Kirk Cousins 365 thread

^ I can't think of any reason why the lack of a long-term contract would inhibit Kirk's freedom to lead. This quote doesn't make any sense to me. "Permission" ??? "Leash"??? What the heck is he talking about?

I think he is talking about quite literally playing with a "leash" attached meaning - "I'm playing for my next contract / job - i have to make every throw perfect. I have to score X amount of touchdowns, I have to have X amount of passing yards every game". Once they invest in him, he will get to experience the full spectrum and have his bad game here or there (like any NFL QB), and not have to worry about being benched or not getting re-signed or anything like that.

I think knowing he is only year to year probably weighs on him, even though he is making damn great money on his one year contracts.

Look at other teams in the league that have franchise QB's, even when they play bad, they have no real sense of worry unless its something horrible like Ryan Fitzpatrick and 6 INTs a game for every game or some shit. Eli Manning has had tons of 4 INT games but i bet he has never in the back of his mind thought 'Damn i might get cut if I do it again'. I think that's where Kirk is at with that quote.

SS came by and dropped this nugget today when I asked him the chances of cousins getting a long term deal:

"I give it about a 45% chance at the moment. Scot and Jay are on the same page. Think others may need a little more convincing"

Exactly!!!! No pressure on him or extra weight on his shoulders. He can just let it rip. Hopefully this won't lead him to regress a bit. He doesn't want to always have to look into the rear view mirror and can just concentrate on winning.

Smithers doesn't tell Mr. Burns how to run the business. It sounds like our worst fear could become reality if Monty himself has gone back to twisting the dials in the reactor control room.

It's probably Little Danny. My guess is Kirk's jersey doesn't sell like a 1st round draft pick or high priced free agent. He probably feels he can't get a return on his investment. Or, he doesn't like Kirk because he won't hang out with him at the night clubs...

This is what i've said on the Cousins thing since the very beginning:

It's Snyder. It's been Snyder from day one. You guys can all believe that the team has turned the page and our FO works differently now, but it's the same old shit. It's a shame that a proud franchise like this is being held hostage by our completely inept owner. I have said it from the beginning, Snyder at the end of the day only cares about ticket sales and getting money. He has never been serious about getting a Lombardi, and how could he be as long as his games sellout and he is close to the top in Merchandise sales?

Why the F did he hire a general manger only for Snyder to be the one deciding everything behind the scenes? When Snyder lets Cousins go, the sky really will fall here at redskins park and everything will crumble. The disastrous seasons to come will remind you who has been the puppet master the entire time. Dan Snyder is playing fantasy football with human lives.

We will be the only team in NFL history to let their starting QB go after having 2 consecutive seasons with over 4,000 passing yards. That's a fact, not an alternative fact, a real one.

Snyder has hated Cousins from day one because Cousins is a constant reminder of how Dan Snyder's personal pet project RG3 flamed out in the NFL. He is also a reminder of the superbowl winning coach that told Snyder flat out that you can't win with RG3 in the NFL, and who Snyder fired.

The redskins will draft another top QB so that Snyder can have his jersey sales again, but make no mistake, it will be someone that Snyder hand picks - Coaches and GM's be damned.

Why do we keep supporting this same old shit? As long as Snyder is here, we're not going to accomplish a damn thing. Time for folks to wake up
