Literally busted out laughing when I read your post.

Thank you.

So where do you think Kirk is going?

Kirk Morrison LB? He will probably stay retired if I had a guess.

One of the really good things about Alex is players won't be saying things like this anymore.

We*kind of felt like the commitment wasn’t there from Kirk,”*Hall said Tuesday on “SportsCenter”*in*the first of his multiple appearances as a guest analyst during a visit to ESPN headquarters. “We obviously wanted Kirk. We franchised him because we wanted him there. It was up to ownership and the front office to kind of work those numbers out. They couldn’t get the numbers worked out, so he signed franchise tags those two football seasons. Everybody in that locker room was behind Kirk, wanted him there, but we wanted to feel like he wanted to be there as well. Having played 14 years, I understand, ‘Let’s go get the money,’ but at some point there has to be mutual interest from both parties to want to get better collectively as a team. Paying Kirk probably the $30 million he’s going to get, we couldn’t do that and get better as a football team.”

Team chemistry and trust is important to overall success.

You also left out the part about him always being a professional in the locker room but whatever

You know, when I read this the first time, I read it in my best Bill Belichick voice (the pressure where he tries to interrupt the reports by saying Seattle, Seattle, Seattle!)

"But what about the money Cousins will make in Minnesota?" - ALEX!
"Did Kirk really want to..." ALEX SMITH!
"If Cousins had gotten...."Smith. We're onto Alex Smith."

Lol. I love it. This will be my plan going forward for anyone who asks me about Kirk. I hope Gruden does the same.

I think Kirk Cousins would approve of our sincere intentions to get this Alex Smith thread back on track.

With Smith not turning the ball over, this is a good thing for the Redskins. Although, I have always equated turnovers to you being in one camp or the other. One camp - you turn the ball because your accuracy sucks. The other camp - you turn the ball over because you're a gunslinger and you play aggressive - high risk, high reward aka Bret Favre.

No one is going to confuse Alex Smith for Bret Favre, but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't some similarities to how Mark Brunell played for us. Mark didn't turn the ball over, Mark didn't have a strong arm, but he could move the ball. And at times, Mark could take off and run. Alex Smith is a better athlete than what Mark Brunell was, but I think like Brunell with Clinton Portis and Laddell Betts, Smith will have to rely on a strong running game.
