Just got this text lol

lolololol.... I'd give him a big fat contract.... for the WIZ! #DCRISING :)

Here's something just to break up the whining:

We are a 6 win team at best. We will have games this year where we say "ok we turned a corner" (STL game). We will have games were we say "great effort just simply got beat by a better team" ( MIA game) Then we will have flat out bad games were we say "damn two steps back" (NYG game).

Over these three past weeks we have probably seen our 2015 Redskins, welcome to the season race fans!

I agree with this post. While I think most of the criticisms in this thread were warranted, too much is expected of this year's team by some of us. We have a long way to go before we become contenders.

My anchor is my belief in SM. As long as we have SM, I think we have a chance to get where we want to be in three years. Yes, I think it's going to take three years of hard work. That includes three FA classes, three drafts, three years of trades, UDFA's, stashing players on the practice squad, developing players, cutting the players who don't belong, etc, etc.

Meanwhile, we'll probably lose more games than we win this season. So, I'm trying to stay positive, enjoy the wins, and forget the losses.

This team is just still not very good. A strong ground game on Offense and Defense can keep you in and win games even with bad special teams play, but having a QB that can't make plays for you when the game is on the line, and has bad judgement is just too big a hurdle to overcome.

KC may get better, I know people have posted his numbers compared to the start of some elite QB's numbers at the same point in their career, but I think you could find many more examples of young QBs with similar stats that did not improve. For example this is how he compares with Patrick Ramsey:

G GS Cmp Att Cmp% Yds TD Int Rate Y/A AY/A AY/A
Cousins 16 11 284 465 61.1 3429 20 21 79.2 7.4 6.2 6.2
Ramsey 16 12 246 463 53.1 3169 17 14 78.2 6.8 6.2 6.2

Shanahan compares Cousins to Elway, is being serious | CSN Mid-Atlantic (http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/redskinsblog/shanahan-compares-cousins-elway-being-serious?p=ya5nbcs&ocid=yahoo)

I guess it surprises me how many of you were expecting great things, given our recent history of prime time games against the gints. I was waiting for a kick in the balls and it still hurt. Oy.

KC will get to the bye, I suppose, but he isn't showing it. INTs are just not acceptable and his numbers speak for themselves. The game plan was fine--they were stacking the box and knew we wanted to run. That should have opened up the pass--that's sort of the point of having the run game, no? Plus, we got in a hole and that limits the play calling.

On the other side, Eli is obviously in a different class, but we also helped with NO PRESSURE. Easy to throw if you can just sit back like practice.

Specials: unacceptable
penalties: unacceptable

Bottom line: we're more than a few players away, so this is what you gotta expect. QB is high on the list, though we should continue to build inside out, IMO.

Get Ross on the field. Beat Philly.

Gotta go ice my frickin balls.

I accidentally posted before making my point.

It is too early to say which way he will go, but to me just watching the games, he looks more like a young Ramsey than a young Manning. I will be rooting for him, but realistically this team needs to be a lot better before we can win consistently with him at QB.

One other thing, everyone says all you need is a 'game manager' I only buy that if you have a great all around Defense, otherwise you also need someone who can make plays for you.

All in all, Kirk is alright I guess, and we need to focus on building depth on the lines and in the secondary, but if SM spots a steal on a QB with even a little more playmaking ability, I think it would make a big difference to this team to grab him.

If this ends up being another Ramsey debacle...

So why not trade off a few players for draft picks if u feel that why. This team no a Super Bowl contender, but you fooling yourself if you think without better qb play they can't win 9 or 10 games!! Guys were so open last night it would have open up the run for the rest of the year. Every time would have to respect the passing game. This team is only off b/c of HC and qb. That defense keep it close for a while and Kirk play terrible!!!

We know we're going to lose games, in the big picture its not as bothersome losing, but the day of the game it just sucks, especially a winnable game. Like today, I'm already over it, on to Philly.
