ALEX SMITH and moving forward.

[CRedskinsRule]

Hadn't seen this quote from AS about what he said to his agent, but I love it:

“It’s a [expletive]-ton of money, man,” Smith says now, with a chuckle. “Haggling over $2 million more or something? Nah. I’ve played a long time. Let’s get fair market value and let’s go. Get it done.”

I just want the Alex Smith of last year, not the one that didn't throw a td to a wr for an entire season.

Pretty sure AS and Gruden are gonna get the ball to whoever is healthy enough to catch it.

Why in the hell would a Chiefs fan be bitter towards Smith? Hell no. They got Mahomes. If there is a Chiefs fan anywhere in the world who is bitter about Smith leaving Id like to meet him. So i can smack him. Lol
Look, and this is not particularly directed at u Okie, but at all the people who think we are a better team with Smith at the helm.....
We have a vastly improved defense. We have vastly improved special teams. We have a run game for the first time in a while. Those are the reasons we are 11-3. Not Alex fucking Smith. In no way does not having a deep ball game make you a better team.

It sucks not having a passing game, I'm a fan of the deep ball too but its just not the 2018 redskins. Lets ride this out and see where this team ends up. What if we end up 12-4? 11-5? Who would have imagined that would even be possible?

It is not the 2018 Redskins because we have a D, a run game, and our special teams don’t turn special anymore. They execute. Im just not sure why there is this fallacy out there that none of that would be possible if we didn’t have a quarterback who was conservative out of necessity. He cannot do anything besides a real quick pass. I expected him to use his legs to keep plays alive and let our underwhelming wr’s - who were just as bad last year mind you - get separation. He doesn’t though. He rarely uses his legs at all. It doesn’t even have to be the deep ball, but he cannot hit alot of the intermediate stuff. Doesn’t even really try.
If we do finish with some amazing record and it is done the same way we have won these 6 than I still want a quarterback. He does not change our defense. Three and outs hurt our defense and I think we are seeing that as the season grinds on. They get gassed. He does not change our special teams other than allowing Way to showcase his punting ability. AP or Guice when he comes back should be better if people were afraid of the passing game but they are not.
It just doesn’t have to be a good d, run game, and st’s with no pass game or a pass game with none of the rest. Lol. Forget Cousins, ok, any quarterback that can help our pass game would be lethal with the way the rest of our team is playing. He would help the rest of the team be even better because of all the reasons I mentioned above. Look all I care about is winning really but winning consistently and beating good teams is just not realistic with a one dimensional offense. Look around the league. Saints, Rams, Chiefs, Steelers, Chargers, Bears even with Trubisky, Pats, Texans, Vikes. Those are the best teams and they all have quarterbacks that can throw it. We might have a banner day on defense or with the run and take one of them out but if we played those teams over and over we all know what the results would be and we all know why.

There's just something about about Alex Smith that makes you want to pull for the guy. I think we're in good hands the next few seaaons.

"I would have taken 1 year deals if not getting what we wanted"

[Defensewins]

Cousins took less money to be on a Super Bowl contender rather than a terrible Jets team. Makes sense to me

[JPPT1974]

Yeah it does make sense to Kirk Cousins. As really Jets has a rookie under center. May had if Teddy was under center for Jets, they would had Sam learning.

We're in first place, but it's not because of Alex Smith. The dude is 29th in passing yards per game. He's tied for 25th in td passes. This man is HORRIBLE! We need bench him before it is too late.

look he may suck hair meatballs right now but he's not turning it over and we are getting wins, which is what we will settle for and should be content... not overly happy or excited obviously, but content with 6-3? yes.

[skinsfaninok]

Alex was pretty good against TB. His TD pass was as good as it gets back there. Missed a couple deep balls but overall I'd say a B-
