless told by a credible source believe it possible that Cousins could enter Free Agency...

One thing I really respect Jay Gruden for now, and it is known that I was not a Jay Gruden fan from day one - He has assured Cousins that he is the starter going forward, and to not look over his shoulder after a bonehead INT or a bad game...I think that is only going to help Cousins.

He is by far the best QB on this team, there should be no discussion. He has united the locker room, and gained the trust and respect of ownership and his coaches. I hope IF Cousins gets a contract, it is a fair contract that ensures he is our starter and we can build around him. I think he has obviously won everyone over, as the "You like that chants" were deafening on Sunday.....

Been a huge fan of Grudens treatment of KC all year. Thru all the "he has it in for griff", "the playcalling sucks" bullcrap - it was obvious that Gruden saw a future with KC. He knows how important the QB position is, and he knows the struggles The franchise has endured since number 7. He knew that if he kept true to his plan that he and SM and KC could make it work. Now we are starting to see it on the field. No doubt in my mind we go to Philly on an effin mission and leave with a division crown. The future is very bright for this team and if anyone has a problem with any of the pieces you need to relax. This team has the HC, QB, and GM to make some serious effin noise over the next few years. HTTR!

Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?

YEA That D JAX showboating thing is not cool..he needs to keep the ball tucked away until he crosses the line ..then do whatever.I thought he may have gotten humbled after the dallas fiasco..the run issues in my opinion are because of the loss of Niles Paul he is a great blocker..IF the skins can keep this bunch intact and get back the injured players with a few Draft picks and FA pickups this could be a very good team!

As far as KEEPING KIRK..uh Yea I believe they will sign him to a long contract.not only is he the best QB on the Redskins ..he is looking like a top 10 QB in the entire league..but I know there are still doubters and he is a couple of picks away from being a bum again..whatever…IT really does seem that most of the Kirk doubters are younger fans who never had a chance to witness the GLORY YEARS.. the redskins won super bowls with QB's not much better than Cousins..and given time He could be one of the best QB's to wear the B&G !!!

I think the non-exclusive franchise tag is the best option on KC.... not 100% sure how it works, although I think the Redskins have the option to match any offer, or get 2 first round picks

Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?

Hopefully Kirk Cousins is the man that brings a division title for this crazy 2015. Like I've said before, even with all the injuries sustained, there is probably less than 5 teams in the league that I think this team would need "luck" or "the ball bouncing their way" to win. Get to the dance - we owe the Seahawks one anyway...right?

Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?

Cousins won't hit free agency. Of course he's going to get starter money.

No chance he leaves. They'll tag him if needed

Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?

I expect 4 year deal worth about 65 million...maybe a 5 year option. It wont be a stupid contract...Bruce has a good track record. Im completely comfortable with it.

Re: Who is Kirk Cousins?

How did Cousins slip to the forth round? He was projected to be a second round pick.

Too many turnovers, not a huge arm, doesn't wow you with the measurables, plenty of reasons why guys like him slip.
