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.

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.

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.

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

in the big scheme of things yes, but not entirely. Its hard to avoid the history of Cousins as a Redskins and separately, Dan & Bruce as the primary QB decision makers.

Proper arguments can be made as this transaction is poor in itself as well.

I do use how they screwed up the KC situation as part of my judgement.

How do you compartmentalize it without taking it into consideration how they screwed up years ago?

So they did their job for once and tried to clean up their mess and we are supposed to be happy with it?

It reminds of the saying "we are trying to make chicken parm out of chicken shit"

As a Skins fan compartmentalizing and having a strong liver are the top 2 requirements lol. I compartmentalize every year into a folder and get my kool-aid jug out for following season. 2018 SB champs!

Don't throw good money after bad.

Our other options were to have Cousins tagged again and being paid 34 million or him walking as free agent and hoping a rookie could play well or start Colt.

Alex is just as good as Cousins to me, and 33 isn't old for a qb, he should be solid thru age 35, by that time we have a young guy waiting in the wings.

I'm just glad the team can start planning their off season and draft now.

A fan that doesn't like their QB, say it ain't so.

Plenty of Skins fans were less than enamored with Kirk too.

Just par for the course friend.

I know I don't know cousins. As an outsider looking in I saw cousins as a guy who persevered the underdog who made it. But the contract demands that were floated around seemed unbelievable. I suppose it's a grass always greener kind of thing. Whatever your qb doesn't do well you want the opposite.
