Shanahan & Son don't trust that RG3 is a sure thing nearly as much as Allen & Snyder do.
RG3 was Bruce & Danny's pick... Cousins was Mike & Kyle's pick. Simple as that.
We have addressed oline, inside linebacker, a gang of dbs, wrs, and then added a second- third round talent with one of our two fourth round picks to solidify our qb depth. I'm sure they were surprised he was there and I know for a fact they didn't have anyone rated higher at qb and likely any position. Excellent pick IMO. Bye bye to rex next year? Thank you shannallen!
The rest of your post is straight up ignorant and so far off base it'd be retarded to even break it down for you. Like teaching a dog chess.. they just don't get it but it ain't there fault, ya know?
Bom roasted!
Welcome to the site buddy- we have a few trolls lurking so I hope you are just a slightly confused or misinformed fan.

BG3 is "the poster" ... ... I mean GSPODS/Jeremy. He started another screen name... again... when he finally noticed everyone was ignoring the troll. The writing style is the same.

Washington Redskins — Kirk Cousins, QB, Michigan State (102nd pick overall) — Yes, the questions came fast when the Redskins became the first team to select two quarterbacks in the first four rounds since 1989, but the pick makes sense in one way — Robert Griffin III is bigger and stronger than Michael Vick, but quarterbacks who run around a lot tend to get hit a lot, and they tend to get hurt as a result. The Redskins will need a coachable and reliable backup who can come in, Ty Detmer/Jeff Garcia-style sub who can come in and help win the odd game as a spot starter. Does that sound like Rex Grossman to you? Cousins needs some help keeping it together under pressure, but he's halfway to being the ideal West Coast offense backup.
Shanahan on quarterback Kirk Cousins’ backup role with the Redskins:
“You’re right, but there are injuries. I’ve lost five tailbacks in three games. I’ve lost two tight ends as we did this year. I’ve lost three or four offensive linemen, and you’re two plays away from being the starter. We have to have depth on a football team to win and you want quality. So if you see a guy, a quality player that you can get in the fourth round like we did, that is one or two plays away from being the starter, hopefully it doesn’t happen, but you ought to be prepared if it does. Getting a chance to know [Cousins], to know what type of guy he is, to know what he brings to the table, I thought it was a steal for us at that position. With as many draft choices that we were able to get throughout the draft, I was pleased at the end result.
Shanahan on what he told Cousins before he drafted him:
“I told him, ‘I know you know that we obtained Robert,’ and that he was going to be our quarterback. He’s our franchise quarterback. He’s our quarterback of the future. Kirk Cousins is a very smart guy. I told him that I couldn’t pass him up. You’re in the fourth round and it’s the third day, I said, ‘you want to put your best football team together.’ The question was asked, ‘well does he know he’s going to be a backup?’ Sure he knows he’s going to be a backup, but you’re one play away or two plays away from being the starter. You never know what’s going to happen in the National Football League. I’m hoping Robert, for the next 10 years, never misses a game, and we keep our fingers crossed that that happens. I know what Robert has the capabilities of doing, and we’re going to give him the supporting cast where he can go in and get it done. That’s my job, to give him the best players to go out there and obviously execute our game plan, and hopefully he will be able to do that.”
the pick is getting panned in a lot places....it simply was a dumb decision. it's not shanahans first dumb decision with qbs in Washington either.......there's precedent here...he's already made MULTIPle mistakes at qb in two short seasons, so picking on this pick absolutely has justification.

Omg Poster... You and Lavatory arrington are right Shanny is the worst Qb talent finder ever. How could we be so stupid thank god we got you around. Total waste we should have never cut John Beck.

Fail. The ONLY way to deal with a troll is to ignore. Trust me. Don't feed the troll.

Just ban him then. That take care of the troll.
NO!!
it's simple
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)
I don't understand the uproar over taking Cousins. We were going to carry 3 QBs. He's better than Beck. We got better by taking him. He's the 3rd string QB, but he's smart enough to get up to speed in a year or so. I see no controversy.

THN has house rules that we ask everyone to follow. Provided people are posting within those boundaries, they aren't going to be warned, much less banned.
Why not? Well, just like there are standards for board members, THN holds itself to certain standards too. This is the kind of place where people speak their mind: always has been, always will be.

The whole thing has been silly. OMG, we used three #1's and a #2 to draft a quarterback and took another one in the fourth round. Controversy! Obviously we meant them to compete! What other reason could there be! Yeah. Then we turn around and cut Glen Beck, showing who Cousins was competing with. The third stringer. Which was really a no-duh anyway.
Glen Beck? That doesn't sound right. Maybe it was Jeff Beck. Or was it Stein Beck.
Who cares, none of them are Redskins, over it...
