What makes you think they won’t spend a high draft pick on a QB?
They definitely wouldn’t have spent a 1st rounder on one if they got Cousins, as they would have virtually given the franchise keys to him with a massive contract coming
I’m not too sure about the comp pick.
And ya, I personally think it’s s good move by the Redskins, to your point .
I really don’t think there’s much of a difference between them and like you said, they got Smith wayyyy cheaper
What has made him a franchise QB so far in his career?
I don't want to the Jets to have him to your point, but as of right now in his career he is not a franchise QB.
Maybe in fantasy football, that's about it
Truly impressive how he played against the Jags?
In like 4 snaps he fumbled that luckily went out of bounds, had an intentional grounding, and threw and interception....
He made 1 throw for like 11 yards....
Peterman in my opinion isn't even a guarantee to make the team next year.
If they decide to draft a rookie this year, Peterman will have to hope the Bills keep 3 QBS.
Because you can surely bet they will bring in a veteran to back up the rookie, and that would leave Peterman as the 3rd QB
Trade up.
I got a question about cousins though if the bills were to sign him.
How tight would they be against the cap if they inked him to the expected 25 mil per year? (Or roughly that)
Because I know with Wood retiring and releasing TT, that would result in what, roughly 12 mil in dead money?
Question for anyone who knows the Bills salary cap situation well...
How tight would the cap number be if they were to lock up cousins to a long term contract?
Just thinking they have a lot of dead money next year with Wood retiring, and would of course release Tyrod resulting in more dead money
All fair points. I’m just saying as of right now in 2018, Smith Is much better than TT my opinion.
I personally think Tyrod has hit his ceiling as well and won’t progress like Smith did, but I guess time will tell
If you want to say Cousins is better, fair enough, but I think they are very close.
But as I said earlier, I don't understand the comparison between him and TT.
I think Smith is light years ahead of Tyrod
I personally don't think there's too much of a difference between them.
For the differences in their contracts, I would take Smith over Cousins. I have Cousins around 13th best QB and Smith around 14-15.
The one thing Cousins has going for him Is he is much younger though
I agree. I hate the Tyrod/Smith comparison.
Smith is a better QB at pretty much every facet of the game.
Maybe outside of scrambling I’ll say, but he’s still good at it
Alex Smith in a heartbeat. I find Bradford so overrated
Why is it obvious Bradford is better?
What has Bradford accomplished in almost 10 years in this league?
I don’t believe he’s ever even played in the playoffs
MAJBobby, I think you do make some fair points.
But this is hindsight now, and it's of course easier to speak after the fact.
Question, and answer it honestly.
When the Bills gave him a 2 year extension, were you mad about the contract at that time?
