Denver's D was worse than ours in points against. Also Tailb might be on the way out which might take it down a fee more pegs. I don't debate their competition but not better than us.

Well, I disagree in that Denver's D is built to play with leads and I think Cousins may give them that more often than not. Their front seven is leaps and bounds better than ours. That said, I do think they missed Wade Phillips' scheming last year.

Wtf is Washington doing? They don't actually think Smith is better than Cousins, do they?

When you are boxed in you acknowledge the situation and make the best of the weak situation you are in. Cousins was not going to sign with them.  And the team didn't believe he was worth the extravagant contract this year. To make the situation worse if they did franchise him and he played on another one year deal the team would be in the same situation the following year. What the signing of Smith does is buy time to get another qb.

They didn't think Cousins was worth a big contract, but Alex Smith is worth a 2nd round pick and a 4 year extension? Doesn't make sense to me but it's not like Washington has been the team to look up to in recent years.

Guess the rumors about that organization being in disarray were true...not only do they spend a ton of money on Smith, while losing draft capital and a player....but they could have just spent the money on a younger Cousins, while keeping all their assets. :lol:

This isn't the first time a good player has been mishandled and it won't be the last. Stats show Cousins is consistently top 10, sometimes top 5. And would free up our draft picks to build around him.

 

He's not top 5, not even close 

 

Brady

Rodgers

Brees

Wentz

Goff

Wilson

Rothlisberger

Stafford

Luck if he gets healthy again.

Rivers

Ryan...

 

Top 10 is even debatable. Not even consistent.

I hope there isn't even one Bills fan that doesn't want Kirk Cousins.  It would be awesome to see a QB find his wide open receivers instead of dumping it off to a FB.  Kirk Cousins would be a huge upgrade.  Here are his numbers the last 3 years:

 

2017.... 4,093.  27 TDs.
2016.... 4,917.  25 TDs.
2015.... 4,166.  29 TDs.

Agree it's common around the league. 

 

Which is is why I find it funny when Bills fans destroy Tyrod the way they do as if he is the only QB who has bad games. 

 

Tyrod has arguably regressed every season. Cousins has been very consistent. He won't lose you a game very often. He isn't Brady, he won't win games when he has zero help, but he's certainly closer to Brady than he is to Tyrod. Personally I count 2-3 more wins if Cousins was the starter last year.

Cousins was not going to sign with them. So in order to retain him they would have had to franchise him on a one year exorbitant franchise tag price. Then the next year they would be in the same situation.

I think that it is the Browns or Broncos.

Cousins isn't coming here.

 

IMO Jets sign him.

 

Why would Cousins go to a team with a coach on the hot seat? All three of those teams are declining. Why would Cousins want to go to that?
