LiterateStylish Posted December 16, 2012 Author Posted December 16, 2012 The announcers are having multiple orgasm over Cousins. Its getting a bit uncomfortable. But what I like best is his decisiveness. He doesn't pat the ball and look jittery in the pocket. He stands tall and just slings it. Guy can play. Either way. 285 yards and 2 TD's with 11 minutes still to play. Not bad.
LiterateStylish Posted December 16, 2012 Author Posted December 16, 2012 Game over. 350 yards and 2 TD's
peterpan Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 sooo yea, Id trade our first for Cousins. Maybe try to get their 2nd or 3rd with him for our 1st? Who the heck else we going to take?
Canks Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Duh. Oops. Ok - in the off-season. trade deadline will have passed in the offseason too. Does that make sense? the off season also won't begin until AFTER our last three games (+ the playoffs). SO your idea to have to him play for the bills now to prepare him for the future doesn't make sense. trust me.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 should have just drafted him ... hmm where have I heard that before?
NoSaint Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 should have just drafted him ... hmm where have I heard that before? Skelton had a big game? Woops.... Wrong thread.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 How can a person who is so football savvy to know "he has it" and can carry a team, not know that the trade deadline passed 8 weeks ago?? I don't claim to be able to know talent, but even I know there's a trade deadline. Your credibility of knowing anything drops down to about a zero!! And i'm not kidding. I know many of you are excited about drafting a franchise QB and I'm not the guy who jumps on any bandwagon player who played well for a week. In fact, I made a very similar post about Cousins on another message board in August after seeing Cousins play a few games. But this guy has it. He will be a good NFL QB. Send a 1st or 2nd round pick to Washington, let Cousins start the last 3 games in Buffalo, and then roll him into next year as your franchise QB. Ideally, I wouldn't want to give up a 1st or 2nd round pick for a QB that we could have drafted in the 3rd round either. But the fact of the matter is that some team is going to unload their pockets for Cousins either this off-season or next. I'd rather it be us. Facing one of the best defenses in the NFL, Cousins stepped into the game down by a TD and without taking a single snap in weeks. His first pass hit his target with pinpoint accuracy for 15 yards. His second pass nailed a covered Garcon for an 11 yard Touchdown. The very next play he completes the two point conversion. When Griffin went down against the Bears, Cousins stepped in and tossed a beautiful 75 yard TD to Santana Moss. Once again, cold off the bench, without taking a snap in weeks. In the pre-season, he torched Chicago for 270 yards and 3 TD's. This is not a strong QB draft. There are a bunch of boom or bust QB's - we can't take that risk. It's been over a decade. Let the Jacksonville's and Chiefs of the world draft a QB every couple of years crossing their fingers and hoping for the best. A film junkie who played in a Pro offense in college and rarely takes a sack? A proven winner from a power conference? Yes please. Get him on the next plane. Edited: Forgot about trade deadline. Thanks Numark. Wrong. This draft is full of QB busts. Cousins can absolutely carry a team on his back. And he will. I just hope it's us.
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Gimme a break. Kirk Cousins is whatever. Fitz beat the Browns. Basically, we have a wife who got fat and ugly and any other girl with a pulse looks much better. Get a QB from this draft and stop looking at other team's backups/ garbage
angryfan62 Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 If Fitz didnt have that stupid contract we could trade him and a 2nd for Cousins I respect your post Sir but do you honestly believe there is a market for Fitz?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Skelton had a big game? Woops.... Wrong thread. You know it! Make the trade NOW!!!
26CornerBlitz Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 I highly doubt that Washington will deal Cousins: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/17/redskins-would-be-crazy-to-trade-cousins/
peterpan Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) We should trade our 1st for Cousins and their 2nd. That way we dont 'lose' any picks (still have 7) and gain a player. If we draft 7 or 8 and the Skins are 20-25 that basically values Cousins as the 12 or 13 overall pick. If what he showed this year was his Senior yr in college I bet he would be the #1 pick in this draft. Not bad value for us. And if the Skins have an opportunity to draft say, Mante Teo, by giving up a late 2nd and their backup QB - they just might do it. We could even give them TJ to replace Cousins as their back!

I guess this is what Fitz does to people. fact: there are several Kirk cousins in this draft. My god, the hype for a guy beating the Browns. Why don't you check out what Fitz threw for in his first NFL start? Saved you the time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Fitzpatrick Coming into the eleventh game of the regular season in the second quarter against the Houston Texans to replace injured veteran journeyman Jamie Martin, Fitzpatrick led the Rams from a 24–3 halftime deficit to a 33–27 overtime win, throwing for 310 yards and three touchdowns, completing 63.3% of his passes and 117.4 QB rating for the game. This made Fitzpatrick one of only seven players who passed for more 300 yards in their NFL debut. Edited December 17, 2012 by C.Biscuit97
ProbablyWrong Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 I'd be happy to trade a 2nd or 3rd rounder for him. I would still want to draft a QB high to get a real competition going though.

I think TJ only signed a 1 year deal? So you can;t trade a free agent.
JPS Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Since some of you folks love FANTASYLAND, why don't you just trade a 3rd to the Colts for Andrew Luck.....or maybe...MAYBE a 1st to Green Bay for Aaron Rodgers.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 They are not trading Cousins. So does JPS stand for James Paul Shanahan? Why don't you check out what Fitz threw for in his first NFL start?

Make the trade NOW!!! Bravo!

I know it sounds rediculous, Im desperate, and I simply dont believe there are many QBs as good as Cousins in this draft. We are going to spend a 1st or 2nd rounder on a QB anyways. Couldnt those guys be bust just like Cousins? Edited December 17, 2012 by peterpan
