Redskins trade for Alex Smith

CRedskinsRule · 01-30-2018, 10:14 PM

I like it. You bring in a guy Gruden can use in his offense, end the drama around KC , and bring in an understudy in the 3rd/4th round that can be groomed. Don't understand why anybody would be upset. Tentative maybe but hating the move? I don't get that

If there is an escape clause in his contract and we draft a QB then I’m fine with the trade.

AS can do 90% of what KC does.

We better develop a fucking running game quick...no Kareem hunt here for a smith to lean on...

Been awhile since I've been on here fellas, but had to come back for this one. I think it is premature to hate on this trade. What are our other options? A journyman free agent who won't be good enough, or taking a risk on a draft pick that may or may not pan out.

Now we at least have stability for several years with a QB who is no worse than Cousins, possibly better if they assemble the right WR corp and draft a good running back this year. I think it is a good likelihood that we won't break the bank on Smith's extension like we would have with Cousin's. Smith gets a fresh start and a chance to prove the critics wrong once again.

Check out the graph in the article. The Chiefs went out and got Alex a dynamic RB and their offense flourished. I suggest we do the same.

I’m pretty stoked to replace KC with a player the caliber of Smith. I’m surprised it happened so quickly but props to the Skins for being aggressive.

This, I agree. And I'll really agree or agree somewhat less when the exact contact details of the extension come out. Its a bold move Cotton.

This is gross. 4 years? I'm disgusted with the team TBH. I really don't want this guy. Not because he can't play but because this is Brad Johnson 2.0 this isn't the answer.

The saga is over! I'm happy. Its not even close to July yet. Team must've got tired of waiting and said eff it, he gone! Now we need to trade down in the 1st recoup the draft pick and move on. I'll take it.

Good idea

They blew up a top passing attack. Period.
