Redskins trade for Alex Smith

Cousins is going to have several teams after him which will only drive up his price. No way he settles for anything less than being the highest paid player in the NFL.

I also have a question for those who are 100% positive we got worst at QB: looking at stats, points, wins, and tape, what 12 QBs are without any doubt way better than Alex Smith ?

We will see man, time will tell. If he wins us games and playoff games we will be happy

As a chiefs fan for 50 years having seen every snap of alex's in chief's uniform
you will go wanting. Gronk is injured alot now kelce is the best tight end, kareem hunt was top 3 rb in production, tyrek hill can not be covered down field. Smith will break your heart. The long ball stats are an illusion. He completes wobbly duck 30 yard passes that others would have scored tds on. WR waits for smith duck db catches up to hill makes stop. FG instead of TD.Outsiders like you see stats regarding 30 yd completion and think he's good.
May GOD have mercy on you guys but smith as your qb will drain your soul.

Our souls have been on E with a flashing light for miles.

People are using how we fucked this up years ago as part of their judgment on this trade. That was already done and over with.

In a vacuum, I think the team did the best they could, and they must've known that either Kirk was absolutely leaving or absolutely not accepting any thing less than an insane contract.

We resign Zach Brown, draft Denzel Ward and Sony Michel (or similar players) in the 1st 2 rounds, and bring in a good FA LG and lets get after it.

Who has more misery you wanna go down THAT road? I am 58 and what I know of the redskins is when they are good they win SBs. You guys may have wanted more but you have won multiple SBs. I am a syracuse guy so I loved art monk and pulled for you guys when my chiefs were turrible.

I learned something this year watching playoffs .the system and overall team talent gets you as far as the top dog elite Qb in most cases. Cousins had his chance 2 seasons ago when he had a top offensive team around him and could not win against giants. That game seems to define who he is and at the time I remember everybody calling him out! So here we are he is gone and I for one am relieved . I like Smith and I believe he can have success here but we need other help. NEEDS Run game, WR ....enough of the excuses for Doctson time to step up! I would have rather kept fuller and moved doctson . This team is not better losing Cousins but it could be worse , I agree with all of you who blast the front office I have been saying that a long time but that ain’t changing . Let’s hope we draft smart get some FA in here and maybe next year we can win 9 plus games and have a shot at playoffs!

On the bolded, EXACTLY right. Chico, you're most guilty of this.

This trade will be brilliant for the redskins if you draft a qb and realize that is the solution not smith. Smith will actually help him unlike all other QBs.

I would listen to DJ Swearinger. Fuller- Best defensive player last year. Preparation. Locker room guy. Look, of course I hope Alex Smith can replicate what Cousins did- this is me even discounting the fact we don’t have a Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce or Tyreek Hill. I just take issue with this narrative that Fuller is “just a good cb” or “just a slot guy” or “our third/backup.” Our defensive captain just called him the best player we had last season on his side of the ball... and those aren’t just emotions talking- the numbers back it up.

Trading a guy like that on a rookie contract for bridge qb who lacks the weapons he had before is hard to swallow. Throw in a third and it just reminds me of a previous trade to give up the best cb in football and a second for a running back (moving Champ was mandatory considering his personal drama in DC, but still- these sweeteners only seem to come from this organization.. different FO, but still).

If Alex Smith is more than a two year bridge QB and he puts up the same stats/record as KC, I’ll actually be sort of alright with this. But i don’t even think the former is true. And I don’t trade our highest rated defensive player for a bridge.
