Quote:haha You are ridiculous brother. First off let me go back to the Kirk Cousins had nothing to do with them making the playoffs comment, inaccurate considering the Redskins only clinched the Playoff birth the last week of the season, I'm not even getting into that the kid had a 108 QB Rating for them when he played last season... without Cousins they don't make it. 


2ndly did you really just compare a full season to 5games statistically because I'm pretty sure that is what you did.. good job on that, it proves nothing to me...


3rdly I am thankful that you will have absolutely nothing to do with the decision to be made at QB next season, btw I still don't think I heard what your plan of action would be? From the way you talk it seems to me your expecting a rookie to come in and throw 7TD passes in the opener like Manning, get realistic.. Even with Teddy Bridgewater there is nobody in the Draft Class that is going to come in and satisfy you as our starting QB.. You are officially one of those guys.


I'm not saying lets go get Kirk Cousins what I'm saying is he passes the eyeball test for me, the kid can throw the ball accurately and he is still very very young.. To write him off as a failure is ignorant.. I am of the thinking he is going to have a nice NFL career. Just one more time let me remind you that Mark Brunell was a back-up we traded for aswell.. There may be a better QB in the draft, but you want to write off every traded back-up as a failure.. Well I'll tell you this much right now the odds of Drafting a failure at the QB position are far more likely than Trading for a failure... I'm pretty sure the last 3 "Starting" QBs we drafted didn't work out so well for us. It's not a clear cut choice either way but I wouldn't hate at all on the front office for trading for Cousins.. I wish I had your crystal ball maybe then I'd understand how dismissive you are. It sure would suck to be sitting here watching Derek Carr flunk out of the NFL for the next 4-5 years in a Jags uniform while Kirk Cousins is leading the Cleveland Browns to the postseason again.

 

1st. You act as if Cousins was the reason the Redskins made the Super Bowl. The fact is, the Redskins were 8-5 without Cousins and 2-2 with him. That does not support your case. Sure, Cousins was the QB that clinched their playoff spot (against the lowly Browns) but it's not like the Redskins were going to line up a mule at QB if "it wasn't for Cousins". The Redskins beat the Browns with RGIII or a slew of other NFL backup QBs

 

2nd. I broke the stats down in averages and ratios. RGIII has better than a 2:1 TD to INT ratio. Cousins? 1:1. I wouldn't expect you to understand statistics, though. You said that Cousins has been more consistent, the stats say otherwise.

 

3rd. My plan of action is to take a QB with our 1st round pick (Bridgewater or Carr) and then a project QB later in the draft (4th round). My plan is not to overpay for average-at-best QBs by trading away high 2nd round draft picks.

 

 

I have not written Cousins off as a failure. Cousins was a 4th round pick and just because a 4th round pick doesn't have a high ceiling doesn't make him a failure. I've stated that Cousins will be a good backup (ie: Matt Cassel), but not worth a high 2nd round pick.
