Redskins don't plan on third straight franchise tag for Kirk Cousins

For those who want to see a very thorough breakdown of KC, from a Vikings fan perspective, this is really good.

I really was curious what Jets/Broncos/Vikings fans are saying.

Seeing all those fucking sacks and fumbles he took makes me cringe. His pocket awareness and ball security was terrible.

I agree and I probably would if I were Minnesota. But is it enough?



Is Kirk that guy? If he goes to Minnesota we'll all get to find out. If he goes to the Jets, we won't. lol


Who knows but we do know that Keenum wasn’t enough this year.

I want him to go to Minnesota and fail miserably.

If he goes to the Vikings it will be a classic letdown free agency signing. Free agency doesn't work for the most part because you have some many variables...new city, new teammates, new coordinator, new scheme, massive contract and lofty expectations. Kirk just doesn't have the command and dominant personality like Manning or Brees does where he can walk on another team and start fast.

I also don't believe that the Vikings w/ Zimmer as the HC, and being a defense first team, is going to offer Cousins 30 million a year.

He was damn close. If Cousins started for the Vikings against the Eagles the outcome would have been the same.

The main question is do you roll with the journeyman or take a chance on the top QB available with a loaded roster that's ready to win now? Pretty obvious answer in my book.

True and great point.

But what I fear deep down is nothing is good enough to beat Philly.

I really cannot even begin to give credit to philly. I just can't. I do not think they're that good. I think they were very lucky down the stretch and, sadly, very well coached. That's it. And with a season of film on them now I expect a drop off and I hope I'm right.

It's the front four that's so difficult. When Cox is healthy he's a game wrecker. If you can control the front 4 then the secondary can be exposed. That's just way easier said than done though.

But I share your hope. For me, the losses of Frank Reich and John DeFilippo have to mean something. I wonder if they can collectively coach as well without those two guys around.

Philly just won it all with their backup QB and people don’t want to give them their due? Come on know it’s a division rival but let’s not be ridiculous, they were extremely legit last year

To say that after 16 regular season games which they dominated and the playoffs which they concluded by dominating their AFC Super Bowl opponent from start to finish behind their backup QB that the Eagles were not legit is to ignore the facts and replace them with your emotions.

I believe that every Super Bowl winner is the best team that season. That's why they are called The Champions. Bill Parcells famously said, "You are what your record says you are" and I believe that wholeheartedly.

As for the future, I believe they have an elite starting QB, an outstanding GM, and a potentially great HC, so how bad could they possibly be? No, they'll be contenders in 2018. They will simply re-load and go back to work.
