Kirk Cousins Named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week Three

A deal for Cousins isn’t going to kill our cap.

Agree. We won't be able to keep everyone, especially if all of our guys are blossoming like we hope. Can't pay Fuller + Nicholson + Breeland + Preston Smith + Brown + Scherff + ...

But you have to keep drafting well.

If you lose Breeland, you rely on being smart enough to draft Moreau when you did. Have to keep that up. But it's not going to ruin us cap wise. We're already carrying a big number for Cousins.

14.5% of the cap is realistic for me, that's the average other teams pay their good qb's. Whatever that number is, I'm ok with it.

If Preston Smith and Brown should be priorities if they can keep this up. Preston Smith has been the major surprise imo. He is really showing up.

Good for KC, although Thompson could have easily got it as well...

As for paying KC, it will figure itself out. If he wants to stick it to the team ( which I doubt) then he'll probably force his way out. If not, and the Redskins come with a fair deal then he'll stay. It's that simple. I personally think he'll be here for a long time. It will eventually get done.

IF Cousins gets us into playoffs and plays like a top QB even if we lose and he did all he could do He will be a REDSKIN..However if he continues his throwing the late pick in a close situation and cost us then he may just have to go somewhere else. He needs that moment ( not to take anything away from the raiders win but that was a total team win and yes Cousins played great the team was so on fire they were not going to be denied..I want to see Cousins in a situation where the team is struggling in a big game and He takes over and leads them to the big win ) thats when the long term deal gets done.

Players would never get paid if the fan’s criteria for a contract was used lol

Kirk, we’re going to need you to stop throwing picks. Now we need you to beat a team with a winning record. Can you take the team to the playoffs? How about back to back winning seasons? Can you win games in prime time and completely out play guys way above your pay grade?

Ok, good job with all of that. Now we need you to put the team on your back and win games all by yourself. If you can do that maybe we’ll talk about a contract. Don’t worry by then we’ll think of a few more hoops for you to jump through.

I say you pay the man if he gets rid of that old van he drives. :)

You could easily have signed that rant with this:

My man Westbrook just resigned for 5 additional years with my favorite NBA team. So pumped. I'm in the signing mood, wish we could still negotiate with Cousins. Give him his 25 million and end this tea party.
