Clock's ticking for Kirk Cousins, Redskins: Why deal remains long shot
I know this isn't exactly a surprise but man is Snyder a shit owner. I'm just glad my team is a regular shit team that seems to be moving up. No matter how well the Skins do, they still have a retard with too much power running the franchise. How do you fuck up the most important position in the game with a talented option just sitting there? Just blows my mind and I'm used to his stupidity by now. He just continues to up his game. Mad respect??
Sophomore slumps are a very real thing though.
They are going to have to pay him 20+m a year. Frankly with how they have fucked him around the last couple years i hope he walks.Actually...Snyder is the only reason there are ANY positive feelings about reaching a long term deal. He personally reached out to Cousins and his camp to say they wanted him here, etc. All sorts of rumors about where the sides are apart on for the contract, from being 3-5 million a year off in salary to a big gap in the guaranteed money (read rumor that Cousins wanted $90 mil guaranteed on the long term deal). For my money, the fault lies in the power struggle that occurred with Bruce and former GMSM...but there are also a lot of talk about how many in the Skins front office don't see Cousins as a top 5-10 guy, more a top 15 guy, and don't want to pay him quite that much. His numbers the last 2 years say top 10, but I hear around the league most share the same view as Skins front office that his numbers are better than he is overall.
Personally I still say pay him, try to save as much $$ as you can, but fact is if you don't have a top half of the league guy (top 15), you're not going anywhere. If he bolts for San Fran and Kyle Shanahan next year, we're back to square one, despite the decent overhaul the roster has seen in the last few years.

The best part will be when Cousins leaves, continues to have very good seasons, then Snyder overpays for the next Redskins QB that shows some promise so as not to repeat his mistake, only for that QB to be the one that crashes back to reality and starts sucking, causing a huge cap drain. This is your destiny, Redskins fans.
It will be interesting to see how he does this year. He lost his top 2 targets in Garcon and Jackson, so it wouldn't be all that surprising to see him regress
If you guys would have signed him the year before like you should have you would have gotten him cheaper and not be in this situation. Only the Redskins bock at a top 15 QB because hes not Tom Brady. Better just let him go because you're guaranteed to get a top 5 replacement instead. Laughs.I think Cousins has benefited from his situation quite a bit. Still think he's top half of the league as a starter, but I don't think he's shown he's a top 10 guy yet. For all our problems, Skins O line is very good, especially in pass protection, and he's had great weapons to throw to.
Although everything you describe does sound like our destiny. But still...he might have that contract already had he not blown that Week 17 game against the Giants with the late pick.

Right. I had beer on the brain I guess.*balk

I do not expect Kirk to regress, but the Redskins FO seems to keep expecting him to.
I'm fine with making him the top paid QB in the league even if he is only top 15 in ability, It's the price of expecting him to regress and being wrong.
Watching the Skins offense last year was so much fun, I don't want to lose that. Even tho I still have PTSD from that Giants Int.
