Alex Smith* has no such issues.

*with Kelce, Hill, & Hunt

Beathard looked pretty good yesterday. If he plays the remainder of the season like he did yesterday, SF won't need a QB.

Ryan Grant > Doctson

So how many busts does this make for the "In Scot We Trust" god-like GM?

Colt McCoy/Nate Sudfeld 2018...

Thank you for some much needed logic.

FWIW, Keim was asked about the SM/Cousins relationship on Twitter and responded that he knew for a fact that during training camp this season, SM was not sold on Cousins.

Why does anyone still read anything Florio "reports"? Has he ever been right?

Scot getting hummers from reporters for inside info, as well as his past history with alcohol should make people pause before condemning the organization. They are to blame with the way they handled it, but Scot isn't coming out of this looking like a bed of roses.

Kirk is the hero we need.

HEROHAMO wrote:Signing Prior is a positive.

Prior is basically Jackson and Garcon rolled into one player. He's also under 30 years old.

Kirk if he is staying will need Prior.

Pryor will need Kirk.

Bruce Allen's calling plays now?!?!

Lastly, enough with this if so and so is gone, I'm done with this team! When you decided to be a Redskins fan you know the record of the past 2 decades and what you are getting into. You're letting emotions get the best of you. You take the falls when things go wrong and when things go up you get ...

Burgundy&GoldForever wrote:So, the plan is to give him $24MM+ and then let him walk next season and get nothing in return? Brilliant.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this somehow would make you think "F Cousins".

No, he doesn't. That's just asinine thinking. How about a year out of football or on the bench behind Colt McCoy? How will that do for your next contract, Kirk?
What are you talking about? Cousins will sign the tag and play under it for a year and get $24 million and then hit the open market. No ...

Half of me says "F Cousins" because it's not about what he wants.
Yes it is. This is solely about what Cousins wants. The FO needs to put their big boy pants on and resign him. There are no two ways around it. And if Cousins doesn't want to be here, the FO need to trade him to get something in ...

I think Kirk is a very good QB, without a doubt. But, if he goes, I'm still a fan for sure.

Its not about Kirk specifically. Its all of it. Its about the team just obliterating overnight anything good they've been building.
Agreed.

How is this fan base supposed to remain positive after losing ...

The size of the deal is not all that important - the amount it would take to sign Cousins is most likely between $22M-$25M - EVEN if you give him $26M the franchise can still afford to do whatever it wants financially
it's SIMPLE - Cousins is not worth signing to a long term deal that hurts the ...

Whether it is true or not, there should be clarity on McCloughan or this leads to speculation/rumors/lies/investigating.
If this is complete BS, why do the Redskins need to do anything at all? Let the media speculate. Who cares? Why even bother acknowledging something that is a total fabrication ...

riggofan wrote:yeah let's keep blaming Chris Russell. I'm sure he's out there just making stuff up.

So Scot's agent, his wife, and other sources are making stuff up? All of them have refuted the "sent home Jan. 20th" initial report...by Russell.

A ton of people are upset at losing SM? What has he done for this organization that warrants this type of response?

I don't believe Chris Russell here. At worst, Scottie's hitting the sauce again and they're trying to save face.

Well looks like you Kirk fans love a mediocre qb more than you do the actual Washington Redskins.

Looks like Danny and Bruce went against Scotts advice and are now forcing Scott out.

So we lose our only competent football mind and may sign a Qb who lays more eggs then the easter bunny.

Oh gee ...

Why would the 49ers agree to such a deal? It's still a one year rental, and they would potentially risk Kirk leaving after this year.

Like the Baltimore game in 2012? Or Philadelphia in 2015? Or Chicago last year?
