Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

Did the Cowboys have a valid alternative to Tony Romo this year that could lead them to the playoffs? And somehow they're 13-3. There are always going to be more qbs that come along. We got Cousins in the 4th round. Everyone acts like Cousins is the last good qb that will ever be found in nfl history and we have to keep him forever no matter the cost or how bad he has continuously choked in big games to this point.

This is a good point. However, Dak has the best running game to lean on with the best o-line. If a rookie were to walk into our type of offense he'd struggle.

Good teams have good players and he was part of it and played well. Mark Sanchez/Kellen Moore wasn't going 13-3 with that team. He deserves a lot of credit.

If anyone knows what it's like to suffer through bad QB play it should be us.

Yet some seem willing to walk away from a guy who's put up some pretty big numbers the last 2 seasons and is just entering his prime. Very strange.

It's not walking away scott free its setting a reasonable price and if he doesnt want to meet it or at the very least be close to it, moving on to other options. We talked about this previously. I personally only think he's worth 20 million, I could grit my teethe and bear 22 million, but anymore than that he's being drastically over paid based on his performance.

At what price do you think we shouldn't sign him? Or do you think even if it's 25 million, you'd still say sign him?

My solution's the best in my opinion- Dan Snyder, Bruce Allen and whoever currently has something against Cousins- need to check their ego and just pay the man to a long term deal.

It's what's best for the Redskins. And in the meantime, if you want you can actively pursue a replacement. Companies in other industries do this all the time. It's smart business.

And if you find a replacement, trade him. If you don't, keep him.

At the end of the day, I want our team to win. If that means me being wrong about Cousins and we do end up paying him a kings ransom and it works out, so be it. I don't envy SM on this decision.

There are some issues to this, but it's better than not having a good qb. The main one would be- he'll hamstring the Redskins' salary cap, especially early on.

Because I think everyone can agree that he's currently not elite, but he'll be paid like one. Salary cap percentage and inflation be damned.

22-23 range seems appropriate but I won't be surprised if it's closer to 25. Ultimately though how the deal is structured and what the guaranteed money is the only thing that matters. They can make the deal look as pretty as they want on paper.

So now I can separate 1) the decision with what to do with Cousins versus with what I think 2) how he's handling his contract and how he's played.
