1) at least Cleveland didn't do that trade.
2) he gonna miss Andy LIKE SHIT.

>2) he gonna miss Andy LIKE SHIT.

I just don't see it for us. Hope I'm wrong, though

I just live for the comments -Da wiz

After the literal crook who owns Cleveland.

And they wouldn’t pay Kirk?

lolol

I thought the whole idea of not resigning Kurt was to SAVE money.

For $20 million

Will be interesting if he plays that all the way out.

yet you're thinking about the QB for the Cowboys. Weird.

Surely if we're talking about whether or not to grease our light poles, chiming in on a major move & the QB standings isn't out of the question. You damn Skip-py (see what I did there).

But uhm.....They should have just let him go.....Not trade for Alex Smith....

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

but it was obvious from the beginning that they didn't have any plan to do better than him and guess what they haven't.

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

that wouldn't have just paid him fair market value two years ago and then gotten to work building a team around him. But the geniuses at WFC offered him $12.5M a year. lol

So instead, they're losing him for nothing, and paying a 33 year old occasional game manager nearly as much money as Kirk would have cost.

picket line, stealing our jobs

You really telling me they paid this man too?

shit is really inexplicable

Welcome to the NFC East, Alex.

2 years ago their opening offer to Cousins was $12.5M /year

Bruce Allen is a fucking moron.

nobody thinking about him, lol. Came through like "yall remember me?"

Bob has more than earned the right to laugh at them.

Folks still do bring this guy up.

let's focus on those that deserve ridicule:

Everyone upstairs at the WFC offices.

when it was apparent he was going to go to Cleveland.
If he had gone to the Cleveland team that existed at the time of that draft, they're a hamster wheel playoff team by now, and 0-16 doesn't happen

but never mind the siceage. "The (Aptly-Named) Letter L" (whose identity I know now) was talking all this mess about how much better WFC was because 1991.

in 1991, George Bush, First of His Name was President, talking about The Simpsons as if they were the pinnacle of "Bad American Family".

Also, WFC went 14-2 and won a Super Bowl. A lot has happened since then. A whole lot.

Yes, I'm mad. Let's move on.

Cousins:
Not special
Poor off schedule, but good in a rigidly structured offense
Not athletic
Thrived with mediocre talent surrounding him

Smith:
Not special
Surprisingly good off schedule, but not otherwise dynamic
Ahtletic
Thrived, but with special talent surrounding him

Grading this as a pure QB swap, it's kind of a wash.
Now, Smith is a little older. But Cousins would've cost more.


We included a third round pick, but when Cousins signs elsewhere we'll be compensated a third round pick too so that's also a wash.


We did part with a promising young defensive talent in Kendall Fuller. Given his upside and how bad our Defense is, we weren't at liberty to let that guy go. No position on this team is at a surplus, especially not on that side of the ball.


But what consistently stresses me out, and really does affect my mood more than it should, is how poorly this team does business. They're obsessively, confusingly, frustratingly petty. Maybe McLoughan was a drunk, fine - just fire him and move on, don't drag his name through the mud, alcoholism is a tragedy. Ok, Cousins turned the deal down last Summer, just carry on - don't record a selfie video in a bathroom while on vacation just to announce he spurned the team.

Karma is a real thing, and they just-don't-fuckin-care about it. They think that they must always try to save face, that they must always preserve the benefit of the doubt in the court of public opinion. What they fail to grasp is that there IS NOT BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT LEFT TO GIVE. People hate this owner and his cronies, no limpdick PR management effort can change that.

They didn't just make the trade public last night, they made the terms public too, one more slap in the face to Cousins. I don't even know what the desired outcome in doing that is. It's so sadly spiteful. That's my biggest takeaway from the whole thing.

So, in summary:

- Cousins and Smith are both better-than-average but not great

- we parted with an asset that we should not have parted with

- Once more, we somehow embarrassed ourselves in the process

If the team had no QB and they signed Smith as a FA for $15M/year or something, to be a placeholder vet. That plan would be fine.

*trading* for Smith, giving him maybe $70M guaranteed at the age of 33, and doing it while you have a perfectly solid QB already on your team (which you managed to somehow fuck up keeping), is a joke.

There are maybe three other teams in the league who would have fucked this all up like Bruce Allen did and not sign Cousins two years ago for a ~5 year deal at market rate.

Bruce and Dan tried to be slick with a lowball offer of $12.5M/year two years ago and it's blown up in their faces.

One of the only decent QBs the franchise has had in like 30 years (seriously), and he's walking out the door for nothing.

They could probably have gotten one of the Vikings QBs for cheaper and kept Fuller. Smith isn't a game changer so sign one of the Viking QBs for cheaper and net the same result record wise IMO.

This organization stays doing dumb things.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upgrade the talent in other areas. Getting one of the Minny QBs would allow Washington to do that.

I think he's done worse than Vinnie Cerrato has ever done.

Hiring a drunk was a bad idea. Firing him because he is a drunk just makes you look damn stupid. But I honestly think that it wasn't because of his drinking that got him fired. He pissed Bruce off something serious prolly about Kirk. He did a good job trying to rebuild this team. We were finally going to see something good come to fruition.

Paying top dollar for an old QB is some Vinnie shit.

Sub .400 is inexcusable. Why is Danny keeping his bum ass around. He's killed whatever momentum we had because of his egomania with GMSM. Fuck this guy.

He is a better GM than Allen and everyone knew it.

So Allen had him fired.

I'm eager to find out who really wants Kirk Cousins that badly.

He's going to be expensive man

Arizona
Denver
Cleveland (if they trade back from 1)
NY Jets

Those are the only real obvious landing spots for me.

Jets been desperado for a decent qb for how long? They gon give him whatever he wants.

and if any of the old ass QBs retire (Rapist 1.0 or anyone else)

Kirk is sitting pretty right now (even though most situations will be bad teams)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dont know

b/c the Bortles extension money they can't afford to switch to Cousins. But they shouldn't have given Bortles that extension.

Unless they think he's actually a 2nd tier QB... which he's not.

He's 29 and looking for a big contract. Not *nearly* good enough to consider giving one. I'll take my chances with a season of 26-year-old Blake next year over that. After that, Blake's a free agent-- so next year will give him plenty of incentive to deliver and show the Jags he's the guy a winning franchise wants to rely on.

He'd actually be a good fit for the Donkeys

For better or worse, he either puts a competent QB on the roster or 2018 or hits the bricks. The only guy who makes that an immediate reality for him is Cousins. Long-term planning be damned, no one's trying to see Siemian/Lynch/Osweiler-level quarterbacking here anymore.

.

gets catapulted into the playoffs with the addition of Kirk Cousins?

...I'm from the era when A.I. was the answer, now they think ai is the answer - Marlon Craft

he certainly can't be talkin' about Kurt.

but its the Browns...

<-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><->
<-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><->

Alex Smith doesn't play for my QB needy team so fuck him.

The Washington team has a racist name so fuck them. Fuck them again for freeing Kirk and placing the Browns in a position to overpay him and wind up looking like the Texans after signing Osweiler.

Fuck the fact that any good players changed teams not named the teams I root for.

Fuck the Chiefs for trading Alex Smith to Washington instead of Cleveland like they should've done.
