Who is Kirk Cousins?

I would say that I would take Cousins over Bradford, maybe Taylor and Romo, but the with Romo it is because I am unsure of the caliber he will be when he comes back. Taylor I will confess ignorance with, he certainly is better in the right statistics.

I'd say somewhere between just a guy and the Matt Ryan range. Superstar? That might be pushing it a bit.

We just need to let it play out. Either let the legend grow, or back to the draft/ drawing board. Not sure about the rest of you, but I'm really rooting for this to work out. I seriously don't have the patience to start over with a rookie. Or bring in a journeymen while a rookie sits and watches... a la Cleveland.

The short answer that sums up the entire situation is we can't plan on hitting the gas station scratcher and getting a HOF QB to win.

It really doesn't matter then who Kirk is.

Like the Pats and Seattle, whether you have a star or not, smart teams are always trying to find talented QBs.

The idea that once you have "the guy" the QB search stops is a myth.

From a draft, FA standpoint, we should always be looking for an upgrade at every position. In that context, it doesn't matter what Kirk is, we still need to be looking for an upgrade. It's just the nature of the league.

I do think Kirk is going to be a serviceable NFL QB.

At the beginning of the year everyone thought we were set at RB, including myself. We need to always be looking to upgrade.

If Turdk Cousins was a scratch off ticket, what would he be? I'd say a $2 dollar win

It's also my retirement plan. Not working well so far. Would like to see the team try a different strategy because I will be working forever.

I assume you typed his first name on purpose.

Whatever you think of his performance, Kirk Cousins has been a model citizen for the Redskins, and doesn't deserve your sophomoric attempt at humor. It's offensive and doesn't become you.

Are you attempting to polish him?

I agree here and have always said that regardless of how KC plays, we need to draft a QB in 2016. I just think if KC solidifies himself as the starter moving forward, then that draft pick needs to be in the later rounds. Those first four or five picks need to be players that can contribute immediately.

What round do you start looking for a QB?

I don't intend any offense, but I disagree with the premise of the question.

With superior talent evaluators, which most here agree we have now, we should always take the best player available.

So the answer would be whatever round a QB is the best player available.

Personally I think we can win with him but the team around him has to be better. I'd go the route of building up the team and maybe look at the 5th or 6th round.

agree on Taylor and Bradford and he's definitely not the.....asshole......bitchchild cutler is.
Does that count?

I am not sure what there currently is to "get" about Cousins. Are some people way too harsh on him? Of course, but at the same time some of his supporters seem overly convinced he is destined for greatness based on what, I have no idea.

So far he has been middle of the road or perhaps a little less when grading against his peers. I don't think people pointing this out don't "get it" I don't think seeing him go in either direction from here would be a huge surprise either.

Nobody posted in this thread that Kirk is destined for greatness. You used that exaggeration in an attempt to strengthen your own argument. Kirk's supporters here, myself included, have been saying that we think he can become a good NFL starter but not an elite QB. That's no knock on Kirk because there are only a few elite QB's. The idea is that we'll be able to win with a good but not great QB once Scot McCloughan builds a solid team around him.

I guess what I mean by folks don't get it is simply this..If you put any Current QB in the NFL on this team we might be only 1 or 2 wins better ..The QB is only a piece of the puzzle..Cousins did not lose the game sunday. The Redskins do not have playoff personnel from top to bottom they have holes to fill. Fact is At this moment The QB position of the Skins looks a lot better than the Rb position..which has been more productive??? what position right now is playing the best?? don't tell me WR,no to RB,TE ?,OL..maybe pass block but no to run blocking..the Def is not good..YET EVERYBODY is watching Cousins !! If I were Cousins I would actually want out of this dumpster fire called the Redskins..Players laughing on sideline during a blowout..Barry telling players after loss ..forget about it!..what the heck! Cousins may be the only thing that makes me even watch this sorry team ..because that is what they are …anybody beg to differ??
