Is he elite, or a fluke?

That cracka is trash period why you make this thread? You letting them meaningless stats cloud your judgement? His stats were good against teams below .500 and the worst defenses in the league...

Ask yourself what was his record against wining teams or teams above .500? That cracka was guaranteed to throw 2 picks a game minimum

Redskins fan here, long time lurker, first time posting in the Coliseum.

he is a B Grade QB. he deserves the money because of the market and what he does for our team, but he is not top level. I watch every game and i HATE saying this, but his stats lie. He looks average during games. I would almost call him an Alex Smith but at least Smith doesn't have the turnover bug Cousins gets under presssure.

Honestly I think they intentionally sabotaged the offense this year to make it so that he wouldn't put up big numbers and they could sign him for a much lower amount. :skip: It was the first time in NFL history that a team let go of their top 2 1000-yard receivers. I can see maybe letting one go but BOTH of them?




And its after all the years that we spent looking to draft WRs. I hope it's intentional instead of dysfunctional.

But he's the best Redskins QB since doug williams based on numbers. I mean they have to pay him.

They need to pay him every cent even if its just to make up for what they did to doug williams

Welcome to the coli (Posting, anyway)


I think the fact the Redskins were this close to playofffs means he has a case, or he'll run off to SF...

he definitely has a case. I do agree that letting his receivers walk was a sign they want to see him lead a team and not count on dynamic receivers. Without DJaxx, his numbers wouldve looked a little more real in the light. Take away 2 1000 yard receivers and see if he can do it with anyone (pause). That being said, they still need to pay him. We have been in QB purgatory since Ive been an adult. I like the stability with the coach even though he gets out coached often, I'd love to see it with cousins as well. We gave all those free agents money for nothing, lets just pay this guy for once.

hes a decent volume passer. hes nowhere close to elite or even great qb status. has a knack of turnovers in crunch time. stats go down a good amount on third down, or 10+ yards to go unlike great/elite qbs. hes an average/above average qb - exactly the type of qb who is extremely overrated in the nfl. good enough to not be discarded but not good enough to be great/elite and blocking team in salary and trying new guys.

whoever trades a ton of picks for him will be very sorry. hope its not us :sadcam:

I think so. And having matt jones demand to leave is problem as well. Let's see what he can do without those weapons.

It will be you. Shanahan loves the franchise QB with huge numbers.

I don't think Cousins has the game-breaking ability to win in the playoffs against a good defense. However he's a top 15 regular season QB.

Was he right to turn down the new contract?

Yes, the money Cousins makes via the current and perhaps future franchise tags is better than the money he would make on a long term contract.

Kirk Cousins proves worth in Redskins' win over Raiders
LANDOVER, Md. -- The referendum arrives after every game, sometimes with each pass: Pay Kirk Cousins! Don't pay him! He's worth a bundle. He's not worth much of anything.

But the truth with Cousins is this: He's capable of struggling but also of producing huge nights. That's why those who made up their minds on Cousins a while ago haven't really changed. Each side can offer proof as to why they think the way they do.

Kirk Cousins is a "whatever" quarterback.
That is my rating for any quarterback that falls between top 8 and 17. Anything lower is trash quarterback.

Hey Seedz, what do you think of Aaron Rodgers?
He's great!

Hey Seedz, what do you think of Mark Sanchez?
He's trash!

Hey Seedz, what do you think of Kirk Cousins?
Whatever.

Side note: all "whatever" quarterbacks have a high tendency of being thrown into the "trash" category at various times during most games.
