Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

I don't know of anybody who was always behind Kirk Cousins. I think the general consensus among 'skins fans was that RGIII could've been our franchise guy had he not gotten hurt. I would bet that the majority wasn't really behind Cousins until the second half of last season, and probably not even until halfway through this season.

I think RG3 has shown that being injury prone was only one factor in why he was never going to become the franchise guy.

Oh exactly. Of course 2012 nobody cared about KC. 2013 I held out hope. I told him since 2014. I assumed he basically meant for the last couple of years. In other words there was a time when a lot of people thought we simply did not have the long term answer on our team. Even after Griff was gone.
I disagree about Griffs injury killing his career tthough. There is also that little "cannot play the position " thingy. Lol

49ers: Is QB Kirk Cousins a Realistic Option in Free Agency?

Guess there will be more of these types of articles as the season ends, but for me, San Fran is one place i never considered Cousins landing in the off-season

No chance. He'd have to really blow the last 4 games for us to let him walk

[MTK]

Um no, not realistic at all

A summary of Mike on the herd today. He said "kirk is a drew brees like QB and can win a SB"

I personally like Shanahan's system better, where there is a emphasis on the run and the QB is under center more. I sort of feel like if you're a good running team that's like a good defense, you can take that anywhere. That's what was so good about Gibbs 1, that identity of power running.

I think KC can run both systems very well.

Regardless, if the Redskins want any shot at the postseason, then the quarterback must lead them. So the burden is on Cousins, who earned the franchise tag a year ago with his play in December. Again: If you’re going to earn possibly the largest contract for a quarterback, then expectations are rightly higher. He reached that level in October and November, when he threw 17 touchdown passes to four interceptions (it was eight and zero, respectively, in November alone). It can be done. One game doesn't define a season or a future. But one month certainly helps do just that.

In December, Cousins has completed 63.8 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and three interceptions. He owns a passer rating of 85.4 and a total QBR of 68.2. Not everything is on him, but if you tout the 2015 numbers, you have to accept 2016 as well. And last year Cousins was praised for his four December games (they played Dallas in January after clinching the division): He threw 10 touchdowns and one interception with a 121.0 passer rating and total QBR of 84.2.

He’ll earn what he gets this offseason, too, whatever the amount.

Against Carolina, there were times Cousins didn’t wait long enough to see an open target -- checking down to Chris Thompson, for example, in the first quarter when a split second later Jordan Reed broke open about 10-15 yards over the middle. Too many missed chances.

Shanahan also confirmed what a lot of us already suspected. The owner preferred RG3 over Cousins.
