You either get the deal you want for him or you keep him.

booya!

What if we were to trade Kirk to Kyle in Cleveland since he loves him so much, throw in a pick here and there and nab watkins for our reciever we need.

Campbell has proven to be a good backup. Cousins has barely proved that yet.

We need to keep 3 QBs on the roster. Especially if we trade Cousins.

CrustyRedskin · 02-09-2014, 10:11 AM

We went decades without a qb. Now we have two that i would feel comfortable with starting. Why not keep them both? It took both of them to win the East two years ago. Jmho.

Cousins is better than ponder no doubt

Cousins is not good, at all. Look at the numbers.

The team was in disarray at the end of the season, in fact I think it's safe to say any qb not named PManning/TBrady would have had terrible numbers.

I think the book is still to be written on Cousins, but I would be fine if it's written somewhere else if we get a 2nd or high 3rd in exchange for publishing rights.

I would take a 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th.

I'd just hold on to him if we're talking those kind of picks.

I know you're not a fan of him, but just like some here seriously overvalue him, I think you're undervaluing him a bit by suggesting giving him away for next to nothing.

The Redskins do not need to keep two quarterbacks in order to be super bowl contenders. They need as many picks as they can get in order to build up the team, and if Cousins can be dealt for a top 100 pick, I would jump on that trade immediately.

Gary84Clark · 02-11-2014, 08:22 AM

I don't under value him, I jsut don't think what he can do on the field is worth the nuisance he causes off the field. Cousins brings media baggage. Shanny did that on purpose, cut bait. Just like Haynesworth we should have just admitted it as a loss and moved on. That 4th round pick for Cousins is a loss. Let's move on.

That statement by definition os undervaluing. What media baggage does Cousins really bring? That whole start Cousins thing was more dumbass fans then it was media. Saying you would take a 7th round pick for him is undervaluing him.

Since everyone here seems to be obsessed with stats, I would look at it like a general manager would. Probably wouldn't judge him too much on mop up duty, pre season, nor the rainstorm against the Giants. I'm looking closely at his 3 starts against Cleveland, Atlanta and Dallas. What do you see there? A lot of accurate balls that come out quick, good mobility, sees the field pretty good. The weakness I see is he throws late and behind guys. That's where he's got in trouble a bit. Pretty common for a young guy. That's correctable. I see a lot more good than bad in those starts.

GM's that base their decisions on cherry-picked stats from games played in favorable conditions tend to do things like giving up a second round pick for Kevin Kolb. Hopefully(for the Redskins sake), there are still GM's out there that operate with this kind of unwarranted optimism.
