Doc Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 BTW, what a difference a year makes. Last year at this time, more than a few wanted the Bills to trade a 1st or 2nd for Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Could make sense for the Browns with Shanny Jr in town....if Cousins is any good, he would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tintonfallsbillsfan Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 4th ? They are floating his name to get an Alex Smith type haul . 2 and something no sense to give him away for anything less then a 2 or multiple picks 3,4,5, even that sounds light. I am not saying he is worth it but I believe that will be the cost Could make sense for the Browns with Shanny Jr in town....if Cousins is any good, he would know. that makes a lost of sense and the Browns have a bunch of top 100 picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 He is just like any other young QB (ups and downs). Someone will give up a 2 for him. That talent in Washington is not very good. I don't know if Cousins will ever be good but he will get a chance to start somewhere. Jacksonville, Cleveland, Minnesota and Oakland are some options.

Rob's House Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I can't see anyone parting with a high pick for Cousins. He's shown some potential, but he's also shown his limitations. I can't imagine any point in the first 2-3 rounds where there won't a QB available that I personally would prefer to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The Bills had Matt Flynn on the team and he never saw a down, and the same with Tarvaris Jackson. At this point I highly doubt that they will trade for another maybe player. Besides this coaching staff is very enamored with Tuel and Lewis, and perhaps even Kolb.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I hate to be pessimistic, but I'm never comfortable giving an unproven guy like this a look, see Rob Johnson and Matt Flynn. He did not look great this year at all. He had better value after 2012. If anyone give up more then a 3rd for him they are blind fools. There is no reason to think Cousins is not the next Ryan Fitzpoopstick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with Lewis as he showed promise. Tuel and Kolb need to go. What about McGown from Chicago. He's a nice back up that lit it up with the Bears when Cutler was down. My reasoning is he won't threaten Manuel, can come in at the drop of a hat, can teach Manuel the NFL, and we don't waste a draft pic on a QB in the third round. I want offensive talent loaded up in the first three rounds. We have to do something about ranking 29th in the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 He is naturally being linked to Shanny Jr and interesting that he floated his name the day after he was named OC for the Browns. It would be perfect for them too - go get the DC off 6-10 team as your HC, the LB coach off the same team as your DC, the OC off a 3-13 team as your OC, and the (backup) QB off of a 3-13 as your QB. And give up draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because Cousins LOOKS(size) the part does not mean he is a qb. Edited February 2, 2014 by atlbillsfan1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) I think the team stunk more than Cousins. yes, they were in full "run for the bus" mode by the time cousins took over. Edited February 2, 2014 by mannc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) At best he would be competition, and end up being EJ's back up instead of Thad... I have a feeling we're going into next season with EJ, Thad, and Tuel on the PS (if he's still eligible) Edited February 2, 2014 by Dorkington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And give up draft picks. Is this "The Cleveland Way"? Unfortunately, I don't think Pettine's first HC gig will end well or last very long. He's already behind the eight ball with late coaching hires and a questionable front office and owner. His worst move has been hiring Kyle Shanahan, a bad choice as OC, IMHO. Shanny was a flop in both New Jersey and DC and I don't see that changing in Cleveland. Kirk Cousins certainly won't help. At this point, Hoyer is a better option than he is. The Brownies need to find their franchise QB via the draft. Anybody willing to surrender more than a late 3rd or 4th for Cousins is crazy but some GM will think that he's the one to make chicken salad out of chicken shite. That's "The NFL Way".

BarleyNY Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I guess we could find out what Shanahan thinks about him. Cleveland could trade their second round pick for him and use those first picks to fix other areas. If I were in their shoes I'd think long and hard about this. Nobody knows him better than Shanahan. Other than the Shanny hire why would Cleveland trade for him? They've already got a very similar talent in Hoyer on their roster. In fact I like Hoyer a little bit better.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 You obviously haven't heard about the wedding where Hackett, Marrone, and Whaley all married EJ. Ain't Happenin'!! Sad but true Those guys each only had one start. Cousins has a bunch in his first 2 years. Would be comical if Cousins turned out better than RG3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Sad but true Would be comical if Cousins turned out better than RG3 Well now Cousins has the official BB stink on him. Seriously, the myth of Cousins is amazing. He was a 4th round pick and somehow became thought of as good. He's a backup at best. Thad Lewis is a better QB than him. But trading for backup QBs always works out really well!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) I really think the Browns are going to do everything possible to get Manziel, especially after a "short" Houdini-like QB just won the SB. JFF was better than RW in college, his personality/character questions could not be more different than RW but that is something he can change, or at least create the perception he has grown up by draft time. I think Houston will take him #1 unless the Browns trade up and I have a feeling it would take a chunk of their picks.
