p.s. Based on FO's history with Kirk's contract, whatever the FO decides to do iwill probably be far stupider than anything we could think of as a poll question.

If any team would actually be stupid enough to let their franchise qb walk with no compensation, I would bet that it would be us. Spare Baltimore (which had to pay Flacco because he won a SB) there are very few teams out there that got wrecked by signing their franchise qb. Somehow we managed to turn this into a debate about whether we could improve the team while also paying a qb market rate. If our FO can't improve the team without signing a good qb they don't deserve to run the team.

Only a moron would say calling someone a moron isn't a personal attack.

First, calling someone a moron is not a personal attack. A personal attack is going in on somebody in a very personal and sensitive way. Like if I knew that one of the posters here had an autistic child, and went in on them accusing them of subscribing to Jenny McCarthy's brand of anti-vaxx nonsense, that'd be over the line. That would be an attack of a very personal and sensitive nature.



Calling someone a moron does not qualify, and if you think it does, then may I submit that you're the one wearing the panties.



Next, Matty does not show me special preferences or treatment. Look at my profile, he's disciplined me in the past. And he was right to do so in that circumstance.



As for the subject matter, the spread of fake news - if you haven't noticed - is a real problem in our society. If you see fake news in the world of sports, it's not nearly the same kind of problem. Nevertheless, while the forum guidelines ask that we refrain from personal attacks, this site also brands itself as The Warpath: Redskins Discussion for the Knowledgeable Fan.



So if calling someone a moron is the price we pay for upholding the Knowledgeable portion of that - meaning sniffing out fake news when we see it and confronting it - then I think most members would find that sensible.



The internet is full of places that proliferate fake news. We do not need to be one of them. That is in fact the very reason this site is so much better than other Redskins discussion sites. It's not about click bait here, it's about the membership. We're smarter than all the other boards, collectively. And if I can do something to uphold that on the boards, I will, even if it means chiding someone harshly.

In all fairness it was “fucking” moron

I don't know all that much about Rudolph, and I still hope it ends with keeping Kirk. I don't like that Allen and Snyder will have a say in whether we keep Cousins, but if we get rid of him, I do like that Jay and Doug are in position to pick the next one out of college.

You honestly do not think snyder and allen have a say in KC staying or going? Are u trying to play dumb to make us all feel better? Lol

Dude, do you kick your fucking dog when you come home? The post about Cousins was off, but it ain't that big a deal. Just call it fake news and be done with it. Your blood pressure must be through the damn roof. And to top it off you think that calling someone a fucking moron isn't a personal attack?? LOL. What delusional world does your ass live in? Go up and say that shit to someone's face and see the response you get, and judge whether it's a personal attack or not. You're nothing but a keyboard bully.

Seen Schneed10 getting some hate on here. I'm not trying to take any sides but S10 is a good poster, his stuff is well thought out and in general he doesn't post any knee-jerk stuff. I have felt his wrath before but the truth is, i'm better for it because whenever he would call me out I posted crazy stuff and was just doing the knee jerk reaction crap. I'd like to think i am more thought out now with my posts, so I thank him for that.

The cousins situation is a serious one. I think for the first time in a great while we have a legit Franchise QB that we have developed, and it is a little scary that we might be letting him go, maybe for nothing. That alone is horrifying but like others have said, only the redskins can be trusted to screw something up of this magnitude. I will hold my breath and hope with cautious optimism that we end up getting to sign Kirk and finally ending all this madness.

Dan and Bruce like Kirk. But they want a guy that's sexy. They want a guy that can bring the fans back. That ain't Cousins.

I agree but the name calling gets old.

And that's why they are (dare I say it on this thread?) morons, because winning is sexy and he can help us win. Is he a HOF QB? Maybe not, but is he better than anyone we've had in a couple of decades? Absolutely. Relying on the draft here is completely rolling the dice that you'll do better, and that hasn't exactly worked for us, even with 1st round picks (see, e.g., Shuler, Ramsey, Campbell, RGIII). Offer him a fair contract that says we want him to stay, and negotiate responsibly. If it works out, great. If not, you did what you had to do having made the decisions you've made for the last two offseasons which you now cannot change.
